My 14 year old boy just drew an either-sex elk tag for 1st rifle. Looks like I'm going to be his guide this fall!! I got denied for archery deer and bear.
I am on a plane right now, traveling to Minnesota to purchase half of the family farm!
The property consists of two, 80-acre plots. The east property contains the farmhouse, 2 pole barns, and is completely interconnected with trails. My parents are selling that property for 300k.
The west...
Thanks everyone....(even the dick)! We are making progress. Possibly setting up an llc to buy the property. Give parents 50k up front and a certain amount each month.
Making calls to a lawyer on Monday.
One small ag-ready field but mostly forest and food plots. Property is full of birch, poplar, pine, and some oak. I could sell off some lumber.
Problem with the down payment/mortgage is another 10k in annual mortgage payments. Keep the ideas coming....my mind is racing right now!
I found out yesterday that my dad (and hunting mentor) listed the family farm with a real estate agent and there is a "For Sale" sign in the front yard. The farm is located in North-Central Minnesota and has been in the family since 1980. I shot my first buck that year at age 13.
Over the past...
I went down to the truck to charge my phone this morning. When I got back to my tent, a cow and calf moose had moved into my campsite. Literally 5 feet from my tent with only a crappy boma separating them.
I also heard a real-live bugle!
I just got woken up by 2 moose outside my tent! I opened the door to look out and the cow was standing 30 feet away next to my supply table. Very unsettling way to start the day.
