Don’t Buy Your Dream Deer Hunting Farm Too Soon

Almost bought my "dream farm" right out of the gate - 160 acres of prime whitetail country. Thank God the deal fell through. Here's the brutal truth about hunting land: Don't start with your dream property. Start with the stepping stones. I learned to look for value others miss: 🏞️ Rundown pastures with good soil that can become food plots 🌲 Undervalued timber the seller doesn't recognize 📍 Good hunting areas with fixable problems (old cabins, no food plots) The snowball method works: Buy undervalued → improve → sell → roll profits into bigger property → repeat After 4-5 transactions over several years, I finally had enough equity to consider that dream farm. The key? Being willing to sell each property to fund the next step up. That 20-acre starter tract taught me more about land value than any book ever could. Sometimes the best lessons come from what you almost bought wrong. Anyone else learn this lesson the hard way? #Hunting #HuntingLand #LandInvestment #DeerHunting
