We learned so much about buying land for hunting. We finally closed on our new hunting farm! 

It’s been a long process, but we couldn’t be more excited. In this video, Brett breaks down the three most important things to look for when buying a deer hunting property.

 

Whether you’re in the market for your first hunting piece or just dreaming about owning your own land, these three factors are critical:

  • Find an area where deer can get old – Look for regions with lower human pressure, less hunting competition, and nearby sanctuaries or no-hunting zones.
  • Look for diversity — ag and timber mix – Properties with existing openings, early successional growth, or old fields save years of work and investment.
  • Access is everything – Without good access (especially from the east side in west-wind dominant areas), you’ll struggle to hunt effectively.

    These three things can make or break your hunting property long-term. Stick around, we will walk through what makes this new farm so exciting and how we’re planning to set it up for the season ahead.
