Good luck And keep us posted

I haven't been back to the property in a couple weeks and I won't be this week either. I planned on being there this weekend but the girlfriend wants to go and she wants to stay at the "nice" camp so were going to my other property. Ill be back there next weekend and will report back.

haha. I say MY other property like I own them but one is a 1700 acre piece my dad leases, another is 400 that my dad leases, and the third is 360 acers that a buddy and I lease. He pays the majority share and I pay a smaller portion and do a lot of work. Im lucky to get to hunt the places I do. They are not nearly as good as some peoples hunting land but much better than some.

I graduate from LSU in december and plan to be pulling my weight(monetarily) in the lands with my pops next year.
