I would have to say that I'm not jealous, but when I do look at the photos I would like to have land like that, but also when you have land like that, he have responsibility, and somebody else after it (kids)(grandkids). Which isn't all that bad.
But I have also heard the stories of people that have land, and if it's not in the right place, you constantly chasing those that have no conscience, or no respect, in keeping them off the land. The problem with buying land in Minnesota, is eventually you have a mall put up next to you. Or House Garden
But I've been really fortunate, that God placed individuals in my life that give me the opportunity to hunt their land. Now I can't walk out on that whenever I want to, it's by invitation. But maybe next year I will have that opportunity, because the other alternative is to help someone who does have land, take down the tree stands, plant food plots, and take care of that land just like as if it's yours, and they will see that you respect them and the land. It builds a friendship, and that's irreplaceable. Maybe I am different, but God has placed me in a job that I work with archery, I hunt with people that do have land, and they walk around with me on that land like it is their living room, showing me in telling me things that they wouldn't tell others.
It's definitely a blessing, the particular land I am hunting on now, was $15,000 a lot years ago , and if he sold it now maybe well over $200,000. I could never afford that, or should I say justified that for hunting. Maybe I could if I put up a indoor shooting range of 50 yr, and the traditional bow shop, with a 3-D outside range and move my house out on that land, but that would distribute it quite a bit.
all I can say is " God is good"
