What to Look for in a Timber Tract or Hunting Land

Are you looking to buy a timber tract or hunting land?

Timber tracts can be quite unique and vary from one to the next, especially in price.  Right now we are seeing a range on timber/hunting tracts that go from $2250-$5000+ per acre depending on several things.  The main factors that go into the price of the property are if there is a building site, the quality of timber on the property, other income, access (hunting and vehicle), neighborhood, improvements to the property, and proximity to paved roads.

The quality of timber on a property is important to look at when buying a tract.  When walking a property look for cut stumps and logging roads to see if the property may have been previously logged.  Good trees to look for will have a trunk of at least 24 inches that you cannot get your arms around, that have grown straight for at least the first 15-20 feet with very few branches and knots growing in those 15-20 feet.  The species to look out for are Black Walnut, Oaks and Shagbark Hickory, Maple, and Cottonwood  to name a few.

When buying a timber tract for hunting you also want to look at the neighborhood you are buying in and keep a few questions in mind.  Do they practice QDMA?  What deer have been harvested in the area in recent years?What do trail camera pictures show from the area?  Is your neighbor 1-3 large land owners or 5-8 small land owners?  These questions can help you find the right piece of ground and can also effect the hunting on the tract you are looking at.  You also want to look at access to the property.  Do you have top access?  Do you access from the North or South?  In our area we have a predominant North-North West wind so access from the South can help you access your stand locations without being winded by deer that are bedded.  Is the access off black top, is it an owned or easement access, is it off gravel, is it gated?

Another factor to look at is if there is an existing approved well, septic or electric. Permanent blinds, ponds or established food plots to help improve the property.  These can all add value to the property.  There also may be income producing factors on the property like CRP or CREP, WRP, cell phone or radio towers, wind easements and subsurface rights that could produce income.

I hope this article helps you when looking at buying a timber tract, if you have any other questions or are interested in buying a timber tract to hesitate to call me at (507)696-6228 or email me at Lucas@hpraa.com.

Uses for a 1031 Exchange in Real Estate

Did you know an IRS Code 1031 Exchange can be used to purchase land?

Land is an income producing piece of real estate in most cases. If you have an apartment complex, rental property, or commercial property that has increased in value it may be a great opportunity to sell and exchange tax deferred into a hunting farm or tillable land investment.  The exchange between commercial income producing property and land can be the same, as they can both be viewed as “income producing, non homestead, Real Estate.”  Well what about land that doesn’t have any income through buildings, CRP or tillable acres you might ask.  Land that doesn’t have any income today may very well have long term income opportunities in timber or other sources and the property doesn’t have to necessarily be income producing at the time to be exchangeable.  The 1031 Exchange has long been one of the best opportunities to buy and sell Real Estate tax deferred and the real estate that you own can be enjoyed in many different ways, whether you get enjoyment from fixing a broken pipe or having to hang that darn deer stand is a choice you will have to make for yourself!

Quick Turkey Hunting Tips

Get in Close

The first thing you need to do is locate a gobbler.  That means either roosting them the night before, finding them roosted first thing in the morning or finding them in their strut zones glassing.  Either way, once you have found them I like to get as close to them as I can before I start calling.  It makes it a lot easier to convince a longbeard to commit and come to your calls if you are nearby.

Be Mobile

The biggest key to success while turkey hunting is always being mobile.  One of the best assets I have in the turkey woods is a good turkey pack.  It allows you to set up in seconds with or without a tree while being comfortable and in great shooting position.  If you are set up on a tom but they are being stubborn.  Don’t be afraid to be quiet for 15-20 minutes and then make a move on them to get closer, or just to add some movement to your call.  Even if you move away from the turkey you can still add that movement and end up pulling those stubborn birds in for a shot.  If you can’t get that turkey to commit that day, leave them be and don’t push them too much.  If you have the luxury of hunting a large tract of land or other property, let that turkey be and go try and find another one that is more active and use that bird as an option another day when he’s feeling more aggressive or possibly not hen’d up.

Don’t Over Call

Once you get the longbeard to start responding to your calls and you hear him getting closer, ease up on your calling.  The worst thing you can do is over call.  The turkey will be much more likely to hang up out of range and make you (the hen) come to him.  Once I know the tom is committed to coming I quit calling, even when he continues to gobble I will rarely call back to make him come looking.

Enjoy the Moment

Once the longbeard is in your effective range, then it’s time to hit him hard with the calls if you can.  There is nothing I love more than to get a turkey hammering at 10-20 yards in your face.  As long as he’s being calm I like to sit back and enjoy the show they put on.  Once you can’t take it any more its time to click the safety off or clip on your release, take aim and take him!

 

I hope that this quick read will help you this turkey season!
