Oh and I realized the grand-daughter turns 18 this fall (just graduated HS).

And much to the chagrin of those who would try to cheapen, disrespect, and dishonor the relationship she and I have, the honor and satisfaction is the opportunity to teach the young lady how to hunt, respect wildlife and the game, and learn how to feed herself.

who seriously started it at an acre. just looked at zillow for washington dc. 0.30 was 2 million. the largest plot for sale is 0.76 acres at 4.5 million.

out towards me you can get a bargain at about 400k an acre

I was joking, it's what we do in OT. I sincerely apologize if you didn't get the sarcasm, I still can't find that font.

I know two things:

If you are not with me on my land, you are against me, trespassing, and I have the right to defend myself especially of you are poaching (ie, carrying a weapon).

I get along with both the sheriff (and his deputies) and the game warden. Also, I get along with both neighbors who have sections compared to my 80 and who do not hunt. Hence, come the season of my choice, I get a little permission card from them and the warden is legally satisfied.

To make matters better, one neighbor had a small barn yard fire when I was out on my land, I stopped my hunt, jumped his fence (Remmy ADL 30.06 and all) and helped him put out the fire. THAT action got me hunting rights on his land. Word got to the other neighbor and now I take his 16 year old grand daughter out deer hunting whenever they are around. Dove hunting is coming up this Labor Day and she's been doing skeet this year in preparation. Her mom's great and will spend the morning with her dad (my neighbor) and then the afternoon my wife (both the mom and my wife are VERY easy to look at, IMO).

The daughter and mom may likely come out after some snow sticks. Daughter wants to hunt in the snow and her mom wants to try the hot tub while it's snowing.

Yes, life is good, even in the winter.

Is the fence just to denote the property line? Didn't figure you guys would have fences separating the property, for wildlife purposes if nothing else.

4.5 million? Totally worth it!

Fences keep cows where cows are supposed to be (just like the doors of a bar in Bremerton, WA. LOL).

They also make for good shooting lanes

In the process of selling the house on less than 1/4 acre for a sailboat to live aboard for retirement at 30 years old... soon the entire ocean will be my backyard...

Thats wild!

At 50+ acres you'll need something like this to keep it mowed.

I own 5000 sq ft of prime real estate myself. Paid a fraction of what it's currently worth and my mortgage payment is cheaper than rent. It's enough to park my two cars on it and my house. I also have a garage so at some point I may go electric unlike many of my colleagues who rent and don't have a place to charge at night. Ahh the good life!
