The fantasy of owning hunting land continues to surface in my dreams. But I will be mortgage and almost debt free in 3 years, at age 49. The thought of having another frigging mortgage will keep me from doing it.

I may lease when I get old and the landowners that let me hunt die off. I am very fortunate to have family in friends with property in 3 great counties.

Then again, I just bought a camper on a campground at Monroe. Lots of public ground down there. Based on the sign in the snow, there's plenty of deer. Bow season should be pretty good around me down there. I don't have much hope for gun seson though. Might even be dangerous.
