I realize that the woods are thick with leaves and also bugs. But, now IS the time to start your search.
There are a lot of thinks to consider when making this purchase.
1) Are you using this property only for hunting.
2) Are you buying the property on your own or with partners.
3) Will you construct a shelter and do you need power.
4) What area are you thinking.
5) Is the area you are thinking conducive to good hunting for the game you are pursuing.
Once you answer these questions, then you move to the next ones.
1) How am I going to pay for this property.
2) Do I have enough down payment that will be required.
3) Should I go to the bank for the loan.
4) Should I consider owner financing and the short falls that go with it.
Next, If you don't have a particular property in mind, but you know the area. ( Because you answered the above questions)
1) Pull out the maps and look at the terrain and the density of the population.
2) Contact the DNR for any input for the area you are looking.
3) Are there additional chances to hunt State Land close by.
4) Talk to the locals at the restaurants and sports shops.
The Biggest one of all...
Contact a Real Estate Agent that is also a Hunter. You need someone that understands the type of property you need for the game you are looking for. You don't want all grass land if you are hunting deer, or all woods if you are after upland birds.
You wouldn't go to an eye doctor to have a tooth pulled. So why work with someone that has no idea of what it is like to hunt the quarry you are after.
I am personally a Deer hunter. Call me if that is your quarry.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting.
