Or maybe you want to be able to scout and select a particular buck to focus your entire hunting efforts on without interference from unknown parties. Owning your own hunting parcel is the first step. What I'd like to do is help you prepare for the process of buying hunting land, from some procedural things to tips on finding an area with trophy potential. Before you plunk down a chec for a hunting parcel you'd be wise to do some pretty serious soul-searching. Get all your ducks in a row.
Nothing is more likely to cause a stumble than the financing issue.
Shopping for larger or more expensive properties is certain to cause heartache for all parties involved. Lenders may give you a letter stating your pre-approval for financing subject to appraisal. If you are single you are free to do whatever your finances allow. If you are not single, it would be prudent to have a summit meeting to determine the political expediency of a hunting land purchase. I've seen some pretty long faces that got all worked up over a potential hunting parcel prior to garnering support on the home front.
