    Ranch Properties

    I’m on landwatch every day. It’s fun to dream and keeps me motivated vs looking at rifles or scopes. Can’t save up for big purchases if always making little ones every time you get some pocket change. It all adds up

    KOWA 553/554 Opinions

    Took a 554 on a sheep hunt last year. After coming from a Swaro 65 sts x25-50 it was underwhelming and like looking through a paper towel roll.

    Would you buy property in a conservation easement?

    Your profile shows you in Georgia so I'm guessing these parcels you are looking at are in Georgia? If you are buying the property solely as a place to recreate, then I would not necessarily be deterred by a Conservation Easement if you have large tracts of undeveloped land all around you...

    Recently missed a caribou on a hunt of a lifetime. What caused the miss?
