Read on for essential tips that have helped numerous hunters find the hunting getaway of their dreams. We'll cover the bare essentials, including siting, land use, and other key factors.

How to Identify the Best Hunting Land

Finding your dream hunting property is a lot like hunting itself - it takes research, knowledge, time, and effort.

The main question is, how does a successful real estate transaction overlap with effective long-term hunting? Take these primary considerations to heart when scouting your own hunting property:

• Signs of Wildlife. Nothing beats an area already occupied by the game you're interested in. In fact, it's the #1 consideration all else depends on.
• You'll need enough acreage to maneuver, both on foot and with any off-road transportation. Assuming the land meets the other requisites on this list, more acreage improves the chances of ongoing animal activity.
• Woods and Water. Hunting land should be near the bare essentials, especially water and shelter. Hunting land requires proximity to trees, habitat, cover, and water, preferably within the property's boundaries.
• Open Areas. It is important that the land you are considering has at least several open areas that can be converted into food plots for the wildlife. Creating and maintaining food plots is not only fun, but it is essential to attracting wildlife.
• Convenient Places for Hunting Blinds. No matter how convenient the location is, the property’s wind patterns and strategic access to hunting blinds should be considered to increase your odds of successful hunting on your property.
• Access Points. A good interior road or trail system is a very important consideration in locating your hunting property. Always consider how easily you can access your favorite site and return carrying more weight than you came in with.
• Safe shooting requires knowing your surroundings like the back of your hand. If your new neighbors are also shooting and hunting enthusiasts, you can collaborate with them to improve not only your new property, but theirs as well.
• Location and Convenience. You'll also need to ensure your very own hunting grounds are a reasonable distance from your home. If your property is to far away from where your live and work, your new property be more difficult to maintain and enjoy

Further, it's best to know beforehand whether there are legal restrictions on hunting for any given property. That also goes for any hunting-related business plans you might have.

Ultimately, the best advice will only come from a fellow hunting and wilderness enthusiast already familiar with the terrain and the local real estate market.
