NEVER GIVE UP!!

I had been searching for land to buy in Pa. for the sole purpose of hunting for almost 3 years. I did my homework and experienced a lot of heart breaks. Many times I thought I had finally found it only to find out that someone else already got it before I even got to see it. But last week I got a chance of a life time. Someone was selling 99 acres that bordered a game lands(975 acres). The land included all rights and a couple of very active gas wells that pays thousands of dollars in royalties to the land owner EVERY year. I walked this land the very next day. I was blown away! Not only was it perfect, it had awesome timber on it(oak,cherry,ash). I bid full price and it was accepted 2 days later!  The owner had just inherited it and lived out of state. He had never even saw it. I am still numb. But  I have always lived my life by never giving up. This time it payed off big time!! I won't even tell you what I payed for it but the gas checks alone will pay itself off in just 10 years. I truly believe if you live your life right and play by the rules you will succeed.  NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!    Happy 4th of July to all!

    Can't believe how terrible Erie's weather has been! Fished 3 times (from shore) last week and had to ring out my undershorts TWICE! Forgot to tell you Slick my brother bought a 2 man canoe. Talk to you.

    Congrats on the new hunting ground..
    On a side note.. If you are not experienced in timber management it could behoove you to hire a forester at some point.  He can assess your woodlot and form a forestry plan to manage your woods properly..

    Your right on Bing. I am very lucky that I have less than 10 years till I retire. So time is on my side. I don't really plan on hunting it much or improving it until I am fully retired. I live 3 hours away from it now. When I move back to Erie it will be a lot closer. Gotta tell ya though you guys are great. When I tell most people(co workers) about my hard work paying off they actually get mad at me!!

    Its called scarcity mentality.  Not very becoming.
     
    Again, good for you.  Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

    ...and you don't even have any tires to deal with.    Good for you.

    My reports and advice are for everyone to enjoy, not just the paying customers.
