Certain things sell better when you can walk in, see, touch and feel them. Shoes and clothing are probably good examples of this. what about this situation. I own 2 pairs of Merrel ventilators size 12. I know how they fit and love the shoe. Next pair will be the same model of shoe, maybe a different color. If I can save 20% or more and buy them online, why would I drive the 45 min to one hour to the nearest store which stocks this shoe? I have bought shoes, jeans, socks, underwear, etc on amazon.com. Great return policy but I have yet to return any of these type of items..

and yes I shoot during the season too. Less but still consistently to be sure nothing got bumped. I want to be able to hit what I aim at and know my limits. Respect the animals I hunt too much to accept anything less.

5 to 10 with each rifle or shotgun
100+ or more in the summer with my crossbow and compound. Hunted about 50/50 with each last fall.

eating bologna sandwiches is how you save for hunting land!
I like how Jack Ryan thinks. Cash is king. You have strong negotiating power when you can pay cash.
I sell research equipment to hospitals and universities. The individual units are priced from $150k to $600k. When a customer will be purchasing in cash, they have much more leverage than leasing or financing. Usually end up with a much better deal.

Curious ..... has anyone purchased an automobile on line, and how was that experience? great! Carmax.com Wife found the one she wanted by filtering and sorting. Had it reserved at the Indy location. test drive, checked it out in person. Signed the papers, wrote a check, and drove it home. I do basically drive the same model so she was very familiar with the vehicle features, design, etc...if you did not have this familiarity the risk would be your time and possibly a transfer fee if you had to have the car moved from outside the midwest. I have not paid this and bought 2 cars from them in the past.

amazon prime is awesome! I can get all I need in 2 days to my door. I like to go to Bass Pro and Cabelas. Don't buy much from the brick and mortar stores though... I usually end up buying from home though if I do. I can get 4-15% cash back at cabelas.com through this cashback portal. www.activejunky.com/retailer/cabelas 6% back right now. Discounted gift cards here www.giftcardgranny.com is runnning cabelas gift cards at 14% off list price. www.giftcardgranny.com/buy-gift-cards/bass-pro-shops/ 17% off bass pro gift cards.... I can save 20%+ and order from home...why burn the gas to get to cabelas or bass pro??

I would not even consider a 401k loan to purchase land.

for sure! Mix of 50/50 or 80/20 cover to fields would be perfect Not every acre of ground is equal .... WRP hunts waaaaaay differently than crop, pasture or wooded ground.

suppose it really depends how many people or family members you allow to hunt it. 40 acres for 2 guys who also hunt some other property to rest it sounds about right.
Have thought about buying close to good public land also so I have some options to rest the property and be able to hunt fresh spots which have seen minimal/no pressure that season

Agreed!! I went out yesterday for an evening hunt and after freezing my rear off for two hours, when I got home I shot an arrow to discharge my Mission MXB 320 and at 35 yards it hit where I was aiming. The bow I'm sure was also freezing it's rear off to. It was sighted in 3 years ago in the 90 degree heat of June. I don't think you should have any problems at all with a big temp change and POI.

ended up with the nikon bolt. Great glass and very clear. Perfect fit for my Excalibur Matrix crossbow
No illumination though. Only downside I see to this. Glass will be bright enough to get me right to legal shooting if not longer in the evenings and right at legal shooting light in the mornings

agree with Woody on this one. Looks good, but what if they are out of business in a couple of years?
I would stick with a well known brand. Excalibur is what I hunt with now. I would recommend a Ten Point too if you wanted to go the compound route
Excalibur is my bow of choice though. I can change the strings at home or in the field with no bow press and I can de-cock it in the field after a hunt without shooting it. No others can do this.
