i dont see anything lowering land prices, the majority of land is owned by a small % of big dogs, we common folk just get to buy up the crumbs they dont want

this has been a crazy 5 years or so. I have a little experience, but wanted to compare my notes with others.

2012 bought decent hunting ground in SE Kansas for $1175, sold 12 months later for $1675, last year after improvements new owner selling for $2700.

2010 or so southern Oklahoma seemed the area land about $900-1,000, we bought year ago $2,100, and now our area nothing under $3,000. Talking to our agent if not too far from DFW (we're 1:05 drive) and 35 (we're 10 miles) the prices have continued to skyrocket. 500 acres to south of us is under contract for $3,500.

Hi Rob. Tried to send you a pm but box is full

Man, wish I would have bought that less than $1,000 stuff all up 5+ years ago.

I think farm ranch land has pressure not to go too high as they need to make a profit, but hunting land seems to be upwardly mobile as baby boomers and etc get that little place of their own out of the city.

This is staying on the same subject, just throwing some different players in the mix. I think this is a major reason for the Bundy BLM problem. Those western ranchers can't buy a private ranch to run their cattle, so they want to take ours. What do I mean by "ours", our national BLM and forest land. Most of us will never have the money to buy our own hunting area. However, we can dream that sometime if we have the time and money we can plan our own hunting trip out west. We are all very lucky that we as americans actually own millions and millions of hunting acres out west..............we just have a farther drive. just my 2 cents.
