Looking for Ideas on Hunting Property

Alpine

My wife and I are kicking around the idea of buying several hundred acres. We are thinking Idaho. Anyone have any ideas on an area that has good hunting, pine trees, year round streams with trout?
We are looking for 200 - 2000 acres, in the northwest. Deer, Elk, Turkey, waterfowl would be a must.

Try Bonners Ferry. Toolbabe has family there. It is what you are looking for. But watch out for the heat sometimes it gets up into the 70's there.

Thank you, Tools1. We are leaving friday, and will spend a week looking at some prospects. I will let you know what I find.
Your nick and my hobby sound about the same.

Nowhere in the vicinity of Idaho but buy some land here in Alabama.We have very good game animals from deer,turky,wild hogs even cougars and black bear and some of the best fishing around in lakes and the gulf.Substitute the trout for Bass and Catfish and you are set.Tons of Pine trees year round descent weather open views on guns good people great BBQ very nice female scenery low cost of living cheap land and just the right mix of manners.How can you go wrong.God I love Bama.

Thank you E. Williams. But Chiggers, No Seeums, and humidity rule out that area. My dad is from Franklin, Arkansas.

I would try to find some land that connects to public land or nat. forest. I recently bought some land here in NM that backs up to BLM land it makes my 200 acres seem like 100,000. I can literally walk for days without seeing another person. Good luck.........lazy

That sounds like a great idea. However if BLM decides they want your land to add to theirs, what is your recourse? Also can they stand in the way of blocking building permits if you want to build a house on the property?

Unless its part of a highway project or military reservation exspansion I very much doubt that would happen, even if it did you would probably get more than you paid for it. If anything it would make it a better investment in the long run.
