For you guys living in those states, how much per acre in the "hunting/fishing" areas? Say I want 50 acres, nothing built, no utilities to it, but I want it to be huntable land, possibly a small river or creek flowing through it. How much per acre?

I thought about calling them myself...oh well, gone now. I imagine that went for under 100k
shoot, there was a hunting cabin for sale on 25 acres on the nothern end of lake chelan here in washington. This is a ponderosa type area with tall trees rolling hills and a creek bordered by blm I never saw how much it was and it is gone already. that place is cool. cannot get there by car, must use a boat to travel the 10-15 miles up the lake (full of huge fish) to the country crawling with mule deer and free run cattle (hey ITSHTF cattle are fair game in my book)

In California, for under 100k, you can't even get a TOUR of property like that.

Too many mormons there.

Mormons are good folks...I wouldn't mind having them as neighbors.[;)]
We've got a fair share of them in these parts as well.

Don't get me wrong, being mormon, I of course like to be close to other mormons. Utah mormons are a whole different breed though. They think that they are the most faithful or something because they live in Utah. I had a mission companion try to tell me that the mormons settled in Utah because it was the most beautiful state. Umm... NOT WHEN THEY GOT THERE! As far as starting a new farming life there, it seemed impossible.

Sorry but Utah is a four letter word, if you are buying land just to hunt you don't do it in Utah
have you looked at the big game numbers in Utah compare to the other states in the OP... Utah allows far to many hunters and has far too few game animals to support such hunter numbers.
If I had money to spend I would spend it in Montana

It will make you happy.

I has never ocurred to me to buy 50 acres to hunt on. Idaho has hundred of thousands of acres of public lands and as such it would be hard to find a patch for sale. The land that is for sale, mostly in N. Idaho, is completely saturated with transplants and a lot of them don't like the idea of guns and such. I'd suggest you go back to your roots, Utah is still a wide open place and quite conservative politically.

In another post, I said that there is probably nothing you could say that would offend me. I stand corrected.
Just kidding. Utah is not my roots though.
I am not so much looking for a place to just go to hunt, but more for a place to build my "Armageddon House" that also has property to hunt and fish to increase the food supply. Of course, I would gladly allow others to hunt the property until everything is built. I would probably even rent out rooms in the Armageddon house like a hunting lodge.
Man, really sorry about that, if I would have known earlier.....
Utah is your best bet. Maybe even Idaho, ECC can always use another neighbor![;)]
Montana is fresh out of land. We sold out early last week.

How about for those of us that are Montana natives that are currently stuck somewhere else, but are looking for some land to come home to?

Just grab a piece for me and back date then. Thanks.
ECC, what does your backyard look like?

I said I don't/wouldn't mind having Mormons as neighbors...NOT that I wanted a new one![;)]
We are all filled up too, but quite to the contrary of what Clouder said, there's not hardly any private land available up here in N. Idaho. You'd have to go to the southern part of the state for that![;)][}:)][:)]

Clouder said the place is saturated. Look it up in your Websters, it comes after sap.

Plan on $2500-5000/acre, ballpark.
If it's got water on it, prepare to pay more. Water rights are more valuable than gold out here.

Is that correct? Or did you miss a ZERO? In California, normal property is 50K+. Prime property is 100K+.

Oh boy! Pa there goes the neighborhood[:D]
Second, in much of the big game country of the states you mention, much of the affordable acreage is on a very steep mountain side.
