I'm trapped in the city so I like to get away to country as well. During hunting season I'm usually at my place every weekend. Other than that I'm not out there very often anymore unless I'm doing work there to prepare for deer season or turkey season. I used to go camping out there & fishing often, but not so much anymore. I bought a bass boat a few years ago so now my passion is bass fishing. I try to get out bass fishing every weekend until it gets cold. Once it gets cold, I'm back in hunting mode & at the farm every weekend.That sounds really nice man ! You are fortunate to have that at your disposal. My Dad has a little vacant piece , its only 20 acres , about 30 minutes from my house that we use for camping and having pig roasts , target shooting ECT and I feel fortunate to have that. I'm in the middle of the yuppyfied suburbs , so I appreciate the shit out of the open space.
How often are you able to get to your place? I think 2 hours is about the outer limit of where I'd like to be , ideally about 90 minutes. Do you find the drive a major obstacle to using it as much as you'd like?

A decent example of the something in the area I'm zeroed in on , though having decent water on it is a requirement for me.
My place is actually 1 hour & 40 minutes away so i don't consider it that long of a drive. Could be a lot longer. But yeah 2 hours is about as far as I'd want my place to be from me. The way I see it is if I hunt Sunday evening, i want to make it home at a decent time so i can wake up early Monday morning.
That place you'd be interested in looks really nice. Definitely more scenic than my spot. Looks like a nice area. My place is actually for sale right now & pray to god it doesn't sell. My dad & uncle want the money & there's nothing I can do about it. My grandpa bought the place in 1970 & he told them to never sell it.
