I don’t want to jinx anything yet, but I may have come up with a plan down here.  I’ve changed my original idea around a little, applied a little bit of common sense and logic, and am now looking at buying two pieces of land.  Neither section is particularly large, but one of them is something of an investment opportunity.  Should it pay off (and I think it will), I’ll be in a position after a couple of years to get myself a much more substantial hunting property.  We shall see.

Oh, and in the meantime, both properties are loaded with whitetail, axis, hogs, and turkeys.  There will be plenty of hunting.

The axis buck in the picture here, by the way, is obviously not on one of those properties.  He’s safe, behind a high fence.  He knows he’s safe, because he stood there and posed for me like that while I dug the camera out from under the seat, got it turned on, and then took his photo.  Complacent sucker… look at that grin on his face.

One other thing, as I’m trying to spend some time learning more about the folks, the issues, and the local way of life… be careful when you tell a meat cutter you want a nice, big ribeye for dinner.  You’ll get something that looks like this!

That’s well over a pound of dead cow right there.  No bones.

I know, I almost never buy beef anymore, but I haven’t had a chance to go out and shoot camp meat on this trip.  I was talking earlier in the day to someone about grilling steaks, and the idea just got my mouth to watering.  When I popped by the grocery store and the meat cutter was back there doing his thing, I couldn’t resist.

More to come…
