What Makes Hunting Land Great For Hunting

There are several factors to be considered when purchasing South Carolina Hunting Land. The first thing to consider is price. I know that this sounds obvious. Hunting land with a lower price per acre may not be as “ready” to hunt. When you find a lower priced property think of the work you must put in. Bulldozer work is one possibility; if you can’t ride a four wheeler on the land clearing can cost around $50-$150 per hour for a 40 acre tract. Another thing to think about is boundary clearing. A 40 acre property with no stumps to grub can cost a few thousand for boundary clearing. 

What property features are good for hunting? Look for properties with hunting features such as good border fencing, well established deer and turkey plots, creek/river frontage, gates, deer stands, types of deer stands, timber, and hardwoods.  Gates, fencing, and deer stands are all things that can be added later. Basic land features such as water frontage and types of vegetation are key in searching for hunting land. Water frontage is going to make the property more expensive per acre; however, it is not only going to make the land more beautiful but supply a water source that will attract a variety of wildlife. Hardwoods provide a natural food source for wildlife (i.e. acorns). Timber will provide value in today’s market and eventually, a return on investment. If your property has a small creek you may consider the possibility of creating a pond in the future to increase wildlife traffic.
