At the beginning of the year we purchased 40 acres in east Rains County that is within ten minutes from the Lake Fork Dam, and we are ready to get rolling on our new home place. I knew there was sign of wildlife in the area and the land we bought it ALL WOODS. My first thought was how in the world are we going to get clearing done without spending a fortune hiring people to come out and do the work. Our main goal at this point is to clear an area for a cabin and an easement for power to run about 75 yards off the road, and when I'm done with that I need about another 200 yard swath to where our house will be built. At that point my wife and I decided we needed some equipment to go with the new land. I then started searching for a tractor, but quickly decided a tractor with a regular mower and bucket was not going to tackle what we needed. I then came across varminthunter, Will with LSR enterprises n here, where he gave me advice on buying a skid steer and what equipment I would need to get to working on our land. I then found a very reasonably priced skid steer and soon after contacted Will again about purchasing a brush cutter. He hooked me up with one of his dealerships outside Tyler that has the cutter I am looking for. So as of now I'm waiting until this coming week to go and pick up the next piece to the puzzle of creating our dream place. My family has lots of hard work ahead of us, but the good lord will see us through.
I have a few pictures of the property where we ran across lots of deer and hog tracks and sign. I also set a game cam that was getting lots of activity. I'm ready to get the cabin going on the place so I can spend some time in the massive trees with my bow in hand.
