Land for Sale

Sometimes trying to do things yourself can lead to huge mistakes. In most cases you have one chance to do it right.

The spirit and intent of the parties in a sale are embodied by the terms of the written agreement.

Make sure you cover all contingencies in your written agreements. Don’t assume anything!Recently received a call from a prospective buyer. Then an emailed offer form that obviously came from an office supply store or internet site.

Please take care if you think you can circumvent a process by trying to do it yourself. The forms that might be available lack in the necessary detail to enable one to buy land, especially when option clauses are part of the sales agreement.

A professional broker or agent serves many purposes but critical clauses when buying timberland and other property specific issues are often not found in simple forms.

Like selling timber, land purchases are infrequently done. Sometimes we think we are smarter than we really are so be very careful with generic forms that may lead you to an agreement that you will regret.

Trust your professional land sale experts. Many sellers or buyers are way out of their league but just don’t know it.

Sometimes special things happen when setting up a timber sale. Family members mentioned that a brave son of the South was buried on their land. The location was not specifically known but an old, crude map showed the approximate location.
There was an old memorial there but it was desecrated by vandals years ago.
We found the special site of the unknown warrior. We flagged a square boundary around the sacred site, gps’ed the corners of the reserved area and the grave site . Now this hero and unknown soldier will never be lost again.
As SCV members Tyler and I are honored.
Due to circumstances of privacy no more details of where it is will be disclosed. Hoping that the site will be protected in perpetuity. I know the family will be proud of the discovery and we will help them keep this site safe and secure in memory of a hero. ... See MoreSee Less

At my age no football game is more important than a day spent in the woods with my Grandson!One of our sanctuary fields. Grass still needs rain and less hog disturbance.

Weather warm and windy so hunting was not great. Grandson and I all alone and in serious training mode. We spent time learning how to build a range card and how to use the clock method to identify targets for in stand communication. Range and distance not a big deal in this small field but it was perfect for shooting school purposes.

Explaining how spook hunting( Sitting in a stand) is 98% observation and 2% executing an effective shot.

Drawing a dirt map to explain how old fashioned deer drives were set up and implemented. Most young ones these days think a deer drive is the time we took to get to the woods in my truck to go deer hunting.

Most of us old, grizzled woods warriors grew up hunting that way and it must never go away. It is part of hunting culture in many places and deserves to remain.

School also covered sun position at different times of the day as a means to indicate cardinal direction. Constantly prompting the student on which way the wind is blowing makes them award of direction and points out flaws in our present hunting setup or their current perception and awareness of the setup.

Decided to miss the Bama- Auburn game to spend time where it really counts. Glad we did now given the way it turned out. Congrats to Auburn for a special win!

Timber cruising on a cold day before gun season starts. Getting it done before the woods are full of hunters.
Remember that some folks make a living in the woods! For us foresters it is bear bell time in some places. Let the hunting groups know when you will be on the property if you can.
Safety first! ... See MoreSee Less

Grandson following his Father to take a few pine plantation plots. Father looking at the timber. Grandson hoping to find Yeti tracks!
Grandfather dragging behind taking the pictures thinking of when Father was following him at this age. Felt something in my eye after I looked at the picture at home thinking of the circle of life.
