Spent the last two years with shooting / hunting on the back burner. My wife and I purchased raw property and building it into a home. About an hour out of town in Idaho with just a few years to work yet.
My son purchased 10 acres right next to me. Our nearest neighbors is 1 mile marker back on the road coming up the canyon. Whitetail is a constant view at any given time. This last Sunday we were taking a break after hanging 13 doors and trimming out, about 75% done. I'm calling for final inspection next week.
A herd of elk were in and out of timber about 800 yds away most of afternoon bedded down and feeding.
So here we are with abut 15 elk, well over a dozen deer from 50yds to xx feeding and bedded down, again about a dozen turkeys in the yard with a few toms all puffed up strutting their stuff.
Now to top it off - a bear shows it's self across the canyon rolling rocks on the small green open hill side. Only thing left were .. cats/lions. Well we had one growling / screaming about 300 yds from the house a couple weeks ago. It wasn't going to let the coyotes get it's fresh kill of two does.
Yep this is the Right place to retire.
