Beautiful property Joe. A few suggestions. As an owner of a 97 acre farm, my first piece of advice is to know and mark your property lines. Well-known property lines make for good neighbors. If you have to hire a surveyor to get those lines, it is worth the money. Is any of your land in preservation? You could cut your property tax bill if you could put some land in agricultural or conservation preservation. People think a large hunk of land is like a state park. You'd be surprised how many folks have driven ATVs, snowmobiles, and even horses on my property without asking any kind of permission. I've had people ride ATVs over the crops just after they were planted! Let it be known that your land is private property, not a state park. Post no trespassing signs. It looks like you could really benefit from a Bush Hog type of mower. It could easily take care of all that brush. Finally, when you have a large piece of land, you have to think big. Don't buy small pieces of equipment, "toys" as I call them. You need horsepower and versatility. You can't maintain that much land with the same pieces of equipment that someone from the suburbs would buy. A skid steer (with forks and bucket), backhoe, 40+HP tractor and bush hog-type mower are absolute must-haves. Oh, as well as a whole-house generator. I'm excited for you and Melissa! You have a lot to look forward to!
You should put you a trail cam on your stand and see just what all is back in there looks like the wolf’s have gotten your deer at the tent on the run beautiful property Joe
I have a feeling Joe is going to be finding people hunting his land. No way all those stands are there still without people still hunting there. And looks like a beautiful to hunt. Awesome property Joe. Love the new house. 🔥👍
johnroosterrod65@gmail.com Yes, I agree with BigWinHunter, There were people from the 'outside' that were deer hunting on your new land. Even though they had deer stands, it's now yours! Then there is a chance that wounded deer will travel to your property once they were hit on another piece of land. I believe they can go on your property to retrieve the deer. I guess it's one of the things that come with owning such a great place! Semper Fidelis
I would imagine there is an abundance of diamond willow on the property too. Good for furniture and stuff. I make lamps, candle holders, and canes from what I can find on my land. Since I need a cane to walk, it got my started making and selling them. But mostly just giving them away to those that need them. The creation is where I get the most enjoyment anyway. Kinda like you with your beautiful furniture.
Awesome spread, Joe! Don't brush hog or cut all that brushy stuff where the pastures were! That is making the deer feel safe. It's full of weeds and the kind of newer growth they can eat. If you shave the land too much, the deer won't stick around!
Hi Joe, Great place. I didn't know the new house was actually more of a homestead. lol. I know you get a lot of "you should do..." I'm not going to say that. This is what I would do...;)...mow, disc, clear whatever you want to call it, the grassy areas. I would leave the brush. It makes excellent habitat for the deer along the food plots...if that were in my plans. :) It will be fun watching upcoming videos of the house and the projects/improvements to come. Great video as always.
Very nice, great property you found for the two of you to enjoy and with all the improvement I'm sure you are planning us followers of your channel will get many hours of enjoyment too. as always thanks for sharing.
Joe that is some amazing property!! Be nice to see what you do with all that land. Love the antique furniture as well, it is really beautiful. Good luck next week up at the tent! Be safe, have fun and get a big deer! Juddie - J & J TOA
I would plant lots of different things, for all year round. deer are browsers and like a variety, I would plant thornless raspberry and strawberry and lispodeza some tomothy and clover apple trees and pear trees and hazel and and just when a deer is enjoying dinner ka boom a slug to the heart and down it topples and into the pot for a stew . nice little lot though and great natural water feature , I would run trenches around the place see if maybe can create a ribbon lake
Joe you should put a ad for free building and you might be surprised the people that will come take care of the old trailer for you and love your property it's flat all the way love it great investment for you and your family
Wow that is just so nice Joe. That's a lot bigger than I thought lol. I'm glad you've decided to make it a type of refuge for the deer to come and hang out and you guys enjoy, I can see sitting at the dinner table looking out the window at the wildlife coming up into the yard, I'm really surprised there not a lot of Grouse there also with the tember and fields you have and water source it's like all the elements are there, water, cover, and food. That warm farmhouse appealing look with everything in the background is just awesome. You guys are so lucky to have come across such a beautiful place. I like the plans you have in store for future development. Lol if you ever need a hired hand to come work I'm really cheap haha. Anyway awesome update and now off to deer camp lol or The Tent. Good luck and stay safe to all of you. Hi Melissa great place you all have there, can't wait to see your added touches. Ok bye lol.
This is similar country where I grew up. More conifer though. This looks like such a productive place. You can take it in many directions my friend.A way to make a few bucks is to repair the fence and get revenue by cow/calf pairs to graze. They will do all that brushing for you in short time. Thanks so much for showing us all this today. I think you have a real gem there fella !
You should invest in one of those bush mowers so you can keep all the overgrowth down and make it easier for you to get around or set up things for possible animals.
Love that land....you have an awesome property ...Wow looks like lots of deer too.....Iam sure your going to really make it awesome when your done with it.....Great Buy..........T.Gunz..........
That property looks really nice and it's great that you are gonna let the deer come on your land to eat and graze , and the furniture Melissa bought is just gorgeous, see you at the tent video
Ask your local fire department and see if they would set the that old house on fire and use it for training. That is what is done up here in Ontario. The firefighters love them for training as they are not typical. Worth a shot!
barfass I think he would have to strip the roofing/pull out a lot of the non-environmentally friendly materials.. prob wouldn't be worth it. I feel like a weekend with a rented excavator would make light work of it and youd be able to get other jobs done with the equipment as well
Yep we did that at every department I was with over the years. Serves 2 purposes, 1) great training for new or unseasoned fire personnel plus its controlled and 2) saves the woods if it were to catch and by the time the fire department gets there sparks, etc. would, could start grass and leaves on fire and spread big time even to other structures. Fire can spread much faster than many people believe. Barca’s that was actually an awesome suggestion and saves a lot of time having to tear it down and then disposing of the wood, etc. that is unless there is plans for the wood and other stuff. Great suggestion and worthy of the ‘Round 2 It Award”!
@@BS0821 - Yes, you would have to do all of that, siding, etc. The weekend with a backhoe would be a lot more fun for Joe, than prepping that house to be burnt! haha.. and would make for a great video.
Oh the possibilities, man talk about finding and buying a superb place. You can buy a bushhog that is made to back up into brush and small trees to cut up. Need a little bigger tractor to run attachments. Heck you could dig out put pond in for cattle or deer in low lying area. Congratulations on that find!
You should think about getting some goats in the spring. They'll clean out a lot of the underbrush and they make good snack sticks when butchered out. They cleaned my Ohio property pretty good. Now I get a couple every spring to make into slimjims in the fall.
Hey Joe...you might consider posting private property signs as you may still have hunters coming on to what had been unoccupied land. Hate to have anything damaged by stray bullets. Have a nice day☺✌
Heck, you ought to just chuck your property up north, Joe. This property has that one beat by a mile, at least as far as deer hunting goes. Heck, you could prop your feet up on the porch rail and take as many as you feel like right there!
Hi mate you have really got a good property Joe. Good luck to you and your lady. Going to enjoy your videos improving the land and getting it all sorted. All the best Dave from England UK
Great looking Tract of Land Joe. Looking forward to seeing you remodel and of course any and all deer activities, any signs of turkey's, bear or anything else.
Need some 50lb salt blocks set out... We have one out back and the deer lick it about every day.... Any farm supply store will have them, about 5$ each.....
Hey Joe you should put a game camera on the deer trail behind the house, I bet you have some big bucks on your property, they probably are coming threw at night as well. Take care
That's a sweet looking property Joe! Looks like you should do some hunting there. Lol ! I know you like hunting up at tent! That's were I'd be hunting too! I love your spot you have there up at the tent. Looks like it be a great spot to sit. Good luck hunting to ya this season. So from akeley mn. To you Joe Be safe and take care. Look forward to your hunting video!
Am getting a pretty good idea of your property, I am thinking you might even be able to make some birch beer if you be a beer drinker. Home brewing is better than store bought. Thanks for the tour and enjoying the sharing.
I have been watching for about two years and love it,why I can’t figure that out but I do enjoy it. I have one question that I haven’t heard anyone ask you about. Poison Ivy!! As much as you clear trails and are always out in the field how are you not covered in poison ivy?
This is some awesome deer trails,be even greater looking with some snow on it,i can see you cutting this down for next years deer season.Joe.hope you put up some safey zone signs up.nice land,happy for you all.Be Safe
Yeah deer are great....till they eat everything you plant. They love fruit trees...gardens both veggies and flowers. Berry bushes. Pretty much everything. We have 3.2 acres in southern oregon. We have been here 26 years...and have been fighting deer and elk the whole time. Don't get me started on the bears, moles, skunks, mice, flies......
Lots of potential there Joe. I'd run a brush hog over that grass area. Plant a food plot. Hinge cut some trees in a few spots like a tornado zone for extra cover. When you have time of course. lol.
Joe very cool nice piece of land.sounds like to our going need to buy a brush hog or rent one. Other have commentd people may hunt it so you'll have to whatch that.
second time around for me. Whatakool video Joe. I enjoyed going BACK 3 years. thanks!
What a great chunk of property and old farmhouse, Joe. You and Melissa picked an excellent homestead.
Rewatching when you guys first bought the property. Boy, lots of changes Joe!
Thanks for the tour. Nice place!

Good neighbors make good neighbors..people seem to forget that seem to forget that.my neighbors saved our property from a fire.
Joe, you need a 4 wheeler, property that's set for a while needs to be patrolled and checked out!
You should put you a trail cam on your stand and see just what all is back in there looks like the wolf’s have gotten your deer at the tent on the run beautiful property Joe
I'm proud of you and melissa on all the work you guys have put into that property in the last 2 years I enjoy watching Joe's projects
Nice property,thank you for shareing,would be great too have that area all mowed.🇨🇮🙋♀️🍀👍👍
If you watch more videos you will see it all get mowed.
Wow this is 100 times better than I thought. That’s a lot of land. Heck yeah man! We still hope to find something in rural upstate.
I have a feeling Joe is going to be finding people hunting his land. No way all those stands are there still without people still hunting there. And looks like a beautiful to hunt. Awesome property Joe. Love the new house. 🔥👍

Yo what's up bigwinhunter guess you enjoy the tent videos to.
john roos Not in WV, you have to get permission from the land owner to retrieve your wounded deer. I don’t know about MN.
Agree; lots of no trespassing signs posted!
The people that lived there before left those stands. They weren't portable, what would they do with them if they tore them down?
I would imagine there is an abundance of diamond willow on the property too. Good for furniture and stuff. I make lamps, candle holders, and canes from what I can find on my land. Since I need a cane to walk, it got my started making and selling them. But mostly just giving them away to those that need them. The creation is where I get the most enjoyment anyway. Kinda like you with your beautiful furniture.
It looks like you have found your spot. Fantastic place Joe and plenty to shape how you want it.
What a beautiful property I can't believe with all that deer Highway your not going to hunt it.. can't wait to see more videos on this place
I don't know what kind of condition that old trailer is in but having a place for the kids to stay when they come to visit would be real nice. 💜🌞🌵
Awesome spread, Joe! Don't brush hog or cut all that brushy stuff where the pastures were! That is making the deer feel safe. It's full of weeds and the kind of newer growth they can eat. If you shave the land too much, the deer won't stick around!
You have made so much progress, its amazing!
Get your self one of those trophy rocks for those bucks helps there horns and for fawn growth they are great !!!!!
Killer piece of property, can't wait to see what you guys do with everything in the future.
Joe just found this video you have done a lot of work on this property you and Melissa have the place looking good.
Very nice dining set.
Cant wait to see all the improvement you and Melissa do with the place. Don't forget to take us all along with you. Nice property Joe and Melissa !!

Lo sigo desde qué compró la casa🏡
Joe & Melissa, from my "view" you've bought wisely. What a kingdom! I'm very impressed.
Beautiful property
Joe- An excellent choice of your purchase! What a hidden blessing too! Excited for you all! (And us too your followers!) :-)
Beautiful property, and Melissa’s dresser is gorgeous!
Beautiful property Joe. You and Melissa are so blessed to be able to have this place.
Love your new property -- challenging to reclaim the fields but I am sure you can do it. Looking forward to videos of the process.

Good Morning Joe. Hope you have a great weekend at the tent. Keep the videos coming!

Very Beautiful Property to Keep you Busy and Happy !🐾🐾💗
That property looks really nice and it's great that you are gonna let the deer come on your land to eat and graze , and the furniture Melissa bought is just gorgeous, see you at the tent video
Looks like you would have 10 times more luck hunting there than the tent. Nice place!
Very beautiful piece of land Joe, and Melissa.. if u see a nice 10 or 12 point out there, i bet u will be tempted to harvest it!
Great looking place! Lot of potential!
Thank you very much for showing us around Joe.
So glad your Joe and Zack is back up! Lovely property. Love the antiques, good job Melissa!
What a great property. If you have clover close by this would be a great place for Melissa to get some more bee hives going.

Oh wow! A Mother in law cabin! (Green building) the antiques are beautiful! I see your Christmas tree behind the 5th Wheel!
Wow what a great property!...looking forward to seeing as you and Melissa turn it into your home...thanks for sharing great video!

Definitely picked the best house and property. Can't wait for the clearing of the brush video. Awesome video thx!!
Jesus ....
Huge piece of land !!!!
Congrats again on the purchase
I've recently discovered just how BIG 40 acres is. I'm looking into 40 acres in Arizona and I wore my old butt out walking it. SO much to see.
Heck, you ought to just chuck your property up north, Joe. This property has that one beat by a mile, at least as far as deer hunting goes. Heck, you could prop your feet up on the porch rail and take as many as you feel like right there!
Nice property. That M tractor will take care of all your needs in the field. I was born & raised on one. Hope to see a video on the M. 👍👍

TFS. Im glad to hear about your new video, Northern Seclusion.
Looking forward to future videos.
Well if you don't get a deer at the tent, you have a good place to hunt. With melisas blessing of course.
That last deer stand you showed is my kinda spot. I would think the deer would funnel through those trees pretty relaxed. Nice property Joe!
joe you need a drone :-)

Recycle the vinyl siding for the coop or other out buildings. Nice property.
I have been watching for about two years and love it,why I can’t figure that out but I do enjoy it. I have one question that I haven’t heard anyone ask you about. Poison Ivy!! As much as you clear trails and are always out in the field how are you not covered in poison ivy?
Cool place thanks for sharing
Hello from McGregor MN. Good luck hunting this weekend Joe. Can't wait to get out there bright and early.
Thanks joe for the tour have a great weekend
Joe you can plant deer plots with wheat rye and peas and clover what a great place to feed them!
WOW Awesome property Joe
This is some awesome deer trails,be even greater looking with some snow on it,i can see you cutting this down for next years deer season.Joe.hope you put up some safey zone signs up.nice land,happy for you all.Be Safe
The deer can't read the Safety Zone signs.
@@johnshoureas1629 John,i mean the safe zone signs are for the deer to stay inside the safe zone signs,so they should,nt be shot at.Heee
Good stuff mate.... glad it’s all coming together for you both..much love to your family’s....😎👍🇦🇺
I love love the antique furniture!
what a cool property! You'll always be finding something new and cool.
Yeah deer are great....till they eat everything you plant. They love fruit trees...gardens both veggies and flowers. Berry bushes. Pretty much everything. We have 3.2 acres in southern oregon. We have been here 26 years...and have been fighting deer and elk the whole time. Don't get me started on the bears, moles, skunks, mice, flies......
Lots of potential there Joe. I'd run a brush hog over that grass area. Plant a food plot. Hinge cut some trees in a few spots like a tornado zone for extra cover. When you have time of course. lol.
I could see a pasture and cows (may help on taxes to designate it as a farm). Can you dig a small pond on those low lying areas? Thanks for sharing!
Nice place to do a deer food plot in front of thay stand... could plant some clover/brassica/turnips or whatever you choose
Joe very cool nice piece of land.sounds like to our going need to buy a brush hog or rent one. Other have commentd people may hunt it so you'll have to whatch that.
Very nice property..
