Location, Location, Location -- What to Pay?

Walked the property today.  Will be perfect for an apiary.

A nice surprise was finding some Horehound.

Man, is it rough, though.  Jumped five wild turkeys!  There were several burrows (armadillo/porcupine/skunk).  Dead falls everywhere and several dead trees after five years of drought.  Gate needs a lock.  Wondering how I'll get through the waist high weeds in the spring.  Will need to suppress growth around the hives.

Open to suggestions.

Ask the owner if he has a tractor and bushhog. Maybe you can get him to keep the path you need open with it.
He probably keeps fire breaks and certain paths clear and driving down the path you need would not bee much to do while he is out there.

You might have already said. How many acres? Any bobwhite quail?

He has a ten acre tract on the bend of Deep Creek that is accessible.  I'm thinking of two to five acres.  Have not seen any quail but there probably are some.

I saw deer beds.

We use to have some fine quail hunting here in Mississippi. Not anymore. I sure would like to go with a good pointer or setterr and point up a few coveys.. What a good breakfast they make along with eggs, bacon, boiled strawberries, homemade biscuits, fresh churned butter, sweet milk gravy, honey, etc...  Yum

Thanks, Jim.

He lives in Austin.

This morning I see a mondo weed eater in my future or a shabby old riding mower.

There are other options also, I don?t know if you have ever handled a Joe blade  J/K. 
However,  I would not recommend it unless you are intending to get plenty exercise. Lol 😂.

No, but I've used those serrated double-edged weed cutters!  Fun, fun, fun, eh?

+1 - Jim beat me to it. Tractor with bushhog is what I use. Those small riding mowers get stuck in tall weeds really quick. Ask me how I know  . Took me a few yrs of saving, but it was a good day when I brought home the big(er) tractor - life's a lot easier now.

Also - a chainsaw is handy for those deadfalls. And a Weedwacker for close work. Husqvarna is my preferred brand-of-choice - can't stand tools that won't fire up when I need them.

... and it's all definitely worth the investment! (Imho)

Thanks, Cool,

I think you're right.  My yard toys are not going to work for this project.
