Yes.
I'll clear it with dad, but there's room for a couple campers and plenty of room for trucks. We can prep a bonfire, shoot trap behind the barn and generally dick off when we're done. Quads welcome too.
Depending on where in Washington county my farm house is less than a hour away and I can house 6 guys

Jesse,
Do you plan to printing ariel maps? I would love to discuss with you the property before via ariel, then view farm, then review ariel after to see how the perception has changed. I think that would be a cool learning experience from guys hunting public land who only have topo maps to guys who are blessed to own some ground.

Sounds like we can get some folks to attend, so I will start a dedicated thread in the next few days that begins the "education" process. Thanks for the interest fellas. My goal is to help shorten some learning curves, encourage folks to give this a try, all while providing a real life, hands on example of what you can do as a small time land manager.
No need to clutter the airwaves with another thread, so I'll just add this stuff in here. Below you'll see a topo showing the relevant topography to the farm and an aerial that gives you a 2+ square mile overview of the neighborhood. I've learned in recent weeks of two bucks shot during gun season that I'd never have thought ventured that farm, and have stayed in communication with two buddies who just moved to the neighborhood. Between all our cameras and local connections, this 2,500K acre area might seem big, but whatever management efforts I make, also get shared in this general area, and beyond. I won't air too much laundry here and will save all the juicy gossip for the actual tour, but this will give you a feel for what the surrounding area looks like and will eventually provide some context for the tour.
I'll add to this map and will develop the aerial as we get closer to the tour. Also, because I have a new baby due on March 9, understand that I could have to cancel this to be with family if needed. However if all goes well, my wife is on board with me doing this and I may even let K tag along for a little while. Right now I am looking at April 1 or 8th to do this. We should have some nice weather by then and it'll feel good to be outside!
If there is still some interest in this, let's make Tax Day (April 15) great again this year and shoot for that weekend. The baby threw off my timelines a little, but we can still get this done.
