If you won….

Kentucky real estate would be purchased as would a retreat in the Smokies. Locally, probably buy a solid piece or two if the right ones popped up. As I age, some of these dreams seem less desirable. I can only be so many places at a time. Want to spend time with kids and grandkids (2 months out for our first one). I think I'd rather spend it on experiences rather than liabilities to take care of. Who has time to manage properties in multiple states? Even if money isn't the issue, logistics is. I guess some of my TOO brethren might get to play and manage them if I buy out of state. 🤔
 
Yeah Jessie I can see that. Personally only being able to hunt one buck a year really sucks ass. So you get lucky and kill your buck opener of bow season….what now? Kill or not I’m about the chase, adventure, hunting different types of terrain. Hunt a giant here and there, kill or not. Then other properties and states offer more, turkeys, ducks, pheasants or whatever you enjoy. No wrong answers in any post here.

Growing up I always dreamed of a 640 w cabin and stocked pond w plenty of game. I will never see that. Dreaming one day when I’m old can wake up from the cabin and tell my boys and their kids good luck and shoot straight. Hell I’m lucky and fortunate to have what I have. But if we dreaming we won the lottery, I want it all to make the most memories as possible. Think I’ve done great so far and I’m on the back side of the ridge in life. Been that hermit all my life until about 15 years ago when I started branching out. Gonna do my lifelong dream bucket list this year….yukon moose. Tomorrow is not another day when you get in your 50’s, it’s a day less.

Happiness comes from what you enjoy. Gods creations have been my blessings, like besides my family, friends and my dogs.
