Choosing The Best Hunting Box Blinds For The Money
This is Huntin’ Land, the podcast for landowners and land hunters. If you like to stay up to date on hunting tactics, land management, land values, and land market dynamics, this is the podcast for you. Hunters are searching for hunting blinds from “cheap” DIY jobs up to high-end hard-sided, scent-proof models with all the bells and whistles. On this episode, Joe and Clint talk with Kevin Kloda of Bruser Farms and MB Ranch King about what you should be looking for in the best hunting box blinds and shooting houses, at all budget levels, before buying.
As a landowner, it is important to know what your land is worth. You may find yourself asking the questions like, “how much is my land worth today,” “how much is my land worth per acre,” “how much is timberland worth,” “what is my farmland worth,” “how much is agricultural land worth,” and other such questions. Many factors go in to determining the value of land and seeking out the wisdom of experts is a great place to find the answers to your questions.
Each week, on the Huntin’ Land Podcast, we will bring in various experts to help provide answers to the important questions landowners have.
