My dad and his family lived and farmed this tract of land until 1959. My grandfather practically fell over dead and it was too much for my 15 year old dad and his mom to take care of. They sold the land and moved to town. It's been vacant ever since and the house was torn down 20 years ago. The property has changed hands several times and has been owned by a local church wanting to relocate there for the past 10 or so years. This church is so small that I can never find anyone there to ask to hunt the property. Neither do they have a phone number nor do I know anyone who attends the church.
The church is just a few blocks out of my way when leaving work. Last night I went by there and caught the pastor there. We chatted for a minute, I forgot to mention that my uncle pastured that church 60 years ago. I told him who I was, who my uncle was and my history of that property and asked if I could hunt it. He not only said yes but was thrilled for me to connect to family property since I'm the last living relative with the family last name.
This afternoon I'm going by there for my first hunt. I'm over the moon excited. I'd love to find an old family relic or something. Pray for success!!

thats a whole other story . Well ,a charter school got some of the pasture , and a church got the house . I went to the charter school to see if I could hunt the field , boy they got greedy real quick . I didn't even ask the church as that property was grown up pretty bad . Maybe I'll get another chance later on .
