re: South America, North America, and Middle East are sketchy. Orange Beach Gonna be expensive
Posted by 14caratgoldjones on 2/28/26 at 9:14 pm to greygoose
If you don’t have a boat, OBA would probably get boring in 3-4 days. Access to a boat is the ultimate game changer.
I can be at the house in Orange Beach in 3 hours.
Wake up early and do some of the best Snapper/ bottom fishing around. Troll for Maui, King, Spanish, Cobia, etc. Fill the cooler and head home at noon.
Might just hit the piers on the bay for Trout/Reds/Flounder and do no offshore fishing if it’s rough. May get the cast net out and catch fresh mullet and call it a win.
Clean the fish, shower and nap during the hottest part of the day. Get back on the boat mid afternoon and head to Tacky Jacks, Tiki Bar, Sunset Grill, Pirates Cove, Yacht Club, wherever, and have some cocktails. . Creep back to the house late evening/night and sit on the dock, fire up the grease or griddle, and eat like Kings.
Bait the crab trap and catch mess for a boil. Get the spot light and gig flounder on the sandbars at night.
I haven’t eaten out in years down there. Couldn’t tell you what restaurants are where, and been going down there 50 years.
Might catch a good concert at the Wharf on any given weekend. The only time I get in a car is to go to Publix to stock up on necessities or head back home. Put the boat on the lift and call it a week.
My vehicle sits in the driveway 95% of the time. This is the only way to do the beach. Usually runs me and my family of four less than $1,500 for 4-6 days. Leave $150 for the maid to clean up the house and roll out. Sunburnt and back home in 3 hours with a pile of good seafood that last for a months. Call it what you want, I love it down there. Therapy.

Good for him! I probably would have done the same thing at 86. Not 46 though.
Legit question. I wonder how many people on here would turn down 15 million knowing it would be for a Data Center?
I’m thinking 0%.

He’ll be ok. When he’s constantly pursued like a runaway slave in the suburbs, tell him to note his Spanish slave owning and slave trading ancestors. The cops will probably give him a personal escort through the neighborhood. In her mind at least.
I laugh every time I watch this video of the unveiling of her Spanish Slave holder decent. HA!!!

re: Never Hunted Before, But Want to Take My Son

All good responses above, but don’t put the cart ahead of the horse.
Sounds like you might be really green to hunting and possibly guns in general. If that’s the case, start with a .22 rifle (cheap and so is the ammo). Work on gun safety first, then out how to shoot and handle a gun where it’s second nature. Go to the woods, set up some cans and practice. Shooting targets can be a lot of fun. Your son will love it!
Once you’re comfortable with the .22, step it up to 410 shot gun, maybe a 20 gauge, and shoot targets. Then go to moving targets such as clays, traps. Find the local range if you have nowhere to go. Once you get proficient, then you’re ready to hunt game in the woods.
Squirrels are a good choice and so are pigs, which you can hunt year round. You’d be doing Mother Nature justice by helping to remove invasive pigs. Slowly transition into deer, turkey, dove, etc.
If you’re already proficient with firearms, then ignore my post altogether and get in the woods.
MOST important thing is to teach your son about gun safety.

Can you cut more timber and make a clear cut going up the left side of you map? Maybe another 5-8 acres of a thin line.
You said you bush hog this area. Does it get thick enough for good cover and bedding? It needs to, if not. Thicker the better.
I see you got the house right on the edge of the clear cut, which looks to be about 15 acres give or take.
You’re basically staying where they want to hide for cover when you get there. That’s why I suggested extending your cover source. They may hear the your presence at the house and lay low, or get the heck out. They may be used to that, I don’t know the scenario enough to judge.
I’d trim 4 small plots down to 3 larger ones on the flat area’s. Deer need food, cover, water. That’s it!
Good neighbors are a major plus. Your neighbor feeding is also doing you a service. That’s a big plus in my mind. Deer usually have a range of no less than 200 hundred acres depending on the lay of the land, resources, etc.
Use feeders and feed them well. I’d start about a good month before season starts, to a good month after it ends. It’s crazy expensive to do it year round, but if you can, then do it in some shape or form. That wouldn’t be main goal for this property though.
Be able to slide in and out of your stands undetected if possible. Place them where you CAN do that. PRESSURE is your worst enemy.
Hunting once a week on 75 acres is not a ton of pressure, but probably noticeable. You can’t control everything 100%, so just enjoy it and don’t stress out on trying to do too much on the management side.

I’m guessing you have family in Louisiana?
Maybe look at Florence, Al for an overlooked small town. Florence and nearby has enough to do to keep you satisfied. Good music and arts.
2 hours or less to these cities: Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga.
Tennessee river and Lake Pickwick. Duck hunting is pretty good. Fishing is excellent. Probably be able to get a home on the water at a reasonable price.
Good golfing and outdoors within any driving distance.
If you’re an LSU fan you can be in Tuscaloosa, Oxford, Starkville, Auburn, or Nashville in 2 hours. Bit more to Oxford, but that’s FIVE places to catch an away game within driving distance.
Clean and pretty good school systems. Good local music scene.
You can even take a boat down to Baton Rouge for an LSU game if you wanted. Be an adventure, but you can say you did it. You can go up river and do the same in Knoxville. Close enough to drive to the Smokey’s for hiking/whitewater rafting, vacation as well. Good location to a lot of places.

re: Producers say beef prices are a bargain and cattle prices are not too high
Posted by 14caratgoldjones on 12/4/25 at 1:21 pm to ragincajun03
The farmers are correct on the large increase in operational costs to raise beef.
I’m in sales for Ag equipment and we wholesale through local dealers who retail and provide parts and service to our customers.
Our prices, just since Covid, have increased 35%. It’s not just us but all ag manufacturers. What would typically have taken 15 years to increase to that rate, was done in 5. The tariffs were another 7% increase just late August.
Just like automobiles that people have been delaying to purchase due to high costs, they can’t just say “I’ll pass” because it’s too high. They have to make a living so they have to buy.
Fertilizer, Vet, equipment, land, have all skyrocketed.
Hay Balers are now $70k. Mowers are $35-40K. Rakes are 15k, Tedders are 18-25K. Even the bale wrap has tripled.
Tractors are outrageously high and parts and service at these dealerships are sky high. You need at least 100k tractor to run the equipment. Several of these as well.
Cattle guys are being forced to learn all the new technology that comes with this new equipment and hate it. You have to be an Astronaut to understand the new monitors and info provided. The young guys generally thrive on it though.
The avg age for cattlemen is 67. They are dying out and not being replaced at the rate they are leaving.
They have made some money the last 2 years but the 4 years prior was break even at best, so they’ve used most of these profits to pay down debt. It’s a cyclical business.
If the beef prices go down a good bit, they are in a boatload of trouble.
