>>2818390that sounds nice anon. im similar yet different. I have 20 acres in an area that is mostly public land and very, very large parcels. My property is bordered by national forests on 2 sides. The national forest is 2 million acres which is directly accessible out my back door. We have a continental climate with tremendous variability with abundant sunshine, ample rain in spring/summer/fall and copious snow in the winter which leads to lush vegetaion in riparian areas all growing season long. We have a tremendous amount of freshwater streams and rivers, springs both cold and hot and many mountain lakes enabling an abundance of fish and wildlife such as white tailed deer, mule deer, elk, moose, big horn sheep, mountain goats and pronghorn antelope. Of course, we have our share of predators too with black bear, grizzly bear, mt lion, lynx, bobcat, Wolf, coyote, fox, wolverine, marten, stoats etc...and lots if upland games birds too. Out here people like their independence for sure but are also more pragmatic in the sense of always willing to help a nieghbor because your survival depends on it. Picrel are my nieghbors horses as I do not have any. We had some late season snow last week but things are greening up fast.
