New land to poach in NC

He’s bought a lot of land and then sold it at a discount to the state or nature conservancies. Like the 1100 acre brushy mtn tract that should be coming into the gamelands program in the next couple years.

Good on him for doing something worthwhile with his wealth.

Someone needs to turn him on to the Alcoa land for sale

I am pretty sure he takes advantage of the soft market. Most (not all) of his land was bought after the 08 crash.

He bought most, if not all, of the old Hickorynut Mountain Game Lands in McDowell County from developers

At least it’s not being developed. I’m a part of some leases that join his land. We don’t poach them, but I’m glad the land is there.

Tax purposes probably, but good for him

He utilizes conservation easements heavily, but he was always a nature nerd growing up so its more than just tax breaks for him.

“Poach” is such an ugly word…………..I prefer the term “slippin”……………

Slippin is in fine form on Sweeny based on where he has bought up many many big tracts.

Great thread with such a nice hidden joke @kilerhamilton.
Pretty Work.

I agree^^. The tax breaks just make it a little easier. Also easier to justify to the spouse and accountants. I suspect most of us have used similar logic when justifying purchases to the wife! I know I have! Though to be fair, she is pretty onboard with most of them anyway. Especially outdoor recreation related!

He also helped purchase land for the new Bobs Creek State Park in McDowell County

No hunting on state parks but still its now public land we can visit
