Will do. I called TXDOT since it's along a state highway and they said I needed a permit and would have to foot the installation bill. I didn't think about calling Newton county.Before you install the culvert, call the county. I called my county office & was told they would install for free, I just had to supply the culvert. They trenched the ditch, put the culvert I left & covered it up with rock.
<>I thought I'd throw this out and get some advice. I've been looking to purchase land in east Texas for the past few years. I finally have the funds to do it and I picked the area due it's proximity to Houston and land cost. I'm not purchasing primarily as an investment but as a recreational tract where I can hunt and have a place to take the wife and kids to get out of the city. The property I'm looking at is approximately 40 acres and located near the Jasper/Newton/Burkeville area. Current owners have travel trailers on it with blinds and feeders. My eventual goal is to just hunt / shoot on it for now, but I plan on clearing a few acres for a shop build and possible homesite later on. Here are my questions.
1. How's deer / hog hunting in East Texas? I know the deer are a lot more skittish and tend to be nocturnal
2. The land is currently hardwood / pine mixed and currently has a timber exemption. I want to clear some areas out, so how would I go about having some of the acreage harvested by a timber company?
3. I know counties can restrict shooting on land less than 50acres. Since this is already setup for hunting does anyone know if Newton County has restrictions on me setting up a small range to sight in my weapons. I've tried looking online and can't get a straight answer.
Is there anything else I need to know about purchasing land? I've bought and sold several homes but raw land is a bit different. Instead of purchasing a tractor I would like to buy a tracked skid steer do the majority of the land clearing myself for the underbrush and small trees.
I approve everything about this build except the brake. That's got to be loud as hell.I haven't updated this in a while. We purchased a home on an acre lot at the beginning of the summer that needed a lot of cleanup. Those projects kept me away from the land for a while and this summers heat didn't help. I went out today to fill feeders and move cameras around. I had time to sight in a couple of AR builds. This grendel build was all spare parts. Accuracy was good enough at 50 yards.
I'm sure it sucks being on either side of it. Thats my dedicated hog gun, so I'm hoping it helps with quick follow up shots.I approve everything about this build except the brake. That's got to be loud as hell.
Love my RT6's and CMC's. Heck, I like UBR's too, except the weight.
Can't argue with the results, though.
