Same here just moved into town about year and a half ago. It's been really hard going from a farm of 500-600 acrs to .5 acrs. It's killing me man. I drive 45 min each time back to the farm to run my dogs. I also would LOVE to live back out in the country but can't afford it. Plus my wife doesn't want to, which really stinks. She said she would rather live in a big city somewhere. Gotta change her mind or find a new one!! LOL! only thing she makes too good a money.

I just moved from town to the country and LOVE it!!!!!

We are in town now, I have been trying to get her to let us live out in the country for 3 moves now... Now we are going back to MO and we will rent in town until this house sells and then buy 25-35 acres with or without a house. If without, then we will build and then put up a small barn/shed and build a running pen too. Then I will be hard pressed to move again.

What part of MO? Emery

I live beside a small country club. I have close neighbors, but I can be running dogs 5 minutes from home. I am about 10 minutes from town. I looked at a small farm last year, but the wife did not like the farm house. I liked the pond and the black berry thickets not to mention the old grown up pasture. I probably would have been too close to one of my old drinking buddies. That may not have been too good.

I'm in town looking for land too, hard to come by at a reasonable price for some woods.
Small Island, lots of waterfront, lots of high prices and I'm a real estate broker, LOL !!

Out in the country, in fact I've never lived in town.

In the country, just bought a farm last year that's been in the family for 3 generations. Wouldn't know what to do in the city!

As rabbithound just mentioned--- I live in the country and always have in my adult life.
I've always been fortunate enough to be where I could turn the dogs out and hunt right from the house. Here in Tn. I have about 5 acres enclosed to start a pup and the cover is good enough that you can can run a couple of grown dogs. Behind me my running pen fence shares part of a fence line with a neighbor who has 200 acres fenced for a fox / coyote pen. Sometimes on a Sunday afternoon in the winter I'll take a lawn chair and go sit down by the fence and watch the coyote go by. In all honesty I think some strains of beagles can drive harder than those guy's foxhounds.
Down across a couple hundred acre bean field is another fox pen of about 125 acres. If you care to you can sit out and listen to a fox race bout anytime you want to. Course I wish they were rabbit pens myself that I could run but YOU KNOW that beaglers just don't have money like those fox guys!!!! LOL
I still have a fair amount of hunting places within 10-15 minutes but I'll tell you that never take them for granted and you never can have too many. I have lost half a dozen hunting spots in the last year or two.Subdivisions / developement,posting,leased,etc.

Shady Grove, I wish I lived where you live. I'd kill to have access to a fox pen. I love to run beagles on fox. It's a rush.

Here's a stupid one. I live in the city and work in (almost) the country.
