I just signed a purchase agreement to buy 130 acres of heavily forested property (about 40 miles from Houston). The proprty measures approximately 2,650 ft by 2,100 ft. At the moment there is nothing on the property except trees - and lots of them - but we are going to build a house there soon. The property, a retangular shape, is rimmed on one long side by a quiet road, on the two short sides by property occupying one single home each, and on the other long side by a small development of eight or ten single family homes.
I shoot mainly pistols (9mm, .40 and .45 cal) and ocassionally a rifle (30-06) and a 12 guage shotgun. My question is, assuming I shoot into the trees in a direction where I know no houses are and where no cars or people are likely to be, do you think that would be safe or should I build a berm? Also what about hunting? You can't use a berm for that. I'm hoping that 130 acres of heavily treed land should be safe for shooting as long as I am mindful of neighboring homes, etc., but I'd thought I ask here for any advice. Thanks...
