By Mara Watts
During the cold, winter months, getting outside to enjoy your large acreage can be challenging, but it doesn’ t have to be.
From sledding to foraging, we’ ve gathered the ultimate list of winter-themed activities to help you embrace the cold and make the most of your land.
Go for a Winter Hunt
Living on a large acreage offers year-round hunting opportunities, especially in the winter.
This time of year, it is ideal for hunting wild animals like rabbits, squirrels, foxes and deer.
However, before you head out, be sure to check with your local wildlife agency or game warden for hunting regulations and any special considerations in your area.
Enjoy a Sleigh Ride
“ Come on, it’ s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you!”
Why not enjoy a scenic ride across an open snowy field? Many farmers and tour companies offer sleigh rides with horses for a fee. Or, if you have your own, saddle up and ride across the snow yourself.
And don’ t forget your sleigh bells!
