I'm going rural!!!
Just closed on ten acres in the Idaho Panhandle (northern Idaho).
My wife and I went and splashed some champane on it yesterday.
It's woodsy, with a small meadow, lots of blue berries and a view!
I'm flying high!!!!

Congratulations!  Are either of you from a rural upbringing?  What are your 
plans for your new found privacy?  (Boy am I nosy!)

  We aren't from a rural upbringing! Our plans are a little vague, but
include putting in a cross country skiing track around the outside.
We intend to plant fruit and nut trees, as well as a large garden. I want
to encourage the deer and elk to remain so I'll probably put out a 
lick and hay in the winter. Cathy wants to plant grapes and berries to
try various wine making ideas. We also want to keep the woodsy look, and
I want to plant some maples & oaks. Oh yes, how could I forget the
flower and herb gardens.

A little research may be in order - where I live, deer and elk just love
grapes, fruit trees, and most garden plants and produce.

I don't think deer will eat hay.

Careful!  Putting licks out for "game" animals is illegal in some states.  
It's construed by some regulations as baiting, and is viewed to be as bad 
as jacklighting. 

>> I want to plant some maples & oaks. Oh yes, how could I forget the

Holy cow!  Are you guys retiring or are you that full of energy and ambition?

I laughed when I saw this.  You're going to plant fruit and nut trees,
plant grapes and berries, and have flower and herb gardens.  But here's
the kicker: You want to encourage the deer and elk to stick around so
you're going to put out a lick and some hay.

After you plant all the other things, you won't need to do anything else
to make the deer and elk want to stay.  As a matter of fact, if you want
to enjoy any of those berries and grapes, I suspect we'll be seeing a
post from you asking how to keep deer and elk off the property...

They do.  I've seen them eat it along side the cows before.
