I do, and am thankful, charlie. We own 900+ acres (row-crop land and woodlots), and lease another 500-600, or so. Growing peanuts and corn attracts lots of birds on our land, plus we are surrounded by intensive row-crop agriculture for many, many miles. I seldom have to drive over 15 miles to a dove shoot, and may shoot 20 times a season. I have killed many limits within walking distance of my home.
I doubt there'll be any four lanes built out here anytime soon. Biggest employer is Plant Alvin Vogtle, a nuclear power plant, and a two lane handles the traffic to and from it with no problem.
It's a nice little piece of "heaven on earth".
