Property Details
THIS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS PROPERTY IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME!
The deer density in this area is very high and the area has really good genetics.
The county reports good turkey hatches the last couple of years which bodes well for the turkey hunting.
Bordered on 3 sides by the Shawnee National Forest. There is not a lack of timber in this area. This property has 102 acres of old pasture and nearly 300 acres of timber. All of the pastures are planted in a clover mix and many deer are seen feeding in them every day. Easy access throughout the entire property.
There are five previously planted food plots that would need to be maintained by the lessee.
Two main plots down in the bottom field and 3 in openings on ridge top trails.
The neighbor to the north did a clear-cutting in 2007 on 40 acres that has become a very thick sanctuary for the local wildlife. A neighbor 1 mile to the west harvested a buck that scored 170" and field dressed 226lbs. The landowner reports that a 15 pt buck was harvested on the farm several years ago.
There are 2 ponds on the property that will offer some really good fishing opportunities for bass, crappie, bluegill, catfish and perch. These ponds are also tremendous water holes for the deer. There is also a live creek that runs for over a mile through the property year-round.
ATV use is permitted for hunting related activities only. No Trail Riding.
No shooting to be done within 1000 feet of the home on the property. This is a safe zone.
