Property Details
Classic 87 plus acre agricultural farm deep in the Mississippi River region of Jo Daviess County, that is open for DEER & TURKEY WITH BOW & GUN. Close to Blanding Landing Public Launch, so if one would like to access the Mississippi River for boating, fishing and even waterfowl hunting it's literally down the road.
Great well known rolling hunting area, which is next to approximately 1200 Illinois DNR acres. Part of those acres are ag fields that butt up to our property border, although this year it's mostly all in hay.
Heavy mature timber that enters the grassland, giving one ample stand locations. Some nice timbered flats too. Timber offering a decent mast crop for deer & turkey. Photos of property show good ag around as well, two separate fields on the western side that are planted usually corn, but may alternate with beans. Both of the ag field edges are lined with timber that the deer and turkey filter into the property to feast.
Two separate ponds and a feeder creek offer a good source of water for wildlife.
The homestead area is off limits for hunting as landowner is a full-time resident, but one may park off the western border of the property. Some horses are in the small corral by the barn, so close any and all gates as you find them. Some cattle are present, but removed completely from property in the fall. Must honor property borders as most of the farm is contiguous with Illinois DNR land. There is also a completely timbered point across the blacktop road for hunting as well.
Decent diverse almost 90 acre piece for two bow and/or gun hunters in a game rich area. Your bid includes the $2M liability insurance.
Close to the towns of Hanover, Elizabeth and Galena. Galena, is well known for historical sites, tours, shopping, lodging and restaurants.
