Hunting Land with Income Producing Tillable Ground

This awesome hunting tract has a history of producing some giant whitetails. Located in the heart of the Shawnee Forest country of Southern Illinois, this Hardin County farm has what it takes to hold and produce quality whitetails. There is approximately 68 acres currently in row crop production that produces an annual income and more food for the deer. There are numerous areas to plant food plots to provide more variety of food for whitetails. The remaining of the property contains mast producing hardwood ridges, brushy draws ,softwood timber and several watering holes. The areas of bedding cover on this farm makes great sanctuary areas to hold mature deer and provide security cover. There are numerous funnels and pinch points between bedding areas, timber and crop fields which makes great places to set your stands and wait on the big buck to walk by. There are two old rustic wooden barns on this property that are in decent shape to utilize for storage or just to admire and take a step back in time. They could also be used for re-purposing and use some of the old wood to build a cabin or hunting camp on the property. A trail system runs throughout the property which makes access to all parts of the farm accessible. Pinhook Creek runs along the North border of this property which makes another great travel corridor for cruising bucks. Electric is available at the main entrance of the farm.
