This is an excellent smaller acreage hunting tract! Located in the Big Bay area of Southern Illinois, this farm sits right in the heart of big buck country. It has a great mix of habitat types including, open areas for standing grain or food plots, thick bedding/sanctuary cover, two water sources and a major travel corridor for deer in the area! The deeded easement enters from the south along the old railroad bed and leads into the farm at the southeast corner. This south entry point is hidden due to the gentle roll of the open field’s topography and is great for November’s predominantly northern wind directions. There are just over 10+/- acres of open ground broken up into two larger fields that are perfect for standing grain food sources and two smaller areas that are ideal for staging plots. There is plenty of thick sanctuary/bedding habitat spread throughout the southern half of the farm. These thicker areas are located close to several of the open areas and create the ideal scenario for bedding close to food. A small pond sits in the center of the farm along with a creek that runs through the middle and east side of the farm. This provides plenty of water for the local wildlife. The farm is bordered on the west by a railroad track that really helps to direct deer travel as well as providing a defined boundary. The area has plenty of agriculture fields and the farm is bordered by row crops on the east and north sides. If you’re looking for a farm that has a great mix of habitat types, is loaded with deer sign, has no road frontage and sits in an area known for producing big bucks, give us a call today and schedule your private tour!
