This farm is the epitome of the "perfect funnel." With miles of bluffs to the east and the west, this farm is gently sloping allowing easy travel corridors for deer. To the south is the Big Bay area in Pope County, an old river bed that is some of the most fertile ground we have in Southern Illinois. To the north are more tillable acreas and excellent bedding habitat. The bluff line splits the property in half, offering you a mix of open hunting and timber. You can tuck a small cabin along the road and hook up to the county water and electricity. An old orchard sits on the neighboring property and draws the deer across your farm by the dozens. This farm is currently in hay production but has the Woscob's in place to be converted to corn and soybeans. Several nice deer have been harvested in this area the past few years.
