This must-see property is located south of IL-16 and east of county road 2075E between Charleston and Ashmore. The tract sits at the end of a quarter-mile lane gated at its intersection with 2075E. As you make your way down the access road, you will enter a large open area that provides an excellent place to park. This area is large enough to park a camper and vehicles. As you walk south of the parking area, you will notice a creek crossing, which gives you access to another large open area. This area is roughly 1.5 acres and would make an excellent location for a food plot or the addition of some warm-season grasses. The west edge of this area has been lined with downed treetops between the plot and Polecat Creek, which forces the deer to enter at specific places. There are three elevated Millennium blinds on the property. One of the blinds is currently at the north end of this plot, providing a great view with easy access to it. As you go further south and across Polecat Creek, you will find a second blind in another strategic location. The blind is between the creek and a large ridge that runs above it. The contour forces the deer between the creek and the ridge right past the blind. A mowed trail will take you past the blind and eventually reach the ridge's top. Once on top of this trail, you will parallel the south property line and eventually turn on and return north. This route has several great ambush points for additional blinds or tree stands. There is another trail located at the south end of the plot that will take you to the east portion of the property. Once you get to the top, the trail will split, allowing you to go to the south or north. Most of this trail will go north and provide you access to the far north end, with several other trails branching off. Eventually, you will go down to a significant bottom along a smaller creek where the third blind is. This area has an open area that would make an excellent kill plot and is surrounded by cover. The last main trail heads north from the parking area, giving good access to the west side. This property has an extensive trail system and an excellent whitetail history, is very secluded, and has unreal habitat. It will only get better as the new foliage grows and gets thicker. There are also several locations where small microplots could be added and successfully hunted. This property is in a coveted county that typically does not have a lot of recreational land for sale. You will want to schedule a showing before it is too late. Contact Land Specialist Adam Crumrin today.
