If you’re serious about deer hunting, this 30-acre tract is the kind of place you want to own. It’s got everything you need to hold and kill deer year after year. There are 5.5+/- acres of timber with thick cover, and a creek running through that provides water and natural movement routes. On my first visit past the farm back in January, there were over 30 deer on the property and at least 3 bucks in the 150-inch-plus range. I personally walked the entire property, and there is deer sign all over—tracks, trails, rubs. While scouting, I found four sheds, including a big matched set, which tells me mature bucks are using this ground consistently. It’s not just passing deer—this place is holding them.
20.5+/- acres of the land is in CRP until 2030, which means you’re getting annual income while also providing excellent bedding cover. That CRP grass and the surrounding ag fields make this a perfect setup. Deer are feeding in the ag fields and coming back onto this property to bed down during the day. You’re in the middle of a prime travel corridor. It’s easy to read and easy to hunt.
There are multiple stand and blind locations depending on the wind, and you’ve got plenty of room to plant food plots along the edges or back in hidden corners. The timber along the creek gives you good access and natural funnels. It sets up great for archery or gun season. This place hunts big for 30 acres because of the layout and how it connects to the surrounding ground. Neighboring farms are mostly ag, which makes this one of the few places in the area with thick cover and timber—they’ll be bedding here.
This property checks every box for a deer hunter who wants a manageable piece with income, proven sign, and a real chance to tag mature bucks. It's ready to go right now, with no guesswork.
