Description
Located in Wayne County, Illinois, this all-seasons hunting tract offers a balanced mix of habitat types, terrain, and features to support a wide range of hunting and recreational uses. The property includes a combination of bottomland timber, open areas for food plots, and dense cover, making it attractive for deer, turkey, and waterfowl.
The timber includes areas of oak and mixed hardwoods, providing mast production and cover. Throughout the property, several established food plots are already in place, creating consistent attraction and feeding areas for deer. The mix of cover, food, and water has contributed to a great deer history in the area.
Over 2,200 feet of frontage along Little Pond Creek adds a strong water feature to the property. The creek, along with multiple sloughs and oxbows, creates natural funnels for deer travel and also supports excellent waterfowl habitat. These waterways help steer wildlife movement and provide stand locations along well-used travel routes.
The internal road and trail system makes it easy to access key areas of the property for hunting, maintenance, or land management. This infrastructure allows hunters to move quietly and efficiently to stand sites or blinds across different wind conditions and seasons.
Surrounding the property on multiple sides is active row crop farmland, which further enhances the property's appeal by providing an outside food source and encouraging deer to travel through the parcel. The proximity to agriculture, combined with existing bedding and cover on-site, creates an ideal setup for hunting transitions and travel corridors.
Deeded easement access from the west allows reliable entry without impacting wildlife movement across the main hunting areas. The layout offers multiple entry points for strategic access during hunting seasons.
In addition to deer hunting, the property also supports spring turkey hunting and seasonal waterfowl opportunities, especially in the wetland areas near the creek and oxbows.
