This Southern Iowa farm has all the aspects needed to make up the ideal hunting farm. It features multiple food plots, a creek running through it, an extensive trail system, and on-site living quarters. Just off Floris Road, the shed/cabin is conveniently located, measuring 30x48, with half dedicated to living quarters and half to equipment storage. The storage area is large enough to hold all the equipment necessary to manage the farm. Inside the living quarters is an ideal place to relax and stay while hunting. There's one bedroom, a living room, a kitchenette area, and a bathroom. It’s equipped with rural water and electricity and sits on the far north end of the property on a hill, out of the way, where it won't affect the hunting on the farm. As you leave the shed and descend the hill, you notice the extensive trail system leading to all areas of the farm. These trails lead to 11 different secluded food plots, from micro plots surrounded by timber to larger feeding fields in the creek bottom. There's no shortage of other food plot options, whether for multiple hunters or hunting in different wind directions, whether bow hunting or gun hunting.
The bigger food plots on the north end of the farm have been utilized in recent years. However, some smaller micro plots on the south end haven't been planted in a few years, offering the perfect opportunity for the aggressive hunter wanting to plant and hunt these areas. There are nine enclosed tower blinds and eight treestands, with at least one overlooking each food plot. The timber boasts great diversity, from creek-bottom timber to upland hardwoods. Along the creek bottoms, there's a good mix of black walnut, river birch, maple, and giant cottonwoods. Moving up in terrain on all the ridge tops, there’s a great variety of oaks, hickory, locusts, cherry, and persimmon trees. With the thick creek bottom flats and the south-facing slopes high up on these ridges, there's ample bedding cover for whitetails.
Additionally, the property features a fair amount of giant oak trees that provide a roosting habitat for turkeys. The food plots in the creek bottom provide a perfect spot to find strutting toms in the spring. This farm offers numerous opportunities, whether taking advantage of the turn-key aspect or putting your stamp on things. It has everything whitetails and turkeys need to thrive, and it's also situated in a great part of the county with big connecting timber. The block of timber spans for miles to the northwest and southeast, offering the opportunity for a giant step in your field. Furthermore, the neighborhood boasts management-minded neighbors who collaborate to shoot top-end whitetails. If you're looking for a tremendous hunting farm with a place to stay, store your equipment, and hunt the giant bucks Southern Iowa is known for, contact Hersh Smith for a private tour.
