Packed with nearly everything you would want from a serious hunting property, this 64-acre in Wapello County has seclusion, tillable, hidden food plots, cedar screens, a south-facing slope, hardwoods, brushy bedding areas, and a creek. This is one of the best-looking properties we've been on under 100 acres. It has a rich history of mature bucks and an excellent bow and gun hunting layout. Secluded from the road frontage, it has a dense cover, year-round water, and hidden food plots. The edge, terrain, and diversity make for a natural landscape where mature deer will be.
The cover here is awesome, with various big oak hardwoods, brush, and cedars that roll across south-facing terrain, making fantastic whitetail bedding. Multiple fields are used for food plots and tillable cash rent, and the owner worked with the tenant to leave four acres of standing corn for the late season. A creek goes through the property's north end, providing a water source for the wildlife on the farm.
Access is from a 60-foot wide permanent easement lane from the south, leading into a 9-acre field and branching north into different secluded sections. Various other fields and coves are hidden by cedar-covered fence rows, making it convenient to slip in and out undetected. This property has an excellent mature buck history, giving a super option for those who want a potent hunting property.
