PRICE REDUCED!!! If you think you have to drive deep into central and southern Illinois to get to the best deer hunting country you would be mistaken. Six of the top 10 big buck counties of Illinois are found in the north and this 242 acres located less than 2 hrs from Chicago may be the very best hunting property available right now ! This Plum River area of Carroll County has a huge deer population and mature bucks are everywhere. The locals know how good this area is and would prefer to keep it a secret. The property is tore up with big buck sign and its hard to believe that all the tracks in the dirt and snow are all deer and not cattle ! As far as habitat is concerned, this property has it all. There are many creek bottoms, ponds and marshy sloughs mixed into large tracts of mast producing hardwoods. There is thick CRP bedding grasses with brushy thickets to hold deer and huge cornfields and foodplot fields breaking up the sections of timber. In the center of the property is a funnel that may be the best I have ever seen. A skilled hunter could kill 2 P&Y bucks every year out of just this location alone! There is also a large pole barn and a stocked fishing pond.
242 acres more or less (131 acres of diverse timber. It has about 111 acres tillable)
$955,900 ($3950/acre) - PRICE REDUCED!!
Property is an easy and direct 2 hr drive from Chicago’s west side.
There are many mature hardwoods in certain sections of the property which could offer a significant income if harvested and it would be good for land management.
Property has the potential to produce about $25,000.00 of annual income from farming, CRP payments and the rental of the pole barn.
The property is very secluded with the Plum River bordering most of the property and yet there is still road access.
There are large buck rubs and scrapes all over the place and high numbers of both deer and turkey.
The bottomland fields could be intentionally flooded along the Plum River to create world class duck hunting.
