This farm is located in an area (SW Wapello county) that is known for producing giant bucks every year and it has everything needed for growing and holding bucks until they reach maturity.  It’s got good cover, nice terrain, south facing bedding areas, agriculture, miles of edge, secluded areas for food plots, creek bottoms, and numerous water sources. This farm is also broken up in a way that would make it easy to bowhunt, but also great for late season food plot hunting.  In addition to the awesome hunting, this farm has a brand new private lake on it that is supposed to be in the 10 acre range when full.  This lake will offer a host of fishing, boating, and camping opportunities.  Call Rich Baugh at 319-750-9273 if you have questions or would like to schedule a showing.
