Description
Located in southern Hancock County, along Bear Creek, this 83.5+/- surveyed-acre hunting property has a strong combination of whitetail habitat, annual CRP income, and established food plot and stand locations. Located down a dead-end road, the property offers a secluded setting with limited traffic in the Bear Creek corridor of West Central Illinois. The creek is one of the defining features of the property, running through the western portion of the acreage and providing a natural water source and travel corridor for wildlife. Combined with thick bedding cover, established food plots, and CRP tree plantings, the property contains several important habitat components within one tract. These features create opportunities to hunt different areas based on wind direction, seasonal food plots, and deer movement. Of the 83.5+/- surveyed acres, approximately 58.59 acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program. The CRP acreage currently generates $12,533 in annual income, adding a productive financial component to the recreational value of the land. The CRP also maintains habitat that can provide bedding, security cover, and transition areas for deer and other wildlife. Established food plots are positioned throughout the property to provide food sources and multiple stand locations. Thick bedding areas are scattered across the farm, allowing deer to use different portions of the property throughout the year. The property has a strong trail camera history and harvest history, which is expected in this neighborhood. Neighboring landowners practice Quality Deer Management, adding to the deer-management efforts surrounding this portion of the Bear Creek area. An established trail system provides access throughout the property. The trails connect stand locations, food plots, CRP acreage, and other portions of the property, making it easier to access stand locations and maintain food plots. Privacy is another notable feature. The property is positioned down a dead-end road, reducing unnecessary vehicle traffic and deer pressure. For hunters focused on managing pressure and maintaining consistent wildlife use, the location provides an important advantage when planning access throughout the hunting season. A storage building with electricity is located on the eastern side of the property. The building provides convenient space for storing equipment, tools, tree stands, food plot supplies, and other land-management gear. The electric service adds functionality for property maintenance or camping.
