Description
This 20.418± acre timbered hunting tract in Pope County, Illinois offers a rare opportunity to own a manageable parcel that adjoins the Shawnee National Forest on multiple sides. Located in an area known for producing quality whitetails, the property combines strong natural deer movement with expanded hunting access through its public land boundary. The rolling topography features a prominent timbered ridge and draw system that naturally funnels wildlife movement. The main ridge serves as a rut travel corridor, creating prime stand locations during the peak of the season. Terrain changes, combined with timber diversity, make this tract highly strategic for bow or firearm hunters. The timber stand consists of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods, providing seasonal food sources and dependable cover. Ample deer sign is present throughout the property, reflecting consistent wildlife activity and a proven history of big bucks in the immediate area. With approximately 700 feet of road frontage on multiple sides, the tract offers flexible access options and varying wind strategies. Its adjacency to the Shawnee National Forest effectively increases your usable hunting footprint while maintaining the advantages of private ownership. For hunters seeking a smaller, highly functional tract with rut-focused terrain and public land access, this Pope County property delivers strong potential in one of Southern Illinois’ most sought-after recreational regions.
