Description
This 40± acre tract in Pope County, Illinois is a prime deer and turkey hunting property offering an exceptional combination of income, habitat diversity, and seclusion. With a proven history of deer and turkey harvests and a location along a major rut travel corridor, the property is ideally positioned for consistently targeting mature whitetails. Approximately 19.76± acres are enrolled in CRP, generating $1,605 annually while also providing outstanding bedding and security cover. The balance of the property includes open areas well-suited for food plots, creating a strong food-to-cover ratio that helps attract and hold wildlife throughout the year. Multiple elevated box blinds are already in place, making this a ready-to-hunt tract from day one. The property boasts approximately 4,200 feet of combined frontage along Robnett Creek and the Bay Creek drainage ditch. These water features act as major travel corridors and provide a consistent water source, while also creating natural funnels and pinch points that enhance hunting strategy during the rut. Timber stand diversity is another key feature, with a mix of softwoods, mast-producing hardwoods, and pines. Areas of dense security and bedding cover are scattered throughout, helping to hold deer on the property and promote daylight movement. An established trail system allows for efficient access to stand locations and food plot areas. This tract adjoins tillable acreage, further increasing its attractiveness to wildlife, and borders a hard-to-access portion of the Shawnee National Forest—effectively expanding your huntable footprint and providing additional sanctuary for mature deer. With no road frontage, the property offers a high level of seclusion and low hunting pressure. An off-grid campsite or cabin build site makes it an ideal setup for a private hunting retreat. For buyers seeking a manageable, income-producing hunting tract with exceptional habitat, water features, and access to large adjoining acreage, this Pope County property is a standout opportunity.
