Description
This 152.09± acre hunting tract located in Saline and Pope Counties, Illinois offers a diverse blend of habitat, extensive hunting improvements, and a proven history of mature whitetails. Bordering the Shawnee National Forest along its western boundary, this property provides exceptional hunting opportunities in one of Southern Illinois' premier deer and turkey hunting regions. The property has been thoughtfully improved to enhance both wildlife habitat and hunting success. Seven established food plots totaling approximately 10 acres are strategically positioned throughout the farm, providing quality forage and attractive hunting locations. Established stands of clover offer additional nutrition throughout the growing season, while two larger plots are ideally suited for standing grain plantings to help attract and hold wildlife during the fall and winter months. Numerous hunting blinds are already in place and will convey with the property, providing ready-to-hunt setups across the farm. Combined with the property's strategic habitat improvements, these established hunting locations create opportunities for multiple hunters and hunting scenarios throughout the season. The farm features abundant edge habitat and transition cover, creating ideal conditions for wildlife movement and daytime activity. Numerous funnels and pinch points throughout the property naturally concentrate deer movement and provide excellent stand locations. The property's layout allows hunters to take advantage of prevailing winds and seasonal movement patterns while minimizing disturbance. Several creeks converge near the southern end of the property, creating a significant wildlife travel corridor. This creek system serves as a major rut corridor for bucks in the area and provides reliable water sources that enhance the property's overall habitat value. The combination of water, cover, and topography creates excellent conditions for both deer and turkey hunting. Timbered ridges and draws extend throughout the tract and are populated with a mix of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods. Areas of dense bedding and sanctuary cover provide the security needed to hold wildlife on the property year-round. The diverse habitat structure offers everything necessary to support mature whitetails and a healthy turkey population. An established interior road and trail system provide convenient access throughout the farm for hunting, habitat management, and recreational use. A gravel drive leads to a gated entrance, offering privacy and security while maintaining access to the property's various hunting areas. The property also includes an established basecamp with a camper that will convey with the sale, providing immediate accommodations for weekend hunts and extended stays. Utilities are available, and the property offers an excellent build site for a future cabin or permanent residence. With a proven history of big bucks, extensive habitat improvements, included blinds, established lodging, and direct frontage on the Shawnee National Forest, this is a rare opportunity to own a highly improved hunting property in the heart of Southern Illinois.
