Description
If you’ve been looking for a property where you can consistently hunt wild pheasants, waterfowl, turkeys and whitetails, here is a fantastic opportunity!
This 80-acre tract sits on the west edge of Otter Creek Marsh WMA, just west of Chelsea, Iowa, in southern Tama County. The location is practical and easy to reach, just a half mile south of Highway 30 and within an hour of both Ames and Cedar Rapids. The land is enrolled in a permanent wetland conservation easement, protecting the habitat long-term and keeping it undisturbed. That protection has resulted in a strong wild pheasant population, regular waterfowl use, vocal spring gobblers and solid whitetail numbers. The property directly connects to thousands of acres of Otter Creek Marsh public land, allowing you to hunt and explore well beyond the boundary lines.
Habitat diversity is the defining feature. Tall native grasses, including Indian grass, big bluestem and switchgrass, dominate the landscape, along with shallow ponds and wetland areas, bottomland timber, brushy fencelines and an established alfalfa food plot that provides a reliable food source. While filming the property, pheasants were flushing consistently from the tall grass.
It’s also a strong setting for introducing new hunters to the outdoors. The owner has enjoyed this property with friends and family for years, not just for hunting but for beekeeping and spending time on the land. Properties with legitimate wild pheasant potential, direct adjacency to a major WMA, and quick Highway 30 access rarely come available. If you’re looking for a hunting property with great wild pheasant hunting, waterfowl, turkey and whitetail opportunity, this one deserves serious consideration.
