This hunting lease is leased and not available.
A very impressive farm being offered for lease in the heart of big buck country, Knox County, IL. Made up of timber, food, water, CRP and bedding. Providing all the ingredients required in a farm to grow mature bucks. Even more attractive, the Spoon River runs right through the center, providing water for all wildlife, but more importantly providing water to mature bucks during the rut. The CRP tree Program has been in place for more than a decade and has provided an awesome habitat. The trees are now big enough to hand stands and the undergrowth is providing security and an awesome bedding area.
The deer sign was not lacking, as the farm was littered with deer sign. I jumped up several deer while walking this farm. I found numerous deer trails and old rubs. The CRP on the west side of the farm will make for a great sanctuary, as the deer use this for bedding, and it is thick. The area in which this farm lies, the photos and the aerial photo, all speak for themselves. There is a ton of potential on this farm. There is currently an easement on the east side of the farm, which allows the landowner to access his farm to the south. This easement has not had any effect on the hunting or your opportunity to harvest a mature buck. There have already been a couple nice bruisers harvested from this farm. So, if you are looking for farm in the heart big buck country, then do not miss this opportunity!
*Lease runs from 1 April through 30 March.
*ATV use permitted for hunting purposes only – No Joy Riding – Please stay out of row crops.
