So many options here! This farm will be offered in separate tracts and as a full farm at the sale.

Farm it and lease the hunting rights for additional income or buy it as your own hunting property and benefit from the tillable income.  Southern Illinois is home to some of the best trophy whitetail hunting in the entire country.  This tract is one of a kind.  Four years ago, a 193 inch buck was taken off this property.  This is a HIGH QUALITY farm with great recreational opportunity.  Thick timber, water, excellent tillable and multiple plot options come together to create the perfect whitetail paradise.  This place is loaded with shredded trees and worn deer trails to match.  Look closely at this one.  It's a great opportunity to own a piece of the dream.

Whitetail Trophy Properties Land Specialist Mark Doerner has been an outfitter and land owner in White County, Illinois for 8 years.  Mark knows where the giant deer are year-in and year-out.  He describes this property as "one of those magic spots". This property has everything it takes to grow and hold big whitetail; cover, water, food, genetics and great like-minded neighbors. Mark spent two full days exploring this tract and was impressed with the big buck sign.  He was able to watch a 170"+ buck feeding in soybeans along with other big bucks. The trail camera and harvest photos tell the story on this property.
