Quarter Section Slice of Hunting Heaven

Property Description

The show-me state is no stranger to deer. As home to approximately 1.3 million whitetails, you can find these wiley ungulates in every corner of the state. However, each corner brings a new take on habitat, resulting in a mixed bag of hunting conditions. This 161 +/- acre farm northwest of Sheldon in southern Vernon County is set up to hunt! There’s just so much to love about this farm, and it checks all the right boxes for hunting and recreation potential - features like absolute seclusion with no road frontage, an extensive trail system, creek bottoms, and timbered ridges, mature timber, existing food plots and potential food plot locations, a solid hunting history with multiple bucks over 150” taken, loaded with turkeys, diverse habitat, and even a building for storing your equipment or a sheltered hunting camp. This property has a creek with sloughs running the length of the bottom and the owner has gone to the expense of carving out some areas and installing flood gates to flood the timber to hold the resident mallards and wood ducks.

This farm is accessed via a quarter mile long, 40’ wide lane that’s owned, not easement, gated to prevent unauthorized entry. This lane has recently been graded and culverts added to be able to get equipment in and out with ease. Upon reaching the end of the lane, you’re greeted by a cleared landing with plenty of parking and room to turn a trailer around, along with a shipping container for added storage. From here you’ll see some beautiful mature timber, with plenty of large hardwoods such as oak, hickory, and walnut in the forest canopy, plus a few cedar thickets for dense bedding. Several miles of trails meander throughout the farm, providing easy access to several key features such as the food plots, ponds, and creek. During the fall these trails running the oak ridges are littered with scrapes and fun to hunt!

The terrain on this farm consists of numerous ridges and draws that create a network of funnels and pinch points and make the property feel and hunt larger, and looking at aerial maps of the area you’ll quickly realize the farm is a hub for bruiser November bucks on their feet during the rut. You’re sure to appreciate the weathertight 2 Redneck fiberglass hunting blinds perched atop a 15’ and a 10’ tower, with commanding views overlooking two of the food plots.

If you’ve been looking for an outstanding hunting farm that checks all the right boxes with a solid history, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. But a word of warning - once you’ve been on it you won’t want to leave! To learn more about this outstanding farm, or to schedule a private showing, call listing agent Ryan Litwin.
