Food plots, trails, dense cover, box blinds, ponds, creeks, views and room to build. Rarely does a property come on the market like this one that has all the elements of the ultimate hunting property. The seller has carefully managed this property at the highest level to consistently harvest mature bucks and turkeys. The property runs from east to west with an entrance off a very quiet rural road. Just off the road there is a level parking area with room for several vehicles or even a camper or RV. There is a wide trail that leads west through the property which provides great access to all the food plots and hunting blinds. Perched on the small hill is an incredible location to build your home or hunting cabin with complete privacy and beautiful views of the farmland and valleys beyond. The hill also overlooks the first of several food plots. Following the trail west you come across a beautiful pond nearly 3 acres in size. The pond is several feet deep and is a great spot for fishing, swimming and duck hunting. There is a custom wooden hunting blind that overlooks the pond with the ability to cover the food plot to the north. Tall native grasses and shrubs surround the pond and the front side of the property. Numerous Apple trees and blackberry bushes provide fruit while mast crops are plentiful from the multiple White and Red Oak trees on the property. The property is surrounded by hundreds of acres of agricultural fields so the dense cover provides deer with high quality bedding locations. The layout of the property creates natural funnels and pinch points that take advantage of the deer movement to and from the ag fields. The middle of the property consists of a timbered section with dense undergrowth. Several Does were seen in this area while taking photos. The western section of the property is also wooded and slopes gently uphill to the south. In the middle of this section is a hemlock grove with a small swampy area that has heavy trails and beds showing consistent use. While walking the property, 2 mature bucks (an 8 point and a 10 point) were witnessed near this section of the property. A jaw bone of a deer was also found in this area estimated to be at least 6 years old and a testament of the mature deer on the property. In addition to the pond the property also includes 3 small streams providing water for wildlife and additional funnels for hunting. There is a strong amount of marketable timber on the property consisting of White and Red Pine, Maple, Oak and Cherry trees. One of the larger food plots on the property is located on the northern corner of the property positioned just above a dense bedding area and creek bottom. Get out the wind and stay warm in the elevated box blind which provides the perfect location to see deer as they come out of the bedding to feed. The seller has very carefully managed the property and set up designated sanctuaries that minimize pressure on the deer and increase the holding capacity. Quality mature bucks, turkeys as well as the occasional black bear, this property has all the elements to provide you with years of hunting and outdoor enjoyment. The seller has a trophy wall of mature deer he has harvested on the property that would get any hunter excited. Located in WMU 6S in the southern zone.
