2200 Road, Lot #WP001 , Roodhouse, IL 62082(Greene County)

This property is a prime example of what can happen when a CREP property is managed to its full potential. This property has been in a constant state of development since 2017. The current owner has spent years designing a trail and food plot system that can be used in any wind and best fits the deer movement on the property. With 3 parking locations along the property's south end, you can hunt any day that works for your schedule. The final development of the trail system was in June of last year. The owners had the main trail system dozed out to provide years of trouble-free travel around the property. The trails all strategically go around the approximately 35-acre sanctuary that has not been hunted since 2017. While the heavy equipment was there, they added some acreage to the food plot design and cleaned out Lick Creek to help get water off the property as quickly as possible. Lick Creek cuts the back 1/3 of this parcel. This creek will go dry on most years during deer season, which allows an excellent access corridor to some of the internal stands for an all-day rut set. Looking over the trail camera and harvest history it is quickly apparent that this property holds and attracts some impressive deer. There has not been a deer harvested below 5 years of age since 2017. Finding a farm this highly managed is extremely rare. Apple Creek borders this property on the far north. This is an excellent travel corridor for big deer, and also a prime roosting area for turkey. The turkey hunting on this property is a bit of a rarity for a CREP farm. It has consistently held such a large number of birds that the owner started planting species of food that would benefit just as much during turkey season as they would during deer season. This has proved to be very beneficial as turkey numbers are increasing, and multiple birds have been harvested off this farm. Another unusual attribute of this property is the stocked pond. This has been an excellent bonus over the years. Providing a great off-season opportunity to enjoy the property. The approximate 50 acres of high ground that does not flood gives you multiple hunting options especially for spring turkey season if we happen to get lots of rain. If you are looking for a farm that has a documented history of producing record book deer in an area well known for its history of big deer, this is the one!! Call today for a private tour.
