LEWIS COUNTY MO 74: Catron
When I first looked at this aerial, I saw a largely tillable property that offered average deer hunting at best. Then I backed off from that aerial and looked at the adjoining properties, and my thoughts quickly changed!
Northeast MO offers some of the best deer hunting in the Show-me-state, and this 74+/- acres in Lewis County is a farm I would put up with the best of them.
To the savvy hunter, the advantages of hunting whitetails on this property are obvious: this is one big funnel! The adjoining properties to the east, west (listed for sale by PFRG, see Lewis county MO 193) and north have large blocks of timber and brush, and this 74+/- acres has small draws that connect to these areas, creating perfect ambush spots. Big bucks are going to cruise this property in search of does; you just have to be there when they pass through! Access to the farm is from the east, so westerly winds ...

The adjoining properties to the east, west (listed for sale by PFRG, see Lewis county MO 193) and north have large blocks of timber and brush, and this 74+/- acres has small draws that connect to these areas, creating perfect ambush spots. Big bucks are going to cruise this property in search of does; you just have to be there when they pass through! Access to the farm is from the east, so westerly winds are always in your face as you approach stand sites. In a perfect world, leave some standing grain and in the late season, you may run into a giant!
If you are like most buyers, income from a property is important, if not necessary. The 65+/- acres of tillable ground provide a nice income of $11,700.00, and the current farmer will agree contractually for three years to this cash rent price of 180.00 per acre. When you combine that with a $20.00 per acre hunting lease, you have a return on investment of 4.45%! You want to hunt the farm without intrusion? No worries as you still have a 3.95% return at asking price! This is unheard of on a property with this quality of hunting!
