255th Street , Rose Hill, IA 52586(Mahaska County)

Many of Iowa's greatest whitetails have come from our river systems. This secluded hunting farm lies halfway between Rose Hill and Fremont on a big bend of the famed Skunk River, one of the most notorious for growing big whitetails. It has $10,586 in annual income and offers that ideal blend of seclusion, food plot areas, and diverse cover that you should expect from a top-quality hunting property.I love that this farm has upland and bottomland habitat - two different yet important ecosystems for wildlife. Ridgetop field coves are wrapped in hardwood draws and hillsides, providing prime archery pinch points. The secluded river bottom is in an abyss of phenomenal cover, including tall grasses, shrubs, and trees. Recently, a field on the river bottom was reclaimed to farmland because the soils are ideal for growing crops. In total, there are 17 acres cash rented at $3,400 for this year.Forty acres in the Conservation Reserve program generate $7,186/year. Two food plots in the CRP have been approved through the Mahaska County USDA - one set up for northerly winds and the other for southerly. Most of this farm you can't see from the road, and it's tucked up in the corner of a big bend in the river. In addition to the whitetails, you can hunt small game, predators, and wild turkeys.Thanks to the internal trail system, you'll enjoy great access across the farm. I love offering these farms along the Skunk River because I know how dynamite they can be for hunting.
