Whitetail Properties Real Estate is honored to bring to the market this world-class whitetail hunting and recreational farm situated in the iconic, Loess Hills of Western Iowa. Welcome to Hogback Hills.This farm has an ideal 1/3 to 2/3 ratio of production/tillable acres to timber/habitat acres that savvy combination farm buyers are looking for. These tillable acres and established alfalfa fields are a core destination for deer in the area. It would be common to see +30 deer pour into these fields from your stand on any given night. The ridges and hillsides that make up this farm are a combination of mature hardwood timber, native grasses and red cedar thickets.

The expert land managers at Land & Legacy have developed a full-scale habitat management plan specific to this farm that transfers to the new owner. The current owners and land stewards have been executing on this plan for the last two years and that work has already started to pay off. The land improvements include: Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) to enhance bedding cover Establishment of sanctuaries near food sources Year-round food source availability through establishment of food plots and increase in natural forbes and nutritional browse Reduction of red cedar thicket monoculture Strategic use of fire to re-establish native grasses and forbes Increased habitat and cover from old field managementThe hilly topography and mature timber offers ideal funnels for up close bow hunts.
