Temple Hill Road , Metropolis, IL 62960(Pope County)

This is a great all timber hunting tract located in an area known for producing big bucks! This property really stands out amongst other all timber hunting tracts. There are plenty of mast producing hardwoods, areas of thick saplings and honeysuckle, an ample supply of water and very hunter friendly topography. There are two main ridges and a hollow that run through the farm in an east-west direction. The ridges have plenty of mast producing hardwoods and several areas that thicken up with saplings and honeysuckle. These thicker areas are ideal ridge side bedding locations and have plenty of sign to confirm these bedding sites. The hollow has a large rock bottom creek that flows down the middle providing plenty of water for the local wildlife. Another major attraction this farm has for deer is how its layout relates to the neighboring row crop fields to the north and west. The main hollow leads right out to the neighboring row crops to the west. The well-worn deer trails reveal how deer use the topography to go from bedding in the ridges and hollows to feed in these neighboring ag fields. The same ridge side bedding areas are set up perfect for deer to bed and use a north wind to access the neighboring ag fields to the north. The farm also sets up great for rut hunting. The hollow is a main travel corridor and hub for deer activity. This creates an ideal area for bucks to cruise and check the numerous trails leading in and out of the areas ag fields. There is over ½ mile of road frontage that runs along the north and west sides. This provides plenty of entry points to access favored stand locations.
