Ifdesired, the current owner will rent the farming rights for $250 per acre for the 2015 crop year\. In addition to the income, the crop fields are the only grain crops in the entire section, and the farm is surrounded by pasture, ensuring this property is a major draw for all the deer and turkey in the area\. The rolling terrain creates several secluded pockets of pristine deer habitat, and the slopes are ideal bedding sanctuaries for the predominate wind directions\. Even still, a Timber Stand Improvement project will be completed before spring of 2015, which will further enhance the already thick understory for improved Whitetail Habitat and bedding cover\. Large food plots are tucked tight to the timber, and provide year round food sources to ensure the heard health is at its peak\. Late Season hunting is phenomenal with typical evenings seeing no less than 18 to 20 deer\. The 2 Ponds and nice seasonal creek running through the length of the property add to its beauty while rounding out the necessities to grow and hold mature Iowa bucks\. As with all of his farms, the owner has taken extensive care to ensure minimal human intrusion, and has been managing for trophy bucks for several years\. Seclusion is essential to managing for mature whitetails. The limited frontage, gated access, and watchful neighbor ensures this is the case on this Union county farm\. The crossings have been improved on this property, to ensure your equipment can reach all necessary points of the farm, and the fences have been repaired or replaced throughout\. The newly created access road through the thick timber has been planted to a lush green source and serves a dual purpose road and food plot\. With the majority of the timber in the section and very little hunting competition from neighboring landowners, this is a fantastic hunting farm\. In addition, the Neighboring landowner to the south has allowed access to the farm through his land for hunting\. There are strong 10 & 12 point genetics in this area, and a 184 Gross Boone and Crocket buck was killed in 2011 off this farm.A 164? buck was harvested on video in 2012 and the owner's 10 year old daughterharvested a 150? management buck in 2014\. Several very nice bucks were passed during the 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons all building up to what will be a fantastic 2015 hunting season\. The owner is anticipating there to be several 170" trophy class bucks on this farm this fall\. Just look at the trail cam photos to get an idea of the potential of the young bucks on this property\. With limited pressure, loads of giant bucks, and all the habitat necessary for a thriving deer herd, this property is fantastic to hunt at all times of the year, and there is more daylight buck activity than the owner has previously encountered on any of his other farms\.

This is another enhancement which will add to the recreational use of the land, and also aid to funnel the deer directly into the access road food plot which winds through the main timber on the property\.
