I have personally hunted in and around this section my entire life and can tell you first hand that it is killer hunting and management. The section is full of very large landowners (multiple up to 900+ acres) that put very little pressure on their farms and manage for B&C whitetails, with multiple B&C class being harvested on a yearly basis. This property could easily be converted back to “low fence” and you would be sitting pretty for a smoking tract of land in the county everyone wants to be in! Call for details.
