110 Acres in Belknap, IL - $310,000
Here is a stellar hunting tract with income! Located in the Big Bay area of Southern Illinois, this farm has a layout that excites the deer hunter in all of us. From the aerial view, it’s easy to see that this farm is the central hub for local deer travel. Four different wooded hollows lead into the farm from the north and one big one leads in from the south. Any big buck that’s traveling the area during the rut will more than likely pass through this farm at some point. The terrain goes from gently rolling pasture fields on the east end, then forms the timbered ridges & hollows and then flattens out into the CRP fields on the west end.

This layout is great for bow or shotgun hunters. The timbered ridges offer plenty of pinch points and funnels, while the fields have lots of edge along with several smaller pockets and corners that are excellent ambush locations. The surrounding agriculture has created very predictable travel corridors as the deer move to feed on the neighboring row crops. The pocket fields and corners would make perfect food plot locations to catch these deer on their way to feed on neighboring agriculture fields. There are two grain bins on the property and both are in excellent shape. There is also an open sided barn that is perfect for storing tractors and equipment. Utilities are already established on the property as well as great building sites. If you’re looking for an excellent hunting tract that produces income, has utilities, great building sites and well-worn travel corridors, give us a call to schedule your private tour!
