Tall native grasses, including Indian grass, big bluestem and switchgrass, dominate the landscape, along with shallow ponds and wetland areas, bottomland timber, brushy fencelines and an established alfalfa food plot that provides a reliable food source. While filming the property, pheasants were flushing consistently from the tall grass.Its also a strong setting for introducing new hunters to the outdoors. The owner has enjoyed this property with friends and family for years, not just for hunting but for beekeeping and spending time on the land. Properties with legitimate wild pheasant potential, direct adjacency to a major WMA, and quick Highway 30 access rarely come available. If youre looking for a hunting property with great wild pheasant hunting, waterfowl, turkey and whitetail opportunity, this one deserves serious consideration.Contact Land Specialist Ben Harshyne with Whitetail Properties Real Estate for a private tour.
