Natural Funnel

Located on Deeded Easement
Small tracks like this don't hit the market very often. These 11 acres are a natural funnel from the big cover to the north and the timber to the south. The deer travel along the interstate like crazy. This area is known for large deer because they live so close to Mount Vernon, where most people don't hunt, and the bucks get old living in the neighborhoods. There is a small pond that wildlife loves to use. I personally would make a 2-3 acre food plot and push up all the treetops to pinch the deer past my stands. The seller was hunting the big 10 pt in the trail pictures 2025 but was not killed, along with multiple other good bucks. He ultimately took that really nice mature 8 pt off the 11 acres in 2025. All trail pics are from 2025. Farms like this make great spots, like a backup farm to your bigger farm or for someone's first farm to purchase.
