The terrain, minimal pressure, pinpoint food plot designs, strategic entry and exit stand access, interior trail system, timber management, and an extensive amount of south facing bedding areas make up the short list of what makes this farm dynamic to the serious whitetail manager. This farm was crafted and improved over the years to enhance hunting effectiveness along with a long-term vision to hold and grow Boone and Crocket whitetails. Details below on what has roamed this whitetail paradise. Upon arrival, you will meander down the long rock lane to a one of a kind custom log home built in the center of the section. Vast dense timber and centralized grainplots have provided the herd with years and years of safety and nutrition year around. The current owner not only had a vision to target B&C bucks but also implement an off season plan over the years to pull and carry deer through the off season. Walk out your front door and experience some of the best whitetail hunting the midwest has to offer. Its not uncommon to have deer in the backyard on a daily basis all year long. In the winter months you can plan to see 35-70 deer per evening under the current program.

With edging transitioning to thick creek bottom cover allow the avid bowhunter endless possibilities for early season through November rut hunts, knowing any minute a giant could appear.

Its not uncommon to see 50 to 60 deer in the field during late season hunts on this farm. The countless amount of sheds (70 130 yearly), trail camera photos, and video footage make the history on this farm unmatched on the market.

From designing footplots, countless hours of TSI and habitat improvement projects over the past 12 years of history youre buying the best of the best in the heart of Iowa.
