Duck hunters, check out this farm! Located approximately ½ mile away from the Cache River sits this ideal-sized hunting farm. With some quick research online and a few phone calls, you will learn that this area of Southern Illinois is known for quality waterfowl hunting. An extensive levee system on the property creates a shallow water impoundment encompassing over 14 acres. The current owner has literally harvested piles of ducks on the property (see pictures). Last fall, the owner drew down the water using the control structure, planted rice and then added water to it just in time for duck season. A hunting blind sits in the marsh and is perfect for a group of 3-4 hunters. Depending on wind direction that day, you can also wade into several different areas to hunt.

The property is enrolled in the Wetland Reserve Program (WRP). Over half of the property is rolling upland ground scattered in early successional, cedar thickets and mature hardwoods. That makes this farm very unique because this part of the property will be dry year-round. There are giant crop fields surrounding on two sides, so the deer have plenty of easily accessible food. If you are looking for a great, all-around hunting farm with quality duck hunting, you will want to see this one. Give Land Specialist Justin Mason a call today to schedule a private showing.
