There is a strong population of deer and turkey in the area and with a short tour of the property you’ll notice plenty of tracks and sign. Several areas offer excellent stand locations for deer by capitalizing on natural funnels made by the river and habitat. The future buyer would be able to divide the current CRP contract, should they want to take out some CRP acres to plant food plots or additional cover for wildlife. A CRP contract division would be subject to buyback payments.

For the waterfowl hunter, this property has approximately of a mile of Pecatonica River frontage. In addition, a natural slough is located on the south end of the property making the property an even more attractive stop for migrating birds.
