This farm is located in one of the highest Boone& Crockett producing areas of Iowa. It has a great mix of farmland, food plots, ponds, and secure cover that grows and holds mature deer. Bordered by CRP and timber. With the exception of the property to the south, this farm has all the food! The owner has paid careful attention to every detail in providing everything a whitetail hunter would want, especially a STRICT RULE that anything less than 3 1/2 years old walks. This is a phenomenal farm with serious whitetail hunting. The aerial and trail cam photos provide detail on the terrain and deer herd. With twists and turns, ridges and valleys everywhere you look, it's not hard to see why this farm is producing such incredible deer!

This is what a managed whitetail paradise should look like; true Boone & Crockett class bucks everywhere.


The Loess Hills:

Loess is a unique soil type. It was formed when glaciers crushed rock to a powder-fine consistency.
