The Harrison and Monona County areas are well known for their production of world class whitetail with many entries in the Boone and Crockett record books. This is a great property in the Loess Hills that offers something for everybody. These type of tracts are not offered very often. Close to Omaha, Nebraska and Sioux City, Iowa which are both good employment centers. It would make an excellent income farm with premier hunting opportunities. If you like big bucks and dream of managing deer on your own farm this one is your kind. This property offers mature timber mixed with thick underbrush, open areas, and a spring. The property will include a professionally planted food plot, elevated Banks Outdoors blinds, brand-new Lone Wolf stands and BossBuck feeder complete with a supply of BB2 by Big N J Industries.
A CRP contract has been in place for 20 years and is in its first year of another 10 year contract. It covers 75 acres of the farm and pays $9060 per year and leaves plenty of area for additional food plots or pasture.
I hunted this farm extensively last season and found it very easy to access and hunt in all wind conditions. The terrain on the farm includes a high saddle. If you have ever hunted a saddle, you know just how productive they are. Deer pass through this location at nearly all times of the day, but it's extremely productive during the rut. The deer never failed to put on a great show for us here. The action was constant.
Half of the CRP was burned this year to control the invasives. Some friends from the National Wild Turkey Federation hunted this tract in Spring of '09. They commented that it was some of the best turkey hunting they had ever experienced.
A former homestead site still exists on the property with 2 wells, gravel driveway and electric that is almost a quarter mile off the road! Adding a home or cabin would be very easy. This is a quiet country setting located on a blacktop road just north of Magnolia Iowa.
