Property Details
ALL legal hunting with both GUN & BOW during the total of all deer seasons is allowed, as well as fishing on the Galena River during those hunting seasons. Add in the spring turkey five(5) week seasons, gives one a lot of hunting and fishing days afield on this 237 acre river bottom Jo Daviess County farm. This landowner has a total of 1500 acres, the remainder south and west of this piece.
Picture of a decent mature buck harvested on this property, fall of 2022, the only deer harvested that year. No need to go to Saskatchewan.
From 800+ foot ridgetops, with those ridge running bucks, down to the Galena River bottom land and a old railroad bed, gives wildlife great exposure to the diversity in the topography of the property. Agricultural planting is typically in good mid-west corn or alternating with beans. No interior fencing gives the hunter and wildlife good access to travel the whole property. Multiple access spots on both sides of the road are welcoming to get into this farm. If one does get this lease, make sure you talk to me about ingress.
This property has been hunted by the same neighbor for almost 13 years prior to last season, who recently moved. I met with the landowner first to get a tour of the farm and then with the prior hunter. The inside hunting history was priceless. He is planning on leaving multiple ladder stands and a Redneck elevated blind, if so, you may use them.
Landowner requests no nails or screw-in ladder stands. ATV use is fine for hunting purposes only. Landowner will allow a camper/5th wheel on the property during the hunting seasons.
Bid includes the $2M liability policy.
