87 +/- acres with a great layout. Property has red oaks and other hardwoods through out. The tree line behind the farm house is high ground offering great visibility of the fields to the east and west. Put your stand in the middle of the woods to get the deer traveling through the woods or on the woods edges on either side for open field shooting. Neighbor has corn in the field south of the woods behind the farm house that is one big food plot. Deer sign everywhere. Woods on west side are heavy in spots. Do not use the driveway at the farm house. There is a road on the south end of property that is in pretty good shape and goes all the way to the western end of the property. This is the only road allowed to be used. Landowner cuts hay for income so he does not want arrows left in the fields. Any damage caused to hay equipment by errant arrows will most likely result in landowner cancelling lease and leasing agreement with HLN. There is a small screened in dwelling in the woods that is not to be used and is off limits. Easy 1 hour drive from Green bay.

This property is split into 2 parcels. One south of Freele Rd. and the other on the north side of Freele Rd. Approx 75 +/- acres on the north parcel. Heavy woods on the northwest portion of the property has lots of deer sign. The rest of the property consists of hay ground that hasn't been cut, and strips of pine trees. The strips of pine trees have numerous deer tails through and along them and are great stand locations. There is a gate to get onto the property (Northern parcel) that is shut and should remain shut when no one is hunting on the property. Pictures below show entry gate and how it should be opened as per owner. Southern parcel is approx. 73 +/- acres. The southern parcel has a long tree line on the south side of Freele Rd. that would be excellent for a number of stands. The woods on the southeast are not overly thick so these would make for excellent bow stand set up. This property can easily accommodate 4 hunters. Approx. one hour north of Green Bay. Owner gets income selling the hay off of this property so it is extremely important no arrows be left in these hay fields. Issues will errant arrows getting into hay equipment or causing any equipment damage will most likely result in landowner terminating lease and the leasing agreement with HLN. Plenty of parking space at back of driveway by barns. Please do not block driveway.

Nice 82 +/- acres. This property is spread out and is on both sides of Fenske Rd. Deer are traveling from the woods on the western parcel into the fields to the south. Wooded area contains hardwoods and has numerous oaks. Quite a few rubs in the woods. Numerous well traveled tree lines that would be great for stands and open shooting on the east parcels. The parcel on the southwest portion attracts all types of waterfowl. Neighbors property to the west has ponds that are frequently visited by waterfowl. The cranes pictured in the field flew into the ponds when I was there then left the ponds and landed in the field on the south west parcel. This field would be great for decoy set up. Landowner may allow a camper. Columbia County is one of those counties with high demand for good hunting property. Lots of turkey activity on this property during the spring. Columbia Co. is located in the Southern Farmland Zone 2.

Diverse property offering all legal game. Lots of deer taken off of this property over the years. Plenty of hillsides for stands and great ground blind areas. Crops consist of corn and beans. As like many Amish farms the edges of the crop ground have clover growing. Deer love clover so setting up along field edges should give plenty of opportunities. Landowner might agree to food plots with prior approval.. Property is accessed by an easement which is on the east side of the driveway. There is a t-post where the easement is. Please make sure to drive east a bit onto the leased property. An ATV with a small plow will help keep access to the easement open if there is substantial snow. There may be additional parking across the road. Please do not drive farther up the driveway than the easement. Please no parking on the driveway. Landowner might allow camping or a small camper with landowner approval in advance. This property is oddly shaped so please do best to pay attention to property lines. Call Joe before bidding 715-891-1228. Thanks

Very affordable 40 acre tract in Wayne County, IL This property is a travel route for the deer. Bucks will be using this hedge row on the north side of the lease to travel looking for does. Look at the zoomed out aerial. These deer use all of these hedge rows and ditches to travel and stay close to structure when traveling across these big crop fields. I really like that NW inside corner for a stand location. Lots of deer sign around these edges. Lodging is available at the Briarwood Inn and great meals at Five Brothers Restaurant. Both are only minutes away in Fairfield, IL This lease is a 1 year term, unless the auction ends after September 1. In that event, the lease will end August 1 of the following year, resulting in less than 1 year term.

Laying right on the Little Wabash River in Wayne County, IL This tract neighbors some of the finest hunting land in all of Wayne County. Many big bucks are reported to have come from this area over the years. You will need a small jon boat or canoe to access the acreage on the west side of the river. this small section could be worth the entire price of the lease. This will for sure be a little honey hole. Don't overlook the small portion of timber and the little draw that sticks out just to the northwest of the buildings. Reports of many deer seen in this area of the property. There are plenty of treestand set options in this area. Lodging is available at the Briarwood Inn and great meals at Five Brothers Restaurant.

This tract is all about LOCATION. Simply looking at the only the aerial map of this property, a person may question the quality of this lease. However, sometimes the location of the property ways more on the value of a property than the amount of timber, etc...Quite frankly, location can sometimes be the most important factor in killing big bucks. Look at the zoomed out aerial and notice that this property connects the north end of the two biggest blocks of timber in the area. There is a ton of sign indicating a major crossing. This will be increase when they start moving more during the early phases of the rut. This lease will produce opportunities. When you have some timber in the right location and you mix in a quality deer herd with a above average deer density, this little corner of habitat could produce big for the sportsman willing to give it a chance. I have been known to say that the right hedge row in Illinois could be worth more than 100 acres of timber if the location is right. The neighboring properties have a history of producing some giants. These big bucks don't know the property lines and from the sign around these field edges, it will just be a matter of time before one makes a mistake this Fall.

Great property in Wayne County just west of Fairfield, IL Very good mix of timber surrounded by CRP and row crops. The CRP has a lot of clover in it and the deer are really using it. There was a lot of sign around the timber and in the fields. Corn on 2 sides of the tract this year. This tract holds deer and should attract more once the rut starts. 3 very good potential stand locations. Landowner reports seeing several deer using the farm on many different occasions. Everyone in the area is always asking to hunt this tract. Access is very good off of blacktop and around field edge to timber.
