The owner of this property began managing it for quality hunting many years ago as noticed in the photos. Approximately 24 acres are leased to a local farmer for soybeans or corn (annual income of $3,360). One of the fields planted is a 4-acre parcel that is surrounded by mature white spruce on one side and younger white spruce on the other. Elevated hunting blinds and ladder stands are strategically located on the field’s edge and along major deer trails all through the woods to intercept unsuspecting mature bucks as they travel through the property with confidence and ease. Bear in mind that the owner stopped using trail cameras a number of years ago in a successful attempt to create a comfort zone for every deer within miles. And when pressure from other hunters occurs as they head to their woods, this hunter sneaks into position without disturbing a thing. He plays the wind right and...
The owner of this property began managing it for quality hunting many years ago as noticed in the photos. Approximately 24 acres are leased to a local farmer for soybeans or corn (annual income of $3,360). One of the fields planted is a 4-acre parcel that is surrounded by mature white spruce on one side and younger white spruce on the other. Elevated hunting blinds and ladder stands are strategically located on the field’s edge and along major deer trails all through the woods to intercept unsuspecting mature bucks as they travel through the property with confidence and ease. Bear in mind that the owner stopped using trail cameras a number of years ago in a successful attempt to create a comfort zone for every deer within miles. And when pressure from other hunters occurs as they head to their woods, this hunter sneaks into position without disturbing a thing. He plays the wind right and uses the blind that makes the most sense for that day based on its conditions. Deer and turkeys are watched at virtually any time of every day in great numbers. The property is located just south of a year-round stream and within a short distance of many farmed fields. A natural corridor to this property keeps local deer local and during the rut bucks can be seen regularly working the many does held on the land. Any given evening will provide views of 20 to 30 deer at a time. In the winter, that number increases substantially because the cover is perfect and there is a constant source of food. The quality of harvests continues to get better and success comes almost too fast! The small white spruce stand, planted many years ago, was in a managed forest program. That MFL program has since expired and the stand of spruce has been marked for a thinning of every 4th row of trees. The money generated from the sale of the timber will go to the seller but the biggest benefit of the thinning is the opening of the woods to allow more sunlight and increase growth, thereby enhancing the land and cover even more. Take a good long look at the trails in the forested area. Those constantly used pathways are as wide as they look. The property is also located not very far from several game bird operations. Many of those released birds are not harvested. As such, the grassy area located between the farm field and the woods fills with pheasants and quail; perfect for training a dog or taking a walk with your shotgun. Since the landowners in the area all practice QDM the deer can grow up, evidenced by the owner’s success. 2017 will provide standing corn in both fields, what a year it will be. The owners’ biographies add value to this parcel, too. Their family has been involved with the Oconto River Bowman’s Club from its inception in the 1960s, parents being of the founding members. She, now the club President and he a member of the board. Their involvement in the outdoors would be hard to duplicate. From being a competitive shooting family, including his mother being a former Wisconsin State Archery Champion, the influence of the outdoors and the people they associate with helped to create a most wonderful place to hunt and enjoy. Walk the woods in the spring and pick mushrooms by the basketful. Sit at the edge of the field with a camera and enjoy wildlife as it exists naturally. But when hunting season is upon you, pick up your bow or your rifle and get ready for success. This place is hunter’s dream come true. Every step in this woods shows signs of life. Assured, this one will rank as a “Wow” when you see it.
