Here is your opportunity to own a farm in the heart of big buck country! Johnson County is one of the top B&C counties in Southern Illinois. Right now the farm is serving as an excellent bedding area for the local deer herd. Over the past 20 years, this farm has grown from a rolling pasture to a mega bedding thicket. The timber is all relatively small and thick, and some of the old fence rows are still intact offering excellent locations to hang tree stands. If you are into food plots, there are tons of areas that could be planted to draw in more deer. Tucked back behind the bedding thicket is a gorgeous bluff line with huge rock outcroppings. When you climb out onto the rocks you can literally see for miles. Two farm ponds offer water for the wildlife and also some incredible bass fishing, according to the owner. There is a metal building in good shape that’s being used for equipment st...

There is a metal building in good shape that’s being used for equipment storage. An old homesite sits near the entrance, and would make an excellent place to build a small getaway cabin. Give me a call today, this is one of those farms you don't want to miss. It may just be your big-buck ticket this deer season.
