A surefire way to miss out on an exceptional hunting opportunity is to take a quick glance at an aerial map and dismiss the property due to a perceived irregularity in conformity. This Putnam County, Missouri 80 acres is a farm that begs you to put boot leather on the ground to truly appreciate how special it is. This farm is positioned on the east edge of the 1,972 acre Mineral Hills Conservation Area, southeast of Unionville. On a map, the property appears to be split into two 40 acres parcels, separated by part of the conservation area. There is an old road bed (which was closed years ago) that runs along the eastern edge of the property and joins the two parcels. The pictures will clearly show that this access is outstanding and you can easily walk, ride an ATV, or navigate a tractor & equipment between them. The deer & turkey sign here is very impressive. This primarily timbered farm is made up of towering white & red oaks with pockets of cedar thickets throughout. There are four distinct open areas that consist of native warm-season grasses that would make phenomenal food plot areas. This encompasses about 10% of the total property acreage. When you walk or hunt here the rolling topography will make this property feel like twice its size. The creek bottoms running through the farm show significant deer crossings, with the banks simply mudded up from repeated use. The north end of the property runs close to Blackbird Creek. The south end of the farm borders row crop fields planted by the conservation department. The deer trails leading to the crops from the bedding thickets on this farm are something you would dream of for ambush sites. The timber value on this property is particularly noteworthy. Big white & red oaks throughout, with a significant number of mature walnuts along the creeks on the north end of the farm. Hunting access is primarily along the east side of the property which is excellent considering the predominantly westerly winds in the area. Your scent would rarely blow into the property and help keep you undetected. There is a creek that runs north & south through the conservation area, just on the west side of this property. This creek is wide, deep, and steep. It effectively closes off the land between the two 40s here. There are also four man-made watering holes for wildlife that would make for excellent stand sites. By buying this 80, you will have access to a significant number of additional acres to hunt! There is a steel garage that measures 30'x56'. Half of it has a concrete floor and there is a 200 amp electric service run to it. This farm deserves your attention. Please call David Brothers to schedule a personal tour at (660) 240-3243.
