Here is a great opportunity to hunt and enjoy a great combination farm on the famed Bear Creek in Hancock County, Illinois. The combination of good tillable, open pastureland, and wildlife rich Bear Creek bottom makes this farm a real jewel. Zoom out on an aerial map of this farm and you will soon notice that Bear Creek and the surrounding area has the habitat and topography it takes to hold large mature whitetails. There are several areas on the farm that could be converted into food plots. The middle of the farm has an obvious pinch point that most likely would lead to many successful hunts. East of the Bear would be the place for a classic Illinois creek bottom rut hunt. A south and east facing brushy draw would offer ideal thermal cover to hold them when temps get cold. Another great attribute to the farm is having road access from the west and south. Many areas on west side to build...
