Rural Route 1, Box 121A, Pearl, IL 62361 - Pike County

This farm is simply the finest piece of hunting and income producing property on the market today.  The deer history, harvest record, and trail camera history are unrivaled. A strict management program and a limit on number of bucks harvested per season has been in effect for over 10 years allowing numerous bucks over 170 to be harvested. The habitat is the ideal mix of tillable and timber, and it has holding power that most other farms lack. We’re talking near 2 square miles of the most sought after land in the Midwest with access from the west, south and east from county roads. There is also a network of roads and trails that make the entire farm highly accessible. Several acres of food plots and perfectly placed agricultural fields provide ample food while the large lake and several ponds are ideal water sources. Several creeks wind through the property creating excellent bow hunting funnels. Tall grass and areas of thick timber hold the extremely dense deer population that this farm has year in and year out. Some hunts have recently produced deer sightings in excess of 75 deer per evening sit.  The deer sign is phenomenal with trails beat several inches into the dirt and dozens of large trees shredded amongst the active scrapes. If you haven’t hunted this farm, it’s likely that you’ve never seen anything like it.
