Park Hills Road, Lot #WP003, Kerrick, MN 55756 - Pine County

This beautiful parcel is tucked back against the Nemadji State Forest where a 33’ wide, ¼-mile long easement provides access to this hidden gem. The property has a professional custom habitat management plan written specifically to increase the deer numbers and the age class of bucks. This plan was first implemented in 2013 and the current owners have seen great results. Several nice deer have been taken off the property and there have been huge black bear on the trail cameras. There is a pond about 100 feet inside the property access. Follow the road along the right side of the pond and you’ll find a pavilion style roof. Another nearby clearing among some mature oak trees is in an ideal location for a future cabin. There is a long and narrow 2-acre food plot next to some thick bedding cover in the northeast corner of the property. A bend in the center of the plot has deer flowing back and forth to scent check for a possible doe in estrus or any nearby danger. There is also about a ½-acre food plot on the far (east) side of the pond, right as you enter the property. Another 2.5-acre food plot sits along the Lower Tamarack River which runs through the north end of this parcel. Some strategic and selective logging was also performed to thicken up the understory, and create excellent native forbs and shrubs for browse as well as quality cover. Another food plot about 3 acres in size was placed along the edge of the selective logging. The thick regrowth of the selective cut holds the deer close to this awesome plot. There are also two additional food plots on the property. The mature timbered areas are primarily made up of scattered mature oaks, aspen and spruce. Well groomed trails designed for low impact/pressure will allow for easy access to and from your stands. As part of the habitat management plan, hinge-cutting and spruce plantings were utilized to create ideal bedding cover in strategic locations and to keep the deer up wind from the food plot and stand locations. Spruce trees were also planted to create a blocking effect on the road and trail system to prevent the deer from knowing each time you enter. Another awesome future food source on the property is a planting of 17 apple and pear trees, each in an individual fence. There were also 12 chestnut trees and 24 oak trees planted ranging from 2-4 years old. The Habitat-Whitetail management plan and aerial photo that goes with it come with the sale of the property. This is truly a turn-key property and if the management plan is followed, many quality bucks will be taken off this property in the future.
