Dynamic Terrain, Top Shelf Management, and World Class Whitetail Hunting! Located in Lucas County, Iowa lies “A Whitetail Sanctuary”. This turnkey 348 deeded-acre whitetail mecca was set up for the avid bowhunter targeting world-class whitetails. The terrain, minimal pressure, pinpoint food plot designs, strategic entry and exit stand access, interior trail system, timber management, and an extensive amount of south-facing bedding areas make up the short list of what makes this farm dynamic to the serious whitetail manager. This farm was crafted and improved over the years to enhance hunting effectiveness, along with a long-term vision to hold and grow Boone and Crocket whitetails. Details below on what has roamed this whitetail paradise.

Upon arrival, you will meander down the long rock lane to a one-of-a-kind custom log home built in the center of the section. Vast dense timber and centralized grain plots have provided the herd with years and years of safety and nutrition year-round. The current owner not only had a vision to target B&C bucks but also implemented an off-season plan over the years to pull and carry deer through the off-season.  Walk out your front door and experience some of the best whitetail hunting the Midwest has to offer. It’s not uncommon to have deer in the backyard daily all year long. In the winter months, you can plan to see 35-70 deer per evening under the current program. As you tour the farm, you will see big hardwood timber oak ridges, native grasses, fertile bottom foodplots, a tremendous amount of thick south-facing bedding thickets created by TSI improvements, and abundant cover. The cover on this farm is one that you have to see in person to appreciate, with years of hard work spent improving the habitat.

The terrain creates numerous bottleneck pitch points deep in the bottoms, allowing for close-range combat on those November mornings. Road access on the farm comes from three locations, giving you strategic access no matter the wind or situation. With edging transitioning to thick creek bottom cover, the avid bowhunter has endless possibilities for early season through November rut hunts, knowing any minute a giant could appear. Late-season grain plots have been planted in secluded locations close to cover to allow deer to bed close and utilize grains to rebuild after the tough rut conditions. It’s not uncommon to see 50 to 60 deer in the field during late-season hunts on this farm. The countless amount of sheds (70 – 130 yearly), trail camera photos, and video footage make the history on this farm unmatched on the market. The idea was thoroughly thought through at the time of purchase an open slate was evolved. From designing footplots, countless hours of TSI and habitat improvement projects over the past 12 years of history you’re buying the best of the best in the heart of Iowa.
