These more open tracts tend to be overlooked by whitetail hunters, and this property Is a perfect example of why they shouldn’t. A majority of the open acres on this farm are currently enrolled in CRP at various rates and contract lengths. The CRP income is substantial from an investment standpoint and adds habitat diversity, attracting wildlife, including a strong upland bird population. The deer use the CRP also, but it also causes them to move across the property more predictably. Three all-season springs on the property provide year-round water access for all the wildlife. Hewett Creek flows across the NW corner of the property. This stream is well known for the stretch through Ensign Hollow (Upstream from this property), managed for naturally reproducing and trophy-sized Brown Trout. The property lies near the small towns of Volga, Elkader, and Strawberry Point. This county area is well known for large deer and turkey populations and trophy-sized bucks. A large, well-managed property borders this farm on the East side, and it is not uncommon for some of the bigger deer on that property to show themselves here and at opportune times of the year. Excellent all-season access to the property is a breeze from Saint Sebald Road, and a five-spot private camper site with water, electricity, and sewer greets you at the property entrance. This area would also make an excellent location for a new home, cabin, or lodge with little to no risk of altering the current hunting patterns. As you can see in the pictures, great views will be a priceless feature here.
