Cave In Rock, IL 62919 - Hardin County

275 acres of prime deer and turkey hunting in Hardin County, Illinois. The property is in an area call "Peters Creek" just off of highway 146. This property consists of rolling hills with a mixture of crop fields, woods, and 6 small ponds. The northern part of the property has a 65 acre field which is being cropped on a rotational basis. An additional 26 acre field further south is planted to standing corn food plots and a large round up ready Alfalfa field. When entering the driveway off of Hwy 146, you enter into the original homestead. There is an old barn and grain bin that sits near the entrance to the property. The beautiful hand hewn beams, old metal and hardwood can be utilized for other building projects or decor for a home or lodge. Your imagination can run wild with what you can do with this old barn wood and grain bin. As a 25 year outfitter and managing and chasing Whitetails my entire life, I can say this farm sits up perfectly for the deer hunter. One major reason for this is the 25-30 acres of hidden fields in the back 3/4 of the property. All the woods are super thick with White Oaks and Red Oaks dropping acorns and mast. Additionally, there are numerous ponds and creeks throughout the property. A landowner can have the front of the property in crops bringing in income while also planting the back 26 acres to Alfalfa, Imperial Clover, Brassica, Winter Wheat, turnips, beets etc. The layout of the land is what makes this a deer and turkey hunters dream property. A few hunters hunted the property in 2023 and all were blown away with the number of deer and turkey sightings but especially with the big bucks on this property. Giant rubs and large scrapes are very prevalent and can be seen throughout the property. There are three different entry points for access. This is a rare, premier whitetail and turkey property. If you are in the deer/turkey recreation market, this property should be at the top of your list. Give me a call for a tour.
