Equality, ILGallatin County

A 76 acre tract of mostly timber, sitting in Southeastern Gallatin County, Illinois.

A county known for producing giant midwestern whitetails. The hardwoods on the east side of Salt Well Road is a beautiful stand of hardwood timber. There is a lot of white and red oak as well as hickory, elm and maple.

The mixed hardwood forest had a timber stand improvement completed approximately 13 years ago enriching the hardwoods progress since the last timber harvest, which was more than 20 years ago. A future select cut timber harvest could help off-set the cost of the property. The acreage on the West side of the road is a good stand of early growth timber.

There is overall great habitat on this tract with areas of thick bedding cover, water, and food. The neighboring crop fields are a great food source and this property benefits from them. The deer trails on this farm are heavily traveled and crisscross the property.

A managed hunting lease program was implemented on the property nine years ago. The lessees have practiced deer management and only harvested mature bucks. With thousands of acres of Shawnee National Forest to the south, you never know what kind of buck may show up. This property definitely has the opportunity to produce the buck of a lifetime not to mention the overabundant turkey population and the waterfowl opportunities that exist with the Saline River forming the northeast property line.

There is a really nice spot on the south side of Saltwell Road to park a RV or possibly put in a hunting cabin. It is easy to envision a hunting camp and world-class hunting out your front or back doors.

Don't miss out on this great opportunity to purchase your own little slice of hunting heaven.
