FOR SALE BY OWNER: 65 acres mol of the best deer hunting land you can imagine! Mid-west Illinois is well known for it?s trophy whitetail deer, and this property is loaded with them. Located in north-west Calhoun Co. in the middle of the Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuge, big deer, turkey, quail, rabbits & squirrel abound. If you?re into duck & goose hunting, just look up, you?re on the Mississippi flyway. Calhoun is a long narrow county, no more than 15 miles at the widest point, and lies between the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers with public boat launching for either river only a 10 minute drive away. This easily huntable acreage is made up of mostly hard-wood timbered bluffs, oak, hickory , walnut, pecan, etc., with some CRP & a small corn or bean field.( These would make excellent cultivated food plots.) There is a fresh-water creek that runs through the middle of the property. There are many building sites, & telephone & electric service are already on the property. Water is available by hooking up to the rural water system, or an easily dug, shallow well. This acreage includes a cozy, comfortable cabin, with lights & heat, that as currently furnished, will sleep six. This your chance to own your own piece of a national wildlife refuge! Winter, spring , summer or fall, there is always something to do, from searching the creeks & fields for fossils & Indian relics, picking the wild blackberries, raspberries, nuts, mushrooms, & other wild food, gardening, hiking, making your own ATV trails ( you can finally get some use out of that 4-wheeler that?s been gathering dust in your garage!), to weekend camp-outs with the family, a 4-season retreat from the stress of daily life, &, of course, some of the best hunting that you will ever experience. As a bonus, the owner of this much land can receive FREE deer tags for himself & for every member of his immediate family. Plus, they would be exempt from having to purchase hunting licenses! And don?t forget that it?s only a 10 min. drive to either the Mississippi or Illinois River, for waterfowl hunting, boating, water skiing, clamming, picnicking on one of the many islands that dot both rivers, & FISHING! You can fish for bluegill, croppie, large- & small-mouth bass, walleye & pike, channel, flathead, spoonbill, & blue catfish, carp, perch & drum.
