Fulton County 254 is one of the most diverse properties we have ever seen. This property truly offers great hunting opportunities for giant Spoon River bottom whitetails, upland game hunting and duck and goose hunting. There are also 74 acres of productive tillable ground that will generate a solid annual income.This property is also being offered as a 200 acre tract. The central portion of the property was planted into a mixture of hardwood trees: Oak, Hickory, Walnut, and River Birch. The trees are 15 to 30 feet tall and super thick. The trees are surrounded by Native warm season grasses, which hold and harbor deer, and approximately 10 acres of CREP allowance of food plot plantings. The drainage ditches and water control structures are already in place and provide a constant supply of fresh water. The surrounding properties are primarily made up of highly productive tillable ground. With this mix of land, there is absolutely no reason for a mature whitetail to ever leave this property. The deer sign throughout the entire property is simply mind blowing. Take a look at the bucks that are currently living here, and frequently caught on camera in daylight hours Whitetail habitat: This property is located close to Havana, where the Spoon River joins the Illinois River. The Spoon River is and always has been an outstanding big buck producer in the state of Illinois. It provides a diverse habitat and long travel corridor for trophy whitetails to live and hide. The Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge sits just across the Spoon River and provides a huge sanctuary that holds and harbors some outstanding whitetails and a tremendous amount of waterfowl. Waterfowl opportunities: With this property being located just across the Spoon River from Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge and only miles from Chataqua Wildlife Refuge, you are guaranteed to be close to hundreds of thousands of migrating waterfowl each and every year.

There is a 20 acre tillable field that sits in the center of this property. With a series of levees, dykes, and the fairly simple installation of a well and electric pump station, this 20 acre field could easily become an impressive flooded corn field and the highlight of any water-fowlers dream property. Upland Game Habitat: The Native Prairie grasses, shrubs, thickets, and ag fields on this property already boast a tremendous number of Bob White Quail. It is so hard and rare to find properties that already have and hold multiple coveys of quail in Illinois, and Wild pheasants were once abundant in this area.
