This hunting lease is leased and not available.
This is a very nice farm being offered for lease in Joe Daviess County. The property sits on a road that has minimal traffic. In fact, I don't believe I saw one car pass through while I was there inspecting with the landowner. The property is made up of timber, row crops, alfalfa, water, and pasture ground. The landowner has had great lessees and wonderful relationship with them for the past seven years, unfortunately age and health caught up with them. He is looking to foster that same type of relationship with the new lessees. He does not allow any archery hunting at all; I've already spoken to him about this. There will be around 10 to 12 head of cattle of the farm from 1 May though the end of October and he simply does not want any hunting during that time, as it's worked out for both him and the previous lessees. As you will see in the photos, there are plenty of places to hang a stand. The east side of the farm has row crops planted and the west side has alfalfa planted along the border, and adjoining the alfalfa are row crops, which is one adjoining landowner. There is a nice year-round stream that runs through the property, providing water for not only the deer but all wildlife. This lease is for 3 guys, so it breaks down to only $1,066 per hunter. Again, the landowner is a super nice guy and is looking to build a long-term relationship with the new lessees.
