A mostly row crop and grass draw 160-acre property. This lease is Iowa rolling hills that gives it some seclusion, I could not see the pond from the road, but the corn was still in too. The larger pond had plenty of sign that deer are coming into drink and strolling the edge. I did not venture around the entire pond, just the dam area. On google earth it shows a small silt pond above the larger pond, that could be a nice buck hangout. Plenty of grass to bird hunt this place, pheasants are plentiful around this area. I do also wonder what was over the hill going west, a secluded finger draw that would also be a nice bedding area for a few deer.
