County Line Rd, Herrick, IL 62431

Not only did I see fanned toms on the way in, but enjoyed the sounds of bobwhites and rooster ringnecks while trecking this 57± acre tract in Shelby County that offers a location serious whitetail hunters look for when chasing mature Illinois bucks. The property is heavy on existing bedding cover and sets up well for future habitat improvements like food plots, fruit trees, and additional woody browse. Along the west boundary, Beck's Creek provides both a natural travel corridor for wildlife and a great spot to take the family fishing. There are also a couple sloughs on this property that are a perfect attraction for waterfowl. 45 acres of the land is currently enrolled in a CREP easement that expires 09/30/26, but the owner has applied for SAFE (State Acres For Wildlife Enhancement) program. As requested (and determined acceptable by FSA), this program would bring in $9,000+ annually for 15 years and it's in it's final stage of approvals.
