Franklin County - 00 Locust Grove Road, Thompsonville, IL
Property Highlights:
2 Box Blinds
8-10 Tree Stands
Road Frontage on 2 sides for easy access in any wind
Potential Home Sites
Trail System
This is a nice 40 acres in a great area known for producing big deer. The property is in the northeast corner of Williamson County and is very close to Franklin, Saline, and Hamilton counties. The property consists of thick timber and deer trails going everywhere. The sellers are leaving two nice box blinds and 8-10 tree stands that are scattered around the property. If you look at the aerial, the property connects to a giant block of timber to the south, and deer traveling north, south, east, and west must go through this farm to reach the agricultural fields and the big block of timber to the north. I personally would put two food plots, one on the north and one on the south, to draw the deer in before they head to the big fields to eat. I would also push up all my trees around the edges of the food plots, allowing deer to enter and exit only one way past my stands.

80 Acres with Trophy Deer Hunting & Potential Lake & Home Sites Franklin County
Property Highlights:
30 Acres of Tillable (makes over $5000 a year in income)
1 New Box Blind
50 Acres of Mature Timber with Decent Timber Value to the New Owner
5-10-Acre Potential Lake Site
Creek
Established Food Plot
This 80 acres in Franklin County, Illinois, is in an area that gets overlooked because it's surrounded by mostly agriculture, and as you can tell from the trail pics, the big bucks love that. I personally would put the tillable land in CRP warm season grasses for more bedding and security, and leave the food plot where the seller has placed it on the north, and I would put a second food plot in the timber or on the south side in the fields. There is a great location for a possible 5-10-acre lake and some potential spots for a cabin or home overlooking the lake site. I have personally seen a 190-200" non-typical velvet about 5-6 years ago, only 3/4 of a mile from this 80 acres, so I know it produces some really big deer.
