Highly Affordable and Isolated Hunting Property with Serious Big Buck Potential If having your own private hunting property is a priority, and affordability is key, this is the property for you. The 120 contiguous acres offers a tremendous amount of security cover the local deer population will certainly find attractive. The visionary deer hunter will see potential for a number of strategically placed food plots that will offer year-round food sources the local deer herd will find very attractive. The property features bunch of red willow, oak flats and other mature trees in and around low ground, most of which could work for foot-plot implementation. Much like an overgrown pasture, the east 40 is already largely opened up requiring a bit of grooming before food can be planted. But it’s nearly ready. The secluded nature of this entire area promotes low hunting pressure, which only enhances the deer manager’s ability to grow and hold trophy-class whitetails. Oh, and there are piles of turkeys in the area, too. There is a fine landing spot for a remote, off-grid deer camp, even a potential home-build site to the motivated developer. The property isn’t terribly far from modern convenances either. Kettle River is only 7 miles to the east, 22 miles to McGregor, 20 miles southeast of Cromwell and less than an hour from Duluth. Plus, there are a number of highly popular snowmobile trails in the area. The property is accessible through two easements, one from the south hay field the seller has already established and one from the northwest off of Brown Road.
