Scheider Road, Lot #WP001 , Freeport, IL 61032(Stephenson County)

The property was acquired because known big bucks in the immediate area. This is a very unique smaller property that hunts like a larger parcel because of the fingers and knolls of higher land. Abundant wildlife includes deer, turkeys, ducks, geese, squirrels and there is northern pike in the river Little Richard Creek that acts for the boundary for much the property. This property was professionally developed by a leading deer management company Habitat Solutions. A 3-year plan was implemented and put into place and has been followed. The current owner has put in extensive time and effort to improve this property for future deer and wildlife abundance and to capitalize on deer habitat, food and shelter. Among those improvements are food plots, timber management, removing invasive species of trees and shrubs and new plantings of trees and clover that draw in deer. Over 300 trees and shrubs have been planted including 15 large  (10 ft.) Norway spruce, Autumn Blaze Maple, Norway Spruce, Red Cedar, American Elderberry, Hazelnut, Sugar Maple, Swamp White Oak, Pin Oak and the crown jewel of deer habitat, Chestnut Hill Outdoors’ Dustin Chestnuts and Deer Candy Persimmons. There are multiple food plots in place, including a 1-acre clover patch connecting to a 3-acre bean field that is flanked by a hard shell Redneck blind (Buck Palace). Several apple, crabapple and pear trees are located in this clover food plot. In the low land, approximately 10 acres of ash trees and box elders have been hinge cut or dropped to improve cover. Tucked in there are 3 food plots, one of which is in the heart of this hidden bedding area and loops around with the creek. An additional hardshell Redneck blind (Buck Palace) overlooks this secluded hot spot. The high ground provides several other smaller food plots with one being on the south end of the farm where all honeysuckle was removed and trees were planted including a food plot that skirts around the cornfield. This is another mega spot on the farm with several licking branches (90% of all bucks will travel to this spot on the farm due to all the limbs hanging into the food plot). This property has been managed for big bucks, passing on younger deer so they can grow to their potential.
