| An example of central midwest agricultural deer and turkey hunting lease land. 
An east-west running 1/2 section composed of 320 acres. The north-south road on the west is a blacktop the one on the east is a gravel country road. The road bordering the north of the property running east-west is a mud road impassible during wet weather. Running north-south through the center of the lease is a railroad embankment. The southern property line is a 4 strand fence. 
What we were after, turkeys spotted at 2 PM scouting the day before the hunt at the old homestead, dead center of the property. This picture was taken from the east looking west at the creek line. 
Is a more panoramic picture from the creek line looking west to where the turkey picture above was taken. A hay field that was partially baled last year. The turkeys are dead center of the tree shown in the far ground. 
The main branch of the creek running through this lease from south to north is dry boot crossable during dry periods and far too deep for chest waders after even what may seem to be the least amount of rain. Several small tributaries to this creek are typically dry boot crossable. Milo was the grain crop on this farm this season the pictures were taken. 
Alfalfa the other mainstay of this lease. 

What we were after in this case three of six strutting toms during the golden period of first light and before the sun came over the ridge. |
