What else you ask?
Rich's Notes: The first time I walked this property I was blown away by the number of scrapes I found! This property literally has MILES of timber edge habitat and there were scrapes under nearly every over-hanging branch! Turkey sign was everywhere and the quality, size and diversity of the oak timber was impressive. Lots of oak species here -- I counted 7 different species and I'd bet there are more. This place is going to be a MAJOR deer attraction in the fall and if there are not 150-170 inch and bigger bucks roaming these woods on a consistent bases I will eat your hat! This place should produce some real wall-hangers, being located in some one of the best monster buck areas in the world! On the way back to the truck, I noticed several BIG bunches of Canada geese and mallards circling the fields in the area looking to land for some supper (these a mere handful of the thousands of geese and ducks that hang out most of the winter along on the Des Moines river just a few miles away). This place would be a super place for any serious sportsman!
Priced at: $3500 per acre. Email rich@iowahabitats.com for more info!
#** 47 Acre Wetland, Wapello county, Iowa
(This one comes with over $100 per acre in annual income for the next 9 years! Sure you can buy a $3500 per acre farm field that produces that much income but which one would your rather hunt? Which one has NO farmer/tenant headache issues? Don't let this property slip past you! Fantastic income plus Fantastic hunting!)
Here is a beautiful
47 Acre parcel -- and it's only 6.5 miles from Ottumwa, Iowa (Wapello, county)
Over 1,000 mallards, teal, woodies and geese seen on this property at one time!!
This parcel is Absolutely LOADED with deer and turkey as well -- some pheasants too! This property has some really big deer.
(There is more deer and turkey sign on this property than many farms we've seen 5 times bigger -- Come see for yourself!)
This tract is part of over 1300 acres in the immediate area that are managed for giant bucks!!!!!!
Recent Note: I jumped a huge velvet racked trophy buck off one of the islands this July of 2007 while taking aquatic plant samples.
Rich's Comments: On one trip here this spring, I jumped 800-1,000 mallards off the wetland. There were also 3-4 dozen Canada geese. Wood ducks, divers, shovelers, widgeon, teal and even some snow geese and white pelicans were there too! I also saw 20-30 whitetails and there were several gobblers and hens in the food plot. With the super productive soils, various clovers seeded nearly everywhere, native grasses and abundance of water, this place supports and attracts a phenomenal amount of wildlife. I have seen 250 acre farms with much less wildlife than this one offers! All ths and being in the heart of a large managed area for trophy whitetails

This is a hard-to-find-type property that offers sportsman a smorgasbord of excellent options. Remote -- yet easy access!
Very few wetland parcels offer income -- let alone income like this!
Price: $3550/acre (Compare this price to farm ground that is cash renting for $90-$130 per acre, per year and selling for 4-7 K, and more, per acre and you'll see this a good price. And you don't have management headaches with this one -- just hunting)! Contact rich@iowahabitats.com for your showing or with questions on this parcel.
Huge 220 inch non-typical taken in immediate vicinity in 2006 and another B & C caliber trophy in 2007!
Deer and Turkey are thick here.......
LOTS of Marketable Timber, Too-- A Great Investment! *(Recent timber inventory shows $15,000 in marketable trees right now. Full timber inventory growth projection shows 60-85K in markable timber on this parcel in just 7 years!!! If elected to do so, IWHS will show you how a timber harvest will actually improve your hunting!) Let the trees pay off most of your mortgage! *
(This is another excellent deer and turkey hunting parcel in one of the most sought after locations in the state!)

![]() Here is a small tract that packs a huge hunting wallop: 40 Secluded Acres near a Huge No Hunting Refuge!
![]() Here is that Dream parcel folks. No it's not huge -- but it's within 200 foot steps of a 1,500 acre refuge where no buck hunting is allowed! When is the last time you have seen a parcel for sale in such a location?
This tract is stacked to the brim with deer and turkey. LOTS of bucks on this one! And, trophy potential is obvious because of it's location near the refuge!
Check out all the features:
This excellent tract is VERY secluded -- lying 1/4 mile off a county gravel road and behind a closed gate -- yet has super easy access -- even with a 2wd sedan! There is a permanent deeded easement from the gravel road into the parcel -- the easement is level, in excellent condition and is mostly rocked!
No, this property is not bargain basement variety but is something like no other -- finding a hunting parcel adjacent a state park refuge is akin to winning the lottery folks! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN SUCH A PARCEL!
Price $5600/Acre (compare this parcel to many similar sized tracts in NE Iowa and Illinois that are selling for more but have no nearby refuge areas).
