000 E Veteran Rd, Milo, MO, 64767

This 291 +/- acre jewel in southeast Vernon County has everything needed to grow mature whitetails and healthy flocks of wild turkeys. Walnut Creek forms the anchor of the habitat as it loops through the property, with several wide, flat creek bottoms perfect for food plots. Long fingers of timber dissect the uplands on the north end, offering tremendous plant diversity, and food, and cover with plenty of food-producing hardwoods including oaks and persimmons. Row crops are currently planted in the 55 +/- acres of the uplands, further enhancing the diversity and appeal of the tract, as well as offering some rental income. At the south end of the property is a 160 +/- acre block of timber dominated by post oak, white oak, red oak, and pin oak, as well as a healthy component of other hardwoods such as cherry, walnut, persimmon, hackberry, and elm. The understory of these woodlands contains an abundance of native legumes and native grasses that offer cover and food, in addition to the acorns and other mast. The gently rolling terrain creates plenty of natural features that effectively funnel game movement, creating pinch points and bottlenecks that are sure to be hot spots for rutting whitetails and strutting spring gobblers. In addition to the habitat offered by the big timber, 40 +/- acres of brushy uplands in the northeast corner provide the kind of dense cover sought for secure bedding and nesting. A fiberglass hunting blind on a 10’ stand overlooks a small pocket of open ground perfect for a secluded food plot. Water is provided by multiple creeks and two ponds, and numerous trails throughout the property connect these and other features across the acreage. Access to the property is provided via county road on the north end, as well as a deeded easement from the east to the southeast corner.
