A portion of the property has been logged in the past, but there is a massive area that has not been.The duck hunting should be excellent, with backwater sloughs and river-edge cover that make it a magnet for migrating birds. On the southern end there is a large mouth of water that pools north into the interior of the property, a fantastic place to have a private blind.Whitetail sign is all over with trails and rub lines, offering a well-rounded mix for hunters. There are pockets of thick cover that create a variety of edges under the tree canopy. Directly west is a massive valley of crop land, so the deer have a nearby sanctuary on this island, especially after harvest time in the fall.The Mississippi River is more than just a waterwayit’s a mighty symbol of American civilization. This island is part of that legacy.
