Duck & Deer Hunter’s Dream / 120 Acres of River Bottom Land Hunting season is right around the corner, and this 120± acre river-bottom tract is the kind of property that gets a hunter’s mind racing. Offered as one large tract, it sits about 3 miles east of the White, Wabash, and Patoka River confluence, with the Patoka River running through the property and providing more than a mile of river frontage. Gravel easement access leads into this rugged piece of southern Indiana ground, where you can create riverside campsites, launch a kayak, fish, camp, and enjoy the kind of outdoor weekends that turn into family stories. The southern portion offers excellent potential for multiple camp locations, while the northern acreage gives you room to build out a serious hunting plan. The recently timbered north side has exploded with thick new growth, creating excellent bedding, fawning, and brood-rearing cover for wildlife. A drainage ditch and clear-cut edge in the northwest corner provide a natural location for a food plot, deer blind, or future waterfowl setup. With a little sweat equity and a good management plan, this place could become a true deer and duck hunting destination. Close to Duke Gibson’s Broad Pond area and surrounded by river-bottom habitat, the property offers exciting potential for waterfowl management where feasible and permitted. The nearby Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge is known for its mix of bottomland, wetland, and migratory-bird habitat.
