0002 CR-290 Outstanding Whitetail and Turkey Hunting With Class II Tillable Soils Near Joplin, MO. This highly attractive mixed-use farm offers a rare combination of productive agricultural soils and exceptional whitetail deer and turkey hunting habitat. Approximately 30+/- acres of the property consist of high-quality Class II tillable soils, primarily Cherokee silt loam and Opolis silt loam, both well known throughout the region for their productivity, favorable moisture-holding capacity, and dependable yield potential. These soils support strong row-crop production and provide reliable annual income potential through owner operation or cash rent while simultaneously serving as a valuable food source for local wildlife. The surrounding agricultural landscape further enhances the property's value, as nearby crop fields create an abundant forage base that helps sustain and attract a healthy deer and turkey population throughout the year. Two live water features, Blackberry Creek and Pond Creek, traverse the property and provide dependable water while contributing significantly to the farm's wildlife habitat and hunting dynamics. The creeks feature sections of steep banks and natural terrain variation which combine to create pronounced travel corridors and natural pinch points that funnel whitetail movement through the property. These natural funnels are particularly effective during the rut when mature bucks travel between bedding areas and surrounding food sources, creating predictable movement patterns and excellent stand locations. The farm contains a diverse mix of hardwood and softwood timber that contributes to its exceptional wildlife carrying capacity. Mast-producing hardwoods provide critical seasonal food sources during fall and early winter, while softwoods and thick understory vegetation create excellent thermal cover and security habitat. Dense ground cover and natural bedding areas allow deer to remain protected while maintaining close proximity to surrounding feeding areas, and the timber-to-field transition zones create ideal edge habitat frequently used by both deer and turkey. Evidence of mature whitetail activity across the property is remarkable, with an overwhelming amount of buck sign including rub lines, scrapes, trails, and bedding areas observed throughout the farm, ranking among it among some of the strongest deer activity I have encountered on a property. Turkey hunting is equally impressive, as the combination of mature timber, creek corridors, open agricultural ground, and nesting cover supports a large and stable turkey population. The creeks provide reliable water and roosting habitat while the surrounding open areas create ideal strutting zones during the spring season. In addition to its agricultural productivity and recreational value, the property offers practical infrastructure with both electric and rural water available at the road, allowing for potential cabin sites, hunting lodge construction, or a future country home. Overall, this farm represents a highly desirable combination of Class II agricultural soils, dependable water resources, exceptional wildlife habitat, and outstanding whitetail and turkey hunting opportunities, making it a rare and versatile property capable of providing both agricultural income and premier recreational enjoyment.
