County Lane 175 Whitetail Hunting Tract In Highly Desired Habitat Area Near Joplin And Carthage In SW MO. This exceptional whitetail property offers a rare and proven opportunity for the serious bowhunter seeking a highly managed, low-pressure hunting environment. Located in a region well-regarded for trophy whitetails, this tract stands out due to its strategic location, neighboring land stewardship, and natural terrain features that set up exceptionally well for close-range, archery-focused encounters. The property is bordered on the east by a large, contiguous timber tract, part of over 900 acres owned by a private landowner and a lightly hunted 415-acre timbered parcel. This creates an extensive buffer of undisturbed habitat, allowing mature bucks to age and move with minimal human intrusion. The topography is ideal for bowhunting, featuring five major draws and ridgelines that naturally funnel deer movement into predictable travel corridors. These terrain features provide numerous stand locations with optimal wind and entry options, significantly increasing success rates during the pre-rut and rut phases. A well-maintained 1.75-mile internal trail system offers stealthy access throughout the property, allowing hunters to slip in and out of stands without disturbing bedding areas or food sources. The timber mix includes mature oaks and other hard woods as well as softwoods, supplying consistent mast production and year-round browse. The presence of Grove Creek within 1000 feet of the western boundary in places, ensures a reliable water source and further enhances the property's holding power. This tract has been carefully protected from outside pressure and offers the ideal foundation for a serious bowhunter to implement a strategic management plan. Whether you're targeting mature bucks during the rut or setting up ambush sites in early season feeding patterns, this is a serious opportunity in a proven area.
