Wolfe Island #5 170 Acres Prime Hunting Tract
Description
170 Acres | Wolf Island #5 | Mississippi River Bottoms – Premier Whitetail Habitat
A rare opportunity to own 170 acres on Wolf Island #5, situated along the legendary Mississippi River. This incredible property is composed of dense, diverse woodland habitat, making it a premier destination for trophy whitetail deer hunting. Thick cover, abundant browse, and strategic timber blocks create the ultimate sanctuary for mature bucks.
Surrounded by expansive agricultural fields, the property benefits from a steady, natural food source that supports a thriving deer population. An extensive trail-camera history and a proven harvest record confirm that this tract not only holds big deer but also provides the conditions and access needed to successfully pursue them.
The land features multiple timber blocks, allowing for varied hunting styles, ideal wind setups, and multiple low-impact stand entry routes—perfect for serious deer managers. With only a handful of landowners on the island, the limited hunting pressure enhances both deer age structure and hunt quality.
Enrolled in the Wetland Reserve Easement (WRE) since 2010, the property includes maturing oak plantings nearing acorn production. This dense, regenerating habitat has become a powerful draw for wildlife, further enriching the property’s ecological value.
When Mississippi River levels rise, the property also offers unique waterfowl hunting opportunities, adding versatility to its recreational appeal.
