Comments:
Whitetail Trophy Properties Land Specialist Mark Doerner has been an outfitter & land owner in White County Illinois for 8 years.  Mark knows where the giant deer are taken year in and year out and he describes this property as "one of those magic spots" This property has everything it takes to grow and hold big whitetail.  Cover, water, food, genetics and great like minded neighbors. Mark spent two full days exploring this tract and was impressed with the big buck sign.  He was able to watch a 170"+ buck feeding in soybeans along with other big bucks. The trail camera and harvest photos tell the entire story on this property.
