WI Hunting Land For Sale

It’s true!  Great turkey and whitetail deer hunting does exist on this Southern Wisconsin hunting land.

Checkout the following aerial survey map and in particular the huge ridge top field highlighted in red.  You can see huge turkey flocks roaming across the fields. Pheasant hunting isn’t too bad either when corn is planted.

WI Hunting Land - Ridge Top Panarama

This section of photos is pretty big BUT so are the AWESOME views from up here.  Whitetail, turkey, ring neck pheasant, foxes, hawks, black birds, blue birds, wrens and sometimes even an eagle will cross your path up here.  Absolutely every wildlife in the area wants to walk these hills.  This was especially true for the family dogs King, PeeWee and Elmo.  King simply loved to roam free up here.  PeeWee was the talented one.  He loved to ride on Dad’s lap as dad worked the fields — honestly.  Elmo just had to keep moving.

This first photo is just after you get to field opening as you look to your left, North.  This ridge top has many valleys that come up to the point.

The next shot is taking one more look back down into Sneed Creek valley before we move to the top.

We are still in the same spot but this time we look to the right and South.  For some reason this was a favorite spot for many deer to simply stop and feed before ducking into the woods.  In fact, one of their favorite trails winds down from here past one of our favorite rocks to the farm below.  This picture is also the same general direction to the House on the Rock just about 2-3 miles away.

This next picture is still from the same spot but you’re looking straight up the head to the East.  Madison is about 40 miles from here.

The next picture shows the hickory tree that supported the family TV tower.  In “those days” you could only get 3 television channels and that was difficult since the family farm was at the bottom of this hill and the Madison stations were 40 miles away – behind the hill.  The tower had to go as high as possible and the wire had to be a ‘open’ wire which didn’t work at all in rain, snow or heavy leaves.  Oh well, black and white, early color, oh man you probably just wouldn’t image.

The next picture is at the same angle but we are about half way up the hill.

Same location but looking South again to the left.  Again the tree tops that were pushed from this field formed some really great hideouts for the deer and birds.

Spinning around to my left and this is to the North

The next shot is somewhat to the Southwest.  My Dad and brother spent countless days farming on a couple of different farms off in that direction.  That view has those trees miles away.

This view shows the original part of this ridge top field.  Off to the left there was only a small field with another ridge road entrance just straight ahead.  The area where we’re standing was solid berry bushes.  Believe me you could hardly get through this part without something being tore off.  I think this is the spot where my Uncle John had to use his last bullet and the knife to finally finish off one of the bucks in this thick bush.

The next picture is to the Southeast towards the House on the Rock way over the tree tops.  My brother got one back in the woods.  He always a better shot when the buck was running especially through the woods.

And the next picture is the TOP of the ridge.

Looking North from the top you can see a house on High Point road.

This is looking West.

Looking Northwest.

Same shot but with zoom.

At this point we have started walking East towards the back route off the ridge.  This valley leading to the ridge has the second ridge road.  On the left there is a very defined hill crest that divides the top with the steep slopes.  The deer love these hillside transitions — especially when they are on the top and checking you out from above.  The right side of this steep ridge road valley has a hill that comes to a pretty sharp point.  It is the North side of the hill and let me tell you that it gets darn cold around 3:30 in the afternoon sitting there.  Our Dad’s cousin had many favorite stops but he and his 35 rifle got many a buck coming off this hill going across the valley below near that large walnut tree.

We’re heading East again towards the backside trail.  You might be wondering where our Dad got his deer.  He got there all over the place.  His big thing was to tell people exactly were to stand for both the turkey and deer hunting — we did deer drives back in the day.  Many of my friends mentioned the accuracy in the turkey directions.  Dad’s other thing was of course driving the tractor and two wheel wagon.  You only really want to drag these deer only once or twice and you soon figure out how to get the Ford 8N tractor back there after that.

Yup, we’re heading down the backside soon.  This area had a number of trails the circled the hill back here.  It was kid of a cat and mouse game back here because of the various rock points, the popular lined hill slopes and elevation changes everywhere.

This is our route down the back slope.  There is a particle logging road but we’re going to take a well traveled whitetail trail.

One last look up the ridge and to the West.  This was were the original field was.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures.  We have many, many, many more coming but these will be last of the hilltop ridge views until we get back up there to take a few more.  In the future, we’ll take a few YouTube videos from here so that you get a better sense of this simply awesome track of prime Wisconsin hunting land for sale.
