Some hunting properties are marketed on potential. This one comes with proof. Located in the southern portion of Vinton County, this 70-acre tract has a mature-whitetail history that immediately separates it from the average hunting property. The history includes two Boone and Crockett-class harvests--one scoring 184 inches and another scoring 161 inches--along with multiple other bucks breaking the 140-inch mark and consistent encounters with 150-class whitetails. Those results did not happen by accident. This property has been intentionally shaped, accessed, and hunted with one goal in mind: creating repeatable opportunities at mature Ohio bucks. The property sits just a couple of miles south of State Route 32--the Appalachian Highway. Nearly 600 feet of road frontage leads to a gated northern entrance, secure parking, a small creek, and potential for a future hunting camp or cabin, subject to buyer due diligence. Recent clear-cuts of approximately 14 and 6 acres join an 8-acre cut now roughly 10 years into regeneration. These growth stages create browse, bedding and security cover, mature timber, and defined edges. Strategic timber strips preserve travel corridors, while logging roads and trails provide multiple access options based on wind and season. Beyond the habitat work, the terrain brings the strategy together. Two primary ridge systems, multiple saddles, and converging habitat edges create natural travel corridors throughout the tract. Established stand locations, flexible access, and options for multiple wind directions give hunters several ways to approach the property while protecting its most important areas. This property has already been shaped, hunted, and proven. Its developing habitat positions it to remain productive for years to come. If your goal is a southern Ohio tract built around mature whitetails, this is one you need to experience in person.
