Booner Bedroom in Des Moines County, Iowa

Land Features & Description

The Booner Bedroom is the perfect description of this impressive display of Iowa's finest undergrowth. The mix of honeysuckle, dogwood, cedar, hickory, honey locust, and giant, century-old white oaks have grown together to form an incredible blanket of security vegetation that I rarely see on Iowa properties. This combination provides the ultimate bedding area for upper age class bucks and allows an incredible support structure on the property for multiple bedding areas. Laying on the fringe edges of some of Iowa's best tillable soil, this property has an essential blend of pitch black dirt, rough cut hillsides and ridges, a year round creek, excellent mast crops and in timber forage production. The property also features some outstanding tillable production soil to bring in an impressive yearly income for it's size. The owner is willing to sell the timber separately from the tillable ground. The timber portion will still include more than adequate tillable areas that are currently in hay to provide additional nutrition and kill plots.

There are multiple farmers in the area who are willing to buy the tillable at an exceptional rate so interested parties could either purchase the entire property and we can arrange for the sale of the tillable to one of the farmers. Or, an interested buyer can make an offer on the timber portion alone and leave the seller to sale the tillable to a local farmer himself.

Des Moines County has historically produced an unusual amount of non-typical racks with extreme mass and this property is no exception to that rule. I've walked the property twice, crawled is more like it, and cut several exceptionally large tracts that have crossed the tillable fields. Giant rubs are present in random locations along the ridges and in-timber bottlenecks where the terrain has funneled multiple trails into the thick underbrush. If you've never seen what type of cover this mix of woody vegetation can produce, you'll understand after crawling around the undergrowth how deer can literally die of old age on properties like this.

Bowhunters who are considering this purchase will need to bring a good set of antlers, a working knowledge of deer vocalizations, and the patience wait for the perfect opportunity at an ethical shot. Even from an elevated position, the new owner would be best served to carve out shooting lanes in key locations well in advance of the season to guarantee shooting opportunities.

Make no mistake though, if you're purchasing this property, you'll need to clear some room in the trophy den and may consider moving what adorns your trophy wall now to another room. I'm convinced the next giant Des Moines County buck will come from the interior fences of this high end whitetail opportunity!
