Story County Hunting | 30 Minutes from Ames
Zearing, Iowa, United States
119 Acres
Solid Bird + Buck Hunting approx. 30 minutes from Ames, ISU. 20 minutes from I-35 corridor to Minneapolis-St Paul (3 hours) to the north and Des Moines to the south (45 minutes).
Just outside the town of Zearing, we have three available parcels, including 33 acres along the Middle Minerva Creek. This land has been shaped by four generations of cattle and row crop farmers. Today, it’s a mix of CRP ground, brushy edges, and productive ag fields growing corn and soybeans.
The CRP fields, grassy corners, and creek bottom create excellent holding cover for whitetail and upland birds, while natural standing water and a winding creek on our Middle Minerva Creek parcel provide an essential water source and travel corridors. We don't have any elevated stands, but there's some good opportunity if you bring a popup blind along the brushy field edges and open draws where deer tend to move during early morning and late afternoon. Bird Dogs are welcome!
We look forward to hosting you!
