Special "Illinois, McDonough County hunting timberland for sale" with "lodge and caretaker cottage". 

Ideal for "Corporate retreat". 

"Parents of Western Illinois University students" could purchase and have their children in a rural adventurous setting  where they could "hunt deer"," turkey", "rabbits", "squirrel".

There is an unbelievably large variety of "birds to watch" and spring mushrooms in abundance. 

You can "saddle up your mules and horses and trail ride the forest".  The "4-wheelers" allow you the opportunity to "scout the timber and watch the deer" scurry out of your path. 

The large yard around lodge affords yard games of all kinds. 

The hunter in you can "target practice" to hone your shooting skills off the back patio/porch.  Or if you don't like hunting, you can have a wildlife retreat. 

The winter finds the country hills ideal for "sledding, snow boarding, sleigh riding and bond fires".
