Property Description
This listing is for an equity share of Davis Islands Brierfield-Hurricane Plantation. Brierfield Hurricane consist of 25 share holders holding approximately 232ac each. Davis Island carries some of the most fascinating history of any hunting property on the Mississippi River. Originally part of an 11,000-acre peninsula called Davis Bend, the land was purchased in 1818 by Joseph Emory Davis, who built the Hurricane Plantation there and later gave his younger brother, future Confederate President Jefferson Davis, an adjoining tract that became the Brierfield Plantation. In March 1867, a shift in the river's course cut through the neck of the peninsula, severing it from the mainland and turning Davis Bend into Davis Island - accessible only by water (or, today, by air). The island has passed through private hands ever since, and by the mid-20th century it had already been converted into a private hunting reserve - a role it's held for decades. Deer Hunting Forty-plus years of consistent, disciplined management have made this one of the premier deer hunting operations on the river. The infrastructure reflects that commitment: 30+ box stands, 20+ ladder stands, well-maintained food plots and interior roads, and a dedicated cleaning station with a walk-in cooler. This is a turnkey operation for a serious deer program, not a raw tract waiting to be built out. Duck Hunting Davis Island sits squarely in the Mississippi Flyway, and its river-bottom terrain - sloughs, oxbows, seasonally flooded timber and ag ground - makes it a natural for waterfowl. Mississippi River islands like this one have long been prized duck ground precisely because of that isolation: minimal pressure, abundant water, and cover that holds birds through the season. Turkey Hunting The same mature hardwood bottoms and river-cut terrain that make this a top-tier deer property also support a strong turkey population. Isolated, lightly hunted river ground like Davis Island tends to hold birds well and age them out, which typically means better calling and better encounters come spring. Fishing With the Mississippi River wrapping the property and interior sloughs and oxbow lakes on the tract, there's excellent fishing right alongside the hunting - bass, crappie, catfish and bream are all typically found in this kind of river-bottom habitat. Access Part of what sets Davis Island apart is getting there. Owners and guests can barge equipment and vehicles onto the island, or fly straight in on the property's own 4,000-foot runway - a rare amenity that makes this remote, isolated tract genuinely easy to use.
