The entire acreage within the borders of this property has everything needed to hold and attract a large populations of whitetail deer, mule deer, and turkeys, and the 140+ acres of native grass and winding draws will undoubtedly hold several coveys of quail and a healthy population of ringneck pheasants as well. Tall cottonwoods at the property entrance create a massive buffer by completely blocking any vehicle traffic from the major deer bedding areas and turkey roosts within. As you continue along the entrance, the experience of this property truly begins with the mature cottonwoods booming over the 14 acres of corn that is currently planted along the northwest corner. The outer most rows of corn have nearly been completely picked over by the deer and the field edges are beaten down a few inches from the heavy amount of deer traffic through this portion of the property. The block of timber bordering the cropland consists of over 20 acres of cottonwoods, cedars, and a wide variety of other trees that, most simply put, create a nest for resident whitetails and a perfect escape area for deer receiving pressure in the Solomon River bottom just a mile to the north. This large block of timber features multiple openings within that could be easily converted to hunting food plots with complete seclusion. This area is an archery hunters dream! As you travel through the center of this property to the South, the terrain quickly evolves into a mecca of textbook Western Kansas mule deer and whitetail habitat with winding timbered draws, rolling hills, and large limestone cliffs that leave a lot to the imagination. This nearly landlocked portion of the property consists of another 60-acre crop field that will only further increase the total number of deer and turkeys on the property throughout the year. This acreage has the makeup of a true trophy deer hunting property with its large mix of timber cover, rolling to rugged hills, winding timbered draws, fertile crops fields, and towering limestone bluffs in an area of complete seclusion.
