The Boeuf River Reserve is a recreational hunting property comprising 955.87 +/- contiguous acres. The land rests in the fertile and lush Southeast Arkansas Delta along the Boeuf River just west of the Mississippi River in Chicot County. The property offers a diverse and maturing landscape teeming with trophy white-tailed deer throughout the year and ducks in the winter when conditions are favorable.
The landholding is a restoration project, which was professionally planned and managed by Ducks Unlimited in the initial stages. Most of the property has been reforested in hardwoods such as nuttall, shumard, overcup, willow, and water oaks. Other trees such as sweet pecan, sugarberry, persimmon, and cypress have also been planted. In addition, there are areas with mature hardwood timber. Various shallow-water wetland impoundments are located throughout the landscape, with an excellent sys...
The landholding is a restoration project, which was professionally planned and managed by Ducks Unlimited in the initial stages. Most of the property has been reforested in hardwoods such as nuttall, shumard, overcup, willow, and water oaks. Other trees such as sweet pecan, sugarberry, persimmon, and cypress have also been planted. In addition, there are areas with mature hardwood timber. Various shallow-water wetland impoundments are located throughout the landscape, with an excellent system of levees and water control structures.
The majority of the land is enrolled in the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). When the program ends, a new owner may allow the contract to expire and further develop the wildlife habitat. In addition, the property could potentially be rolled into a new conservation program, which may provide additional income to the landowner. 36 +/- acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), which provides $3,300.00 annually. The CRP contract will expire in 2033.
The land has a proven history of exceptional deer hunting, with big bucks harvested and recorded often. This property may well be one of the best trophy deer landscapes we have seen in years, with wildlife food plots and established hunting locations offering plenty of possibilities to the avid deer hunter. Many areas have been identified to further develop for deer hunting, such as installing new deer stands and food plots.
The land offers impoundments with willow groves and thickets, smartweed, and other moist-soil vegetation for wintering ducks. There are five established duck hunting locations and multiple areas where duck food can be planted. The Boeuf River defines the western boundary for roughly 1.3 miles, and across the river is a contiguous tract of extensively managed deer and duck habitat. This adjoining land is over 14,000 acres and provides considerable added wildlife resources and value to the property. Thousands of ducks find the surrounding cropland and various wetlands attractive wintering grounds. The Mississippi River is located just 15 miles east, and the Boeuf River is a notable duck flyway. Storied duck hunting public lands such as Cut-Off Creek WMA, Felsenthal NWR, and Overflow NWR are all located within close proximity to the property.
Throughout the land is an impressive and well-maintained network of interior roads, providing easy access to wildlife food plots, water control systems, and various hunting locations. There is an ideal development site with utilities for constructing an excellent lodge for entertaining family and friends. Access to the property is proper via paved and all-weather roads, and Lake Village, Eudora, and Greenville (Mississippi) are all within a 30-minute drive or less.
Approximately 10 miles south, southeast of Lake Village and 5 miles west, northwest of Eudora. Access via County Road 17.
