This listing features 240 +/- acres of prime hunting land along the Smoky Hill River in Russell County, Kansas. This particular property is a perfect representation of why Kansas is one of the most sought-after deer hunting states in the Midwest. An entire mile of the Smoky runs through this wildlife mecca. This river system is a huge travel corridor for whitetail deer which has been known to produce trophy bucks year after year. The land is characterized by over 90 acres of river bottom with dense trees and mature timber, tall native grass, and deep wooded canyons. This makes up some of the best habitat for deer and turkey hunting that you might encounter.At the center of the property there is a 4 acre opening that is surrounded by trees. These 4 acres are currently enrolled in CRP but the contract expires on 9-30-2020. This area makes a dynamite transition area for the deer as they travel from their bedding areas to the crop fields at dusk. If this opening was converted into a large food plot it would be the ultimate honey hole. It truly is the ideal setup for a hunter to be successful every season. Towards the south end of the property where the river turns and heads north, there is an area between the river and the crop field where you will find several deep canyons that are loaded with trees and thick cover. This appears to be a giant bedding area for the deer. While touring the property, I noticed a tremendous amount of deer activity. The game trails are beat down, rubs and scrapes are scattered along the entire river bottom from last fall. The dense cover and large timber make this a great turkey hunting property as well. Rio Grande turkeys thrive on this 240 acres because of the cover and large crop fields. With good gravel roads on both the north and east sides of the property, hunting stands can be very accessible allowing for minimal intrusion. The river can also produce good channel cat fishing during the summer months. There is about 140 acres of productive cropland on this property. The owner has planted corn, beans, wheat and milo in previous years. Not only does this land generate a good source of income but also serves as an excellent food source for wildlife all year long. FSA information on the cropland can be provided to potential buyers upon request.This property is located less than 5 minutes southwest of Wilson, 45 minutes from Hays and 2 hours from Wichita, Kansas. If you are looking for the deer hunting property of a lifetime, this one definitely has everything you could ever ask for. Please call me today if you have any questions regarding this listing.
