This property is perfectly located and borders Mattamuskeet Wildlife Refuge on the southand the north borderis in close proximity,to the Pocosin Lakes Refuge and both the Pungo and Alligator Rivers. These areas winter large numbers of ducks, geese, and swans that come to this property, to feed on the nearly 350 acres of corn and grain left just for waterfowl. There are also large areas on the north end, that the seller also floods, just for sanctuary on the property itself that hold large numbers of ducks as well. It is not uncommon to see tens of thousands of birds when going into hunt, when the birds have made it down on there winter migration.

The property also has a great, big game population including large numbers of trophy black bears that Hyde County is famous for. Some of the biggest black bears in the world come from this area. There is an 11,000 acre tract to the west of this property that is also known for great bear hunting and holds a lot of game that comes to this farm to feed on all the grain in the fields, for the waterfowl. We have been running trail cameras on the property for several weeks now and have proof of bears that are well over, 600 lbs. The deer numbers are good as well. We also, have great pictures of several nice bucks. One evening last week in a short drive through the property, we saw at least twentynice bucks, which 8 of them werereally nice, 8 pointers. The wild pig population continues to grow in Hyde County. Although the land owner tries to keep them in check, they offer great hunting and good table fare as well.

Along with all the other game mentioned, this farm has a huge population of wild turkeys. The turkeys were introduced into Hyde County approximately 20 years ago and have really done well in the area. There has been little to no pressure, on the birds here and it is not uncommon to see 30 to 40, almost everytime you ride through the property. We have several photos of some, really nice gobblers, and several bearded hens.

There is small game and predators on this tract, as well. The landowner planted several acres of sunflowers this season and had great success on the early dove season. The sunflower fields have now resprouted and will be flooded and providing more food for the waterfowl. There are still a few quail and rabbits on the propertyand we'veseen and heard several coveysof birds, in the past few weeks. There are a few coyotes and bobcats on the property also, and the landowner tries to keep them in check as well.
