The one characteristic that jumped out the first time is walked this property is the absolutely perfect bedding cover that emcompasses nearly half this 120 acres. Native warm season grasses and hardwood saplings that have been planted here within the last few years are now established and are teaming with wildlife. Not only is it ideal bedding areas for bruiser bucks, but is also used by turkeys and quail for nesting and brooding their young. Another unique feature of the property is access to stands. With large numbers of deer bedding in the large field making your way to the stand undetected could be fairly easy. One trick is to put a john boat in the river and sneak in behind the deer to your stand! The rivers and sloughs on and around this property will funnel deer. Cruising bucks will walk the edges of these sloughs and will cross them where they are dry or shallow. These places create optimum spots to ambush mature bucks. Also, the Big Muddy is full of fish and shooting wood ducks off of it in the fall is a bonus! Property is currently enrolled in WRP Program
