The remaining 13± acres consist of timber with a mix of thick cover and closed-canopy hardwoods.

Food plot opportunities throughout the farm are a highlight. The combination of tillable acreage and the opportunity to set up a staging area to target those deer before sunset is crucial in hunting a mature deer.
