Description
Hidden within the rugged hills and terrain of Russell County, KS, less than one mile from the Saline River, is the Cedar Top 316, offering an unparalleled acreage of elite whitetail deer habitat meticulously managed to produce trophy-caliber whitetail bucks. This exceptional property boasts expansive seclusion with convenient county road access, making it an ideal sanctuary for mature whitetail bucks and dedicated hunters.
This expansive property features multiple wide and deep hardwood and cedar-lined canyons, with strategically placed food plots established in the bottoms. From the ridges and hilltops, hunters experience commanding vantage point views overlooking the fertile feeding areas in the bottoms. This farm showcases an impressive 200-foot elevation change, delivering diverse topography for holding whitetail deer year-round, as well as breathtaking panoramic views. The consistency of this property is a real-life checklist of what it takes to hold and produce trophy deer in Kansas: diverse, secluded terrain; large areas of timber and brush cover; and multiple food sources and water.
Agricultural productivity complements wildlife habitat on this property, with over 138 acres of cropland currently custom-farmed to generate income as well as a heavily used food source for attracting whitetail deer, upland birds, and turkeys. Additionally, over 4½ acres of food plots are established in three separate, strategic locations, each enhanced with tower blinds and feeders to optimize hunting success and year-round activity.
Natural resources supplement the property with multiple drainage channels that hold water seasonally and two solar-powered water wells supplying fresh water year-round. This area is extremely reputable for its strong Boone & Crockett genetics, consistently producing trophy-caliber bucks. A farm like this one that has been managed for trophy deer and has the ability to hold dozens of deer throughout the year is capable of producing a world-class whitetail deer any given year.
Beyond deer, the property supports healthy populations of Rio Grande turkeys. It offers exceptional quail habitat, all sheltered by hundreds of cedars and hardwoods that line the canyons, hilltops, and ridges. The natural funnels formed by this landscape provide perfect ambush points for archery stands, especially as deer move in from the nearby Saline River to the north.
Hunting infrastructure has been precisely developed, including multiple permanent blinds, large feeders, established food plots, and water wells and tanks that ensure a seamless, productive hunting experience. The entire ranch is fenced and gated, presenting unmatched privacy and security within a vast, undisturbed landscape.
