This +/-126.7 acre Wetland Reserve Program tract in Hanson County, South Dakota, is a manageable, hunting-focused property in the southeastern part of the state. The east edge of the property is bordered by the James River, which gives the tract a natural boundary and a link to the river corridor.

Grass cover is a highlight. The enrolled acres are covered in good grass, the type of nesting, roosting, and escape cover that upland bird hunters look for in eastern South Dakota. An old section line tree row comes off the river breaks and runs onto the property, adding woody structure to the open grass. A linear cover like this can serve as a travel route and holding cover for deer and upland birds, and it gives a hunter a natural place to focus a stand, a blind, or a walk-up.

Hunting opportunities include upland bird hunting, deer hunting, and waterfowl hunting. With grass, a tree row, river breaks, and river frontage all on one tract, a hunter has several habitat types to work without covering a lot of ground. The size makes the property easy to learn and easy to hunt in a single weekend. There is also potential to add food plots and food plot strips, which could improve the deer and upland bird hunting even further. Buyers should review the Wetland Reserve Program enrollment terms to understand what habitat work and land uses are permitted.

Access to the property is good, so getting in and moving around the tract is straightforward. The property sits about 10 miles east of Dimock, South Dakota, and roughly 25 miles from Mitchell, which sits on Interstate 90 and offers lodging and supplies for a weekend trip. Sioux Falls is also within reach for buyers coming from farther east.

For a hunter looking for a manageable tract of James River country in South Dakota with grass cover, river frontage, and multiple game species, this Hanson County property is worth a close look.
