A carefully developed 5-acre fenced food plot is planted to a diverse fall mix of clover, wheat, and rye, complementing the property's strong history of producing and holding trophy-class whitetails. One strategically placed tower blind is already in place and ready for immediate hunting opportunities. Down in the timber stand, travel corridors pave the way for multiple stand locations, allowing one to hunt multiple stands and play the winds. Along with world-class whitetails, turkey, quail, dove, prairie chicken, and jackrabbits thrive throughout the tract, while endless waterfowl utilize the Cottonwood River frontage and spring-fed pond for roosting and feeding opportunities.

To the north, never-ending tillable row crop fields line the riverbank and is where the migratory birds feed and then roost on the river and spring fed pond on the subject property. In deep winter months, when everything else is locked up, the Cottonwood River is piled by the millions with birds and is a waterfowlers paradise. Additional improvements include 5-strand perimeter fencing, all mineral rights intact, a spring-fed pond with room for expansion, and approximately 0.28 miles of Cottonwood River frontage.
