Good habitat and seclusion are two factors that go a long way toward establishing the potential of a tract of land to consistently produce big whitetails and wild turkeys. Western Missouri grows healthy numbers of both, and this farm in particular has the capacity to produce them in abundance. From just a glance at the aerial photo, you'll quickly realize that the terrain, vegetation, and location offer plenty of promise for the sportsman looking for a dynamite hunting farm. Walnut Creek forms the anchor of the habitat as it laces its way through the property, and long fingers of oak timber stretch towards the ridgetops covered in native prairie and bluestem meadows, offering tremendous plant diversity, food, and cover. 40+ acres of the uplands are in row crops, further enhancing the diversity and appeal of the tract, as well as offering some income. Wooded portions of the property are dominated by post oak, white oak, red oak, and pin oak, as well as a healthy component of other hardwoods such as cherry, walnut, persimmon, hackberry, and elm. The understory of these woodlands contains an abundance of native legumes and native grasses that offer cover and food, in addition to the acorns and other mast. The gently rolling terrain creates plenty of natural features that effectively funnel game movement, creating pinch points and bottlenecks that are sure to be hot spots for plenty of action as the whitetail rut ramps up in late October and continues throughout the season. Three fiberglass tower blinds on 10' stands are perfect for long sits on cold or rainy days, and their location overlooking food plots makes them ideal for any hunt. Existing trails provide good access through the tract, with plenty of opportunity to create additional trails for funneling game movement and further enhancing accessibility.
