Proctor, OK 74457(Adair County)

The land is an impressive example of open, healthy hardwood forest. The stands of hardwoods include many white oaks and black walnuts. Located in the rolling Cookson Hills of Cherokee and Adair Counties, this property boasts an impressive relief from the flat ridge tops to the deep hollows. The transition between is almost vertical in some areas. The owner of the property has spent years constructing a comprehensive road and trail network that allows access to each hollow and ridge finger. Prescribed burning of the burning has created a park like setting in areas with the most recent burns. In addition, food plots and small watering holes have already been established. The oaks on the property produced a bountiful crop of acorns last year.

Wild, free ranging ELK were reintroduced to the area on the adjacent Nickel Preserve. As such, landowners are allowed to hunt elk on their own property.
