CR 9606 , Rockville, MO 64780(Bates County)

As the sun breaks you hear wings whistle and your pulse races. You smile because you have been waiting for this moment all year. You wait because as you look across the flooded smart weed you see another flock of mallards cupping up and dropping in. The 25-acre plus levied field makes all this possible. This field could also be planted to corn, milo, and millet. There is a water control structure giving you the ability to keep the water in or letting it out. You can pump water to fill the field from the near-by Panther Creek that crosses part of the property. There is also an oxbow lake and a timbered pond giving you multiple additional waterfowl opportunities. A plan has also been laid out with the Corp of Engineers to levy the approximate 15-acre pecan grove. You can also enjoy an afternoon sitting on the banks of Panther Creek catching big catfish. As you cross the drainage in the middle of the property, you look down the big open area and realize it’s ripe for planting a huge food plot for the many deer and turkeys that live on and around the property. As you travel to the back half of the property to “the sanctuary”, you see a nice mixture of hardwood and softwood timber. There are so many other recreational opportunities to be had on this property, from hunting to riding ATV’s or horses, hiking or boating and fishing on the Oxbow lake, pond or river. This property is located within a mile of the Osage River as well as the Shell/Osage Wildlife Conservation Area that has a heavy focus on waterfowl and archery hunting.
