Recreation
Sugar Creek has been carefully managed to offer exceptional trophy-quality white-tailed deer hunting, with no expense spared on ensuring top-tier genetics. The property currently holds multiple trophy deer. With over 15 large food plots, protein supplement feeders, and ample water sources, the deer here have everything they need to thrive. Each food plot is equipped with Texas Hunter Products protein feeders and elevated Boss box blinds for optimal hunting experiences.
There are 3 approved interior breeder pens that compliment 2 larger pens which provide additional management opportunities for white-tailed deer. The property also offers prime Eastern turkey hunting, with excellent habitat supported by pine ridges, hardwood bottoms, minimal predation, and abundant food sources. Bobwhite quail populations are also present, and with continued management, their numbers could thrive in this habitat.
The professionally managed 160-acre lake is a haven for trophy bass, crappie, and bream. With 8+ pound bass regularly caught, it’s a fishing paradise. The property is also located in the Mississippi Flyway and is home to a large number of ducks during the winter. Two new waterfowl hunting blinds have been strategically placed according to regular wind patterns and habitat to ensure optimal hunting opportunities.
