This all timber hunting tract has got it going on! It’s well known that Crittenden county produces more than its fair share of big bucks every year. This farm is no exception! A quick look at the aerial shows just how much agriculture surrounds this property. Having all the timber in the middle gives a deer hunter the upper hand on many levels. First, this farm serves as a major bedding area for deer feeding on the neighboring row crops. With Kentucky’s bow season coming on the first Saturday in September, locating a bachelor group of bucks feeding on soybeans is a sure fire way to fill your tag with a velvet giant. With row crops on all sides, a hunter can locate an ambush site for almost any wind direction and catch deer in the evenings heading to feed.

This all timber hunting tract has got it going on! It’s well known that Crittenden county produces more than its fair share of big bucks every year. This farm is no exception! A quick look at the aerial shows just how much agriculture surrounds this property. Having all the timber in the middle gives a deer hunter the upper hand on many levels. First, this farm serves as a major bedding area for deer feeding on the neighboring row crops. With Kentucky’s bow season coming on the first Saturday in September, locating a bachelor group of bucks feeding on soybeans is a sure fire way to fill your tag with a velvet giant. With row crops on all sides, a hunter can locate an ambush site for almost any wind direction and catch deer in the evenings heading to feed. Second, after the surrounding crops have been harvested, most mature bucks will stay in the cover while cruising during the rut. This means any buck traveling from east or west will likely be cruising through this farm. With a little hinge cutting, you could create a bottleneck and really narrow down their travel corridor! Another thing that makes this farm stand out is just how well a few improvements would enhance its hunt-ability and holding power. There are several areas that would make ideal food plot locations. There are over 4 acres open in the power line right of way that would be a great place to start. A staging plot or two on the north and south ends would be perfect to lure out those older age class bucks that usually wait till dark before entering the food source. Hinge cutting particular areas in conjunction with the food plots would add some predictability to the deer’s travel pattern as well as improve overall holding capacity. An established trail system is already in place and can get you anywhere on the farm. There’s also several areas that would make great building sites. Water and Electricity are both available at the road. If you’re looking for a place to fill your Kentucky buck tag, give us a call and schedule your private tour!
