N. River Road , Lakin, KS 67860(Kearny County)

The Arkansas River in Southwest Kansas is home to giant whitetail deer, fields of strutting toms, and trophy mule deer within the immense cover bordering the river bottom. This area has been a consistent producer of trophy deer for many years because of its exceptional genetics, dense cover consisting of thickets, brush, salt cedars, and cottonwoods, live water in the river, and excellent food sources in the crop fields. The deer simply have everything they need in this area to reach their full trophy potential. This property has been specifically improved to grow and hold trophy whitetail deer. Nearly 2 miles of Arkansas River frontage sets the foundation for this property with over 150 acres of heavy cover and prime whitetail bedding habitat bordering the river. As you move North of the river just outside of the thick bedding cover, there are multiple openings that have been developed into large food plots. These large food plots were strategically designed and located to not only provide a nutritional food source but also to increase daylight movement of deer with their close proximity to bedding cover. Multiple Banks Outdoor tower blinds have been placed in areas that allow for stealthy entry and exit to hunt the plots during the Fall with either a bow or firearm. Multiple Boss Buck feeders have also been setup throughout the property to provide another consistent food source for the wildlife and to further attract deer to the property from the surrounding area. The Arkansas River provides a year-round water source, as well as a few ponds within the borders of this property. In addition, there are a couple water wells on the land for watering livestock as well as wildlife. The Northern half of the property consists of native grass, which can potentially be utilized to generate income from a cattle lease, as well as 170 acres of cropland that has been planted to wheat this Fall. These cropland acres create a good income source from the land, as well as providing a generous food source for the wildlife to further attract, hold, and grow deer on the property. Access to the land is by a private entryway and locked gate along a well-maintained county road on the Northern edge of the property. The only road frontage along the property is over a ½ mile from the heart of the main river bottom hunting habitat creating near total seclusion for the wildlife and very peaceful hunting during the Fall deer season. Deer hunting along the Arkansas River in Southwest Kansas is unlike anything you have ever experienced and turnkey properties like this one are few and far between.
