Big Buck Rub Factory, Amazing Hunting, and Income in Lyon County, Kansas
Have you seen the perfect combination of white oaks, cedars, and CRP? This 300 +/- acres of whitetail haven is located just 6 miles south and a mile west of Hartford, Kansas. Those three words are what hold big Kansas monarchs. Walking this property, the timber floor was abundant of white oak acorns and rubs. Talk about rubs! I have never been on a property with as many rubs as this place and giant ones at that. I stopped counting at 50 rubs, from small ones in brush to cedars that were as big or bigger around as my thigh, and I’m no small man. Some cedars were shredded all the way around! Two ponds and well flowing creek offer prevalent water for all wild game. There are perfect, secluded food plot locations between the CRP and timber which provide very predictable hunting. When we put corn and cameras out during the day, the deer were there that same evening and all the bucks are dayli...

Two ponds and well flowing creek offer prevalent water for all wild game. There are perfect, secluded food plot locations between the CRP and timber which provide very predictable hunting. When we put corn and cameras out during the day, the deer were there that same evening and all the bucks are daylight walkers. The age structure sure is impressive and offers many years of mature whitetails to chase. And we can’t forget about the turkeys. The first time I was there I saw about eight big gobblers.
