605th Road & Ave. X , Alden, KS 67512(Rice County)

This is the type of property that produces and holds those giant whitetail bucks that central Kansas is known for. Only a short distance from Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, the habitat within the borders of this property provide nearly everything needed to hold and grow trophy whitetails, as well as endless opportunities at quail, dove and turkeys. The majority of the acreage consists of tall native grass, dense plum thickets, and scattered cedar trees within the rolling sand hills. This provides excellent bedding cover and seclusion. The conveniently located water well provides a year-round water source for the whitetail herd as well as other wildlife that inhabit the area. There are a few ideal areas for planting some small food plots that would be very easy to hunt over during the peak of the season. To top it off, the old farmstead has electricity, water, septic, and a few storage buildings making it easy to load up the camper and park at your favorite hunting spot for an extended period during deer season. This property has it all – excellent hunting in a highly desirable area and the convenience of full utilities within the campsite.
