Soils, Foliage and Land Features

M Ranch is located in a very productive region which receives an annual average rainfall of 57". The soils are mostly comprised of Necessity Gilbert silt loam, Gigger silt loam and Perry Clay. Multiple cleared food plots, totaling approximately 250 acres, grow lush with Winter Wheat and Soybeans. These fields contrast beautifully with the thick hardwoods providing ample sanctuaries and native forage for the wildlife. A selective timber cut was performed on the property in 2009, which produced approximately $750,000 of revenue.

The land has been sculpted to provide seemingly endless trails and abundant lanes for hunting blinds and feeders and is anticipated to be ready for another cutting in 2024. The rich variety of native forest, shrubs and plentiful watersheds that envelop this land provide a flourishing habitat for a wide diversity of birds, small game and many types of native flora and fauna. In October of 2014, 78.84 acres of the land was placed in the Conservation Reserve Program. This generates approximately $6162 in revenue per year for the landowner. This program is set to expire in September of 2029 but can be removed at any time.

Water

The ranch has numerous creeks that carve through the land like a series of veins. This series of drainages flow water to every corner of the property. One turbine well and two open casing are in place to access the superb subsurface water. There are some flood tendencies in low lying areas of the property which provide ideal locations for waterfowl levees.

Several stock tanks catch and hold water throughout the ranch.

Habitat and Wildlife

M Ranch offers some of the best white-tailed deer genetics you will find anywhere. Several 400"+ deer have been harvested on the ranch with the record scoring an amazing 505" B&C Gross! Numerous trophy bucks are harvested on an annual basis with an antler mass score within the 200" - 300" range. Bloodlines can be traced, and meticulous management practices have been utilized since the high fence was installed in 2009. These are deer you must see to believe!

The ranch is under approximately 7 miles of high fence with additional predator wire, which was completed in 2010. Wild pigs have been eliminated within the fenced perimeter to ensure they don't compete with the deer.

25 quality blinds are in place with 15 feeders. 7 free choice 1700 lbs. protein feeders, 4 free choice 600 lbs. protein feeders, and 250 +/- acres of food plots are positioned throughout. The owner utilizes AgriLife protein feed supplemented with a couple of his secret ingredients. On average, 20 tons of protein feed is supplemented to improve antler growth.

M Ranch is enrolled in the Deer Management Assistance Program and has a permitted hunting season for white-tailed deer that begins on October 1st and ends on February 1st.
