, Ash Flat, AR (Sharp County)

This prime deer, turkey, and quail hunting property is the result of its location and habitat. The property is nestled within the 13,500 acre AGFC Harold Alexander Wildlife Management Area, where only limited 3 day gun and muzzeloader hunts and bowhunting are permitted. This property draws does and mature deer to the property because of hundereds of acres of prime bedding and browse areas,watering ponds, and several year round natural springs that provide crisp cool water to the critters on a yearly basis. Pear and Persimmon trees are located throughout the property and are sagging with fruit. Over 180 acres of mature hardwoods provide mast in the fall and winter. And the owner has developed food plots throughout the property to not only draw critters from the WMA but also hold the deer, turkey, and quail on the property. The majority of the ground cover is planted in little blue stem, which is prime quail habitat. There were 16 covies identified on this property last year. During this agent’s visit to the property,Bob White could be heard throughout the ranch. It is no secret that Sharp County produces some of the largest turkey harvest numbers in the state year in and year out. Acres of nesting, strutting, roosting, and bugging area will ensure this property will remain a trophy turkey area. And with the limited deer hunting pressure on the WMA and the ability of the property to draw deer from the WMA will ensure the deer hunting will continue to offer opportunities to harvest mature bucks. There is a vast road system through the property and numerous food plot areas nestled in some prime hunting spots. The property is located only 2.5 miles from a public boat ramp access on the Spring River, providing great trout, walleye, and tiger muskie fishing, as well as canoeing/boating opportunities. Crystal clear Rock Creek is just a mile down the road and the water is so clear the numerous fish can be seen from the bridge. There is a storage building, a barn, a well, and electricity on the property, and several great building sites with great vista views. This is a true trophy hunting property with excellent fishing/boating opportunities located just down the road. This one won’t last long.
