Co Road 565 , Wakeeney, KS 67672(Trego County)

There are very few areas of the country where Boone & Crockett caliber whitetail deer are “expected” to be taken year after year. In Kansas, the Saline River in the Western portion of the state has rightfully earned that reputation and has continued to build upon it by producing trophy whitetail deer like nowhere else in the country in recent decades. With the perfect combination of trophy deer genetics, a stable year-round water source, fertile bottomland crops, and rugged terrain providing resident whitetail deer security and the ability to reach maturity, the Saline River provides everything you could ever ask for to supplement a healthy whitetail deer herd and produce mature, trophy bucks year after year. This Saline River hunting ranch is unlike any other property you will find in all of Kansas. With over 1¾ miles of the Saline River, this property is loaded with mature cottonwoods and secluded bottoms. In addition to the river, over a mile of the wooded spring fed Shaw Creek enters the property from the south before eventually feeding into the river. A picturesque 3-acre spring fed pond provides excellent fishing opportunities as well as another valuable water source for the wildlife. The ranch consists of 281 acres of fertile bottom cropland which provides a steady cash return from the property, as well as ample acreage of crops to hold and grow a healthy deer herd on the ranch year-round. In addition to the crop production acres, over 20 acres of alfalfa and summer forage food plots have been strategically planted throughout to provide protein-rich food sources throughout the entire antler growing season, as well as attract deer to certain locations during the Fall hunting season. The seclusion and security of this ranch may be its greatest asset compared to most other river properties with road frontage on only one side and very minimal visibility into the river bottom. All parts of the ranch are accessible by trails and lease roads, which are behind locked gates. Over 75 acres of a tall switchgrass variety has recently been planted along the river bottom to further enhance bedding cover as well as provide a sense of protection as wildlife travel to different areas of the ranch. The ranch also includes multiple Boss Buck feeders, a new Muddy Bull Blind on a 10’ tower, as well as multiple Millenium treestands. This hunting ranch is as turnkey as you will find for this part of the state and is ready for a new owner. The uniqueness and quality of the wildlife habitat on this ranch simply cannot be overstated. It checks every box for what any hunter is looking for in a trophy whitetail hunting property and is located in an area with a proven track record for growing and holding monster whitetail bucks. Saline River tracts of this size and quality are an absolute rarity.
