This quarter section of native grass, cottonwoods, and CRP is an excellent spot for hunting whitetail deer and turkeys with nearly complete seclusion and reliable access. Located only 15 miles from Hays, this property is an easy drive from Interstate 70 with the majority of the travel on HWY 183 and a blacktop county road. With the Smoky Hill River just over a mile to the North, this is an area that features very healthy whitetail deer and turkey numbers. There is a long draw running through this land that eventually ties into the Smoky Hill River. This is inevitably a high deer traffic area for much of the year with deer traveling to and from the river bottom, and bucks pushing does from the river to properties like this during the rut. This property has great seclusion and is very relaxing during Fall hunting seasons with the only road frontage at the Southeast corner of the land. The cottonwood-lined bottom on this property is not visible from any nearby road. Several turkeys have been seen on the property and captured on trail cam throughout the Spring as well. If you are looking for an excellent, secluded hunting spot for hunting trophy whitetails and strutting toms, or just a great property to take the family – this is the place for you!
