Welcome to the Land Doctors latest listing, Skyline Ranch. This 1508-acre recreational ranch is located 18 miles northwest of McAlester, OK, 150 miles from northeast DFW and 80 miles from Tulsa. In addition, this wooded upland tract is located 1.5 miles east of the South Canadian River. The property generally consists of a long ridge that runs east and west with four deep hollows that run north from the ridge and three more hollows that run to the south. The combination of proximity to the river, excellent cover and large neighbors with limited hunting pressure, makes this an ideal hunting tract.
Four food plots with box blinds, protein feeders and corn feeders sit atop three ridges with the last being in the southeasternmost draw on the property. These food plots can easily be reached from ATV trails that branch off the private road built to access the gas wells and compressor sta...
Four food plots with box blinds, protein feeders and corn feeders sit atop three ridges with the last being in the southeasternmost draw on the property. These food plots can easily be reached from ATV trails that branch off the private road built to access the gas wells and compressor station. Throw in the numerous pipelines and this ranch has excellent accessibility for such a large and rugged property. In addition, these pipelines give you great views of both the landscape and the wildlife as they migrate through the property.
Five ponds and the wet weather creeks that drain the hillsides supply year round water for wildlife. The combination of slope and boulders of the main watercourses produces transient waterfalls after rainfall or snowmelt. Some excellent largemouth bass have been caught from the ponds and they are ideal for those who want to walk the shoreline and cast lures. The largest of the ponds is almost 2 acres in size and has two shallow arms separated by a nice peninsula; an ideal spot for the last cast of the day as the sun sinks low.
Whitetail deer are the main attraction of Skyline Ranch. In a typical day hunting from the box blinds, you will groups of 20 to 30 deer with a nice mixture of young bucks and does. The property has a history of producing trophy class bucks and the current owners have been very selective about which bucks they harvest. Hunting pressure has been minimal and the deer are very relaxed. Its easy to see good numbers of deer routinely and trophy bucks often enough to keep you excited and wanting to hunt more. In addition to the location near the river, large neighbors and consistent wildlife management, the property also benefits from a conservation easement for the American Burying Beetle. This easement has an endowment that provides for prescribed burning of the property. These fires do an excellent job of thinning the underbrush and resetting the native vegetation to encourage the growth of more palatable, higher protein forage.
Two building sites have been reserved for development. One is on the west end of the property and is an old home place. The second is on the eastern terminus of the ridge the overlooks the valley below. Both have great views and electric service nearby. The ultimate benefit of this property is that it is priced where you can afford to buy enough land that your growing family can enjoy it for decades. It is rugged enough that you can enjoy exploring it for years to come and accessible enough that you can get to it all. If you are looking for a hunting ranch large enough that everyone can safely enjoy it at the same time, then give Kelly Hurt a call at 580 421 7512 or email at .
