Description
This incredible hunting ranch offering consists of 1,112 +/- acres of incredible hunting habitat located 15 miles NW of Hays, KS. This large block of hunting, grazing, and cropland is situated just over 1 mile north of the SALINE RIVER in an area that is known for consistently producing trophy Boone & Crockett quality whitetail deer. This area of the county has produced multiple record-class whitetail bucks in recent years, and this property is 100% set up for success!
This incredible ranch features multiple deep wooded canyons, over 250 total acres of fertile silt loam cropland, several large, deep hidden bottoms throughout with scattered timber and thickets, and a sizeable food plot in the center with a seasonal stream, multiple pond sites, and water piped to tanks from 3 separate wells. Large portions of the ranch contain tall plum thickets and sumac, scattered cedars, and hardwood filled draws and canyons. A large 7-8 acre food plot has been established in the main canyon valley and is currently planted to an outstanding milo (sorghum) plot. This food plot area contains fertile soil types and is strategically planted in an area that can be hunted from both the east and west sides, from hilltops overlooking the bottom. This food plot is situated in a large valley along the main water channel that runs through the center of the ranch. The views from the hilltop blinds make an all-day sit during the November/December rifle season a very enjoyable experience.
It is hard to imagine a whitetail hunting ranch package deal any better than this. The prime location near the Saline River and the overall quality of the whitetail deer in this area alone should be enough to pull the trigger on purchasing this incredible property. The quail populations in this area are at an all-time high, pheasant populations are good, and there will be opportunities to harvest a trophy Kansas Rio Grande turkey every spring as well. This ranch has it all. In addition, the ranch is turney and set up for success. There are 3 shooting houses on the ranch, a portable hay bale blind, 11 wildlife feeders, and 3 water wells feeding water to tanks for the deer. These improvements, in addition to the 185 acres currently planted to milo, 5 acres of peas and oats planted in a food plot, 5 ponds, and some of the most rugged timbered canyons in the area, equals long-term hunting success and wildlife sustainability in one of the top whitetail hunting areas in the state of Kansas!
Aside from the incredible qualities the land itself provides, the security of the ranch puts it over the top compared to anything else around. The entire perimeter of the ranch is fenced, and over 2 miles of the fencing is brand new. The ranch is accessed through several locked gates directly from a few different well-maintained roads that all experience very low traffic. There is zero road frontage through the center of the property – providing minimal intrusion and no public traffic through the center of the property. The entire 1,112 +/- acres is contiguous, and you cannot see the majority of the ranch from any road. With its close vicinity to the Saline River, there is little doubt this ranch will have a few Kansas bruisers stomping through it in the fall. It is literally a huge sanctuary for the deer—the kind of ranch an old, heavy-bodied Booner quality whitetail buck prefers to call home.
With its prime location in the Saline River valley, incredible seclusion and bedding cover, hundreds of acres of cropland (wildlife food sources), and located in an area saturated with trophy whitetail genetics, this ranch is as good as it gets and is not a common offering in this part of the state.
