This property is an active high fence hunting preserve loaded with some of the best and most sought after genetics you will find in the whitetail breeding world.

If you are looking at this property and a high fence preserve is not your style….. do not overlook the fact that this farm is also located in one of the largest and most highly managed sections for whitetails in Decatur County.

If you are looking at this property and a high fence preserve is not your style….. do not overlook the fact that this farm is also located in one of the largest and most highly managed sections for whitetails in Decatur County. The seller is willing to work with a buyer on removing the deer and opening up strategic areas of the fence to put this tract back to an “OPEN RANGE” property. I have personally hunted in and around this section my entire life and can tell you 1st hand that it is killer hunting and the management is as good as you will find. The section is full of very large landowners (multiple up to 900+ acres) that put very little pressure on their farms and manage for B&C whitetails, with multiple B&C class bucks being harvested on a yearly basis. If you are one of those Buyers out there that has been watching this Decatur County market for the past 5 years you know that only a handful of farms like this one come available on the open market on a yearly basis and they don’t last long! The comps at or above the asking price for this tract are plentiful in this immediate area. Call for details!
