As you travel to this farm you will notice the lush river bottom ground that is full every year of excellent stands of corn, soybeans, and winter wheat. As you arrive to the east side of Big Oak you will see the remains from times long ago from the founding family that settled this farm. You can’t help but think of a flourishing young family farmyard full of chickens, livestock, and growing children playing as they sat on the porch overlooking the bottom fields.

Currently, both barns will serve as excellent storage options for keeping all your hunting supplies, blinds, feeders, or side-by-sides safe and out of the weather. As you travel just to the north and the west of the old farm site multiple small fields would make excellent food plots from alfalfa, radishes to clover. The north field is protected perfectly by a tree row allowing deer to come out of neighboring thick cover to feed and not be seen or bothered by the nearby road. As you travel to the west of this field you begin to see the excellent topography changes this farm has. Nearly 80 feet of elevation changes along this large bluff force deer on a tight travel corridor and make it an ideal transition between bedding cover to feed. Not far from this area is one of 3 small ponds that sit on this property. To keep the deer healthy all year this property has a wonderful spring feed creek that starts along the south side and runs to the southeast of the property, providing an additional clean water source. It is right here where the hardwoods on this farm come alive! Full of walnuts, oaks, hickory, and elms and it’s here you can see first-hand the number of scrapes and rubs up and down this stream.

Large acorns throughout this area of the farm provide a nice food source every year. As you exit the creek you naturally move up to the northwest portion of this farm to see a nice, manicured hay meadow. Trails mowed to the main shooting house allow for easy, quiet access. This shooting house is where many memories have been made. Full of laughs and stories of one that got away or just never showed up! This custom-built blind gives you a perfect 360-degree view of the farm and sits atop one of the highest points on the farm. Not only in an ideal location for gun season but it’s also a fantastic view to take in the sunrise over Big Oak!

What I love about Big Oak is the neighborhood. Large tracts of land with many of these surrounding farms being family-only spots. Well-managed farms in all directions have allowed Big Oak to have the right age class and genetics to continue to produce excellent trophy Kansas whitetail bucks every year. While this farm is set up right for the deer hunter in that fall, every spring this farm is full of gobbling Toms, strutting around the fields, chasing and fighting over that a hen. Big Oak sets up great for a spring turkey hunter with its raw size and mix of pasture to hardwoods and bottom lands a full day can be spent chasing a spring gobbler.

Big Oak is a wonderful family farm with over 135 feet of elevation changes, spring feed creeks, multiple ponds, hay meadows, and bottomland. This farm needs minimal work for immediate success. Situated in Deer Unit 12 and a prime neighborhood, this farm has a rich family history, a high success rate, and a neighborhood that grows deer that most only dream of!
