The deer hunting on this property is world class and this island has the reputation as being second to none for growing quality game, holding plentiful turkey, wild boar and attracting and holding ducks.

Archery/bow hunting is the primary focus of the historical ownership. The owner allows his father along with women and children to rifle hunt, while all other guests are restricted to archery hunting only. This promotes a fair game chase while restricting the number of mature bucks that are harvested annually. We would like to note that there is also a standing rule that any buck deer harvested on the property must be shoulder mounted by a reputable taxidermist and remain on showcase within the lodge for one year.

There are five (5) permanent 2-person deer shooting houses (Texas Hunters) located throughout the property and sixteen (16) solid ladder/lock on deer stands that are taken down and put up annually. There is one (1) floating duck blind with the potential for several more.

Food is abundant for the wildlife with over 200 acres of small, medium and large spans of food plots (25) that are managed by a professional full time caretaker. Annual food plots consist of soybeans, clover, turnips, wheat and oats with 10 roofed feeders (protein pellet and corn mixed as needed, but no feeding during hunting season) and they have paid off based on the the sheer volume of game on the island. The manicured roads on the island are full of sites to impress any outdoorsman because of its size and secluded set up.

The balance of the island consists of mature uneven age timber (Cottonwoods, Hackberry, Mulberry, Willows and Oaks), in which only 250 acres have ever been select cut in this ownership history, and it is estimated that the balance of the property has not seen a chainsaw in over fifty years.
