Deer are local so they are there during all seasons. 

DEGREE OF PHYSCIAL EXERTION: The property is flat farmland to sound hills with roads through the farm land. Minimal exertion as a rule unless walking the sand hills.

Most successful hunting style is watch from cover with vantage point first thing in the morning as the deer return to day time bedding area, then spot and stalk if needed. The deer tend to eat is agricultural areas during the morning, evening and night, then bed in the numerous location of cover during the day.

Primarily you will be hunting about 2500 acres of private land but there is access to 1500 acres of special program CRP Currently. 

 The detail of the private land is as follows, 700 acres divided into 6 acres of trees, 200 corn,, 194 wheat, and 100 pasture. The pasture has draws that drain down to black creek. These draws are filled with brush where the deer bed during the day.

 Upon arrival at the farm hunters will meet with the owner and sign waivers then the owner will provide the hunters with a map of the property, with noted fence lines of the property. Commenting where he has seen deer, and how to meet to check out when the hunt is over. The back of the map is a permission slip to hunt the property and has the owner’s phone number for contact if needed. 

 It is recommended to bring binoculars and even a spotting scope if available.

BEST DATES BY SPECIE:

The deer are local so they are always in the area. They do tend to change feeding areas as crops ripen and different feed is available. This provides good hunting during all seasons.

______________________________________________________________________________

 His 700 acres is their deer feed plus 6 acres of woods. The pasture is called that because it is not useable for anything else. It is ravines full of buck brush and thickets that the mule deer bed in.

His corn is of course a good magnet, and last year it was winter wheat that was green in November. He will combine it any day so for this fall it may be green again or it may just have volunteer.

 Many deer from the sand hills come in and winter during the December Muzzleloader season. 

He also has a lot of quail and pheasants because of his corn, milo and cover.

The plan is to book opening weekend with a premium and a discounted end of the season with pheasants.

  This property has never been commercially booked in the past years.

  Stores for shopping and supplies break down as minimal in Culbertson, but McCook, 20 miles away is a full service town with Wal-Mart and even gun shops and gunsmiths available.
