We just closed on a pretty neat little hunting and fishing property. I am pretty excited so thought I would share.
It is located about an hour and half south of Kansas City.
It is 170 acres in total and sits a half mile off the road for complete privacy. It has a 30 acre shallow duck lake, a 10 acre fishing lake, another 6 acre shallow duck slough and it borders a small river as the north boundary. The remainder is mostly river bottom woods to include a nice little pecan orchard (for a couple thousand bucks a year if I want to have them harvested) as well as some open areas for some small food plots. It also has about 10 acres that could be tilled (or a huge food plot). it has a well maintained but older farm house and has about a 3 acre yard with plenty of room for a nice garden.
This is truly a four season property. It is located on a major flyway so with all the water duck and goose hunting should be amazing. It has a healthy deer and turkey population (only about 7 miles from the KS border so hopefully some of those bruiser genes will work their way over some years). And then I have small game and plenty of fishing to keep me busy the rest of the year.
I have a lot to learn, but am excited to get to mange my own place. I majored in Wildlife and Fisheries at A&M so I am pretty pumped to finally dust off a few of my fish and wildlife management pubs and see if I remember any of it.
I'm sure a lot of expenses and hard work are in my future as well as many trial and errors. But this has been a dream of mine a long time and things fortunately lined up financially and job wise to make this dream a reality. I'm definitely thankful and very excited to learn and manage the land!
