Russell County Bucks & Birds

This 159 acre tract in Russell County offers excellent whitetail deer, pheasant, and quail habitat. Rolling terrain with natural grass draws, a north-south tree row travel corridor, and seasonal water areas create ideal hunting conditions. Recently cut hay maintains clean, productive native grasses. Land Tucked away in NW Russell County, this +/-159 acre tract brings together everything that makes a property truly enjoyable to own, strong wildlife habitat, diverse terrain, and long-term potential. Whether you're chasing whitetails, working a bird dog through the grasses, looking for a solid land investment, or considering a country build, this place checks a lot of boxes. The land rolls just enough to be interesting, with gentle to moderate elevation changes that naturally carve out a series of grass-lined draws. These draws do double duty, serving as prime bedding cover and travel corridors for deer, while also creating ideal edge habitat and protection for pheasant and quail. A tree row/draw running north to south acts as a great travel route through the property, guiding deer movement and offering reliable stand locations, while also providing valuable shelter and transition zones for upland birds. Cover is one thing this property doesn't lack. When it hasn't been hayed, native grasses, pockets of thicker cover, and expired CRP ground create the kind of structure that holds wildlife year-round. Once the grasses have been let to grow up, the mix of grass height and density will more than support nesting, brood-rearing, and loafing for birds, while also giving deer the security they need to bed and move consistently throughout the season. A small water hole lies in the western 1/3 of the property offering an onsite drinking source for the wild game that call this property home. The sign is there to back it up too, with well used deer trails and bedding areas. Multiple pheasants and a covey of quail were seen while walking the property. Whether your focus is upland bird hunting, whitetail management, or long-term conservation, this property represents a unique opportunity to own a premium Kansas hunting tract in a well-traveled wildlife corridor.
