Dramatic elevation changes create a playground of features: small bluffs rising like ancient sentinels, long and level ridge tops perfect for glassing distant valleys, saddles that funnel game movement, huge wooded flats ideal for strategic stands, and intimate ravines that hide travel corridors. Several park-like clearings have been opened up, ready to seed as food plots, imagine brassicas, chicory, and clover drawing deer into bow range under the harvest moon. Rock formations dot the landscape, some towering and majestic, others forming natural shelters. One standout is a genuine tunnel carved through a bluff along the creek bank, a geological wonder that's as photogenic as it is functional. Endless hunting setups await: trails are cleared with ready-to-plant food plot locations on the ridge for long-range rifle shots, several stand locations can be set up along the saddles for close encounters, or even spot-and-stalk opportunities across the varied topography.
