For turkey hunters, the thick cover, ridge systems, and surrounding habitat provide everything needed to support a healthy population of longbeards.
One of the propertys most attractive features is the large open ridgetop field, which offers an outstanding opportunity for a destination food plot. With excellent sunlight exposure, favorable topography, and ample acreage, this area has the potential to become a major food source capable of drawing and holding wildlife throughout the season.
