Platte River Waterfowl Lore was better known as The Drakes Nest Hunting Club and is located in Darr, Nebraska just ten miles west of Lexington, Nebraska off Interstate 80 at exit 231. The Drakes Nest Hunting Club was a quality waterfowl hunting destination for hunters from all over the country that wanted a top notch waterfowl hunting experience and a wine and dine experience after the hunt. This business ran successfully for nearly 30 years. This property sits smack dab in the middle of the Central Flyway so during migration times the sky is full of waterfowl. The Seller has maintained this property over the years with weed and tree management, specifically cottonwood tree removal and Phragmites grass removal. This specific type of grass is an invasive grass that absorbs water and spreads. With this maintenance, the river corridor is wide here, and conducive for waterfowl. Platte River Waterfowl Lore can also be considered a multi species property as many wild turkeys and white tail deer inhabit the property as well. After the morning hunt, enjoy sitting in the cabin and watch the wildlife come alive. Turkeys will come to the patio window and strut in front of you while wood ducks and other waterfowl land in the pond just off the patio. Some of the amenities that come with this property include, a top notch propane heated deer stand located in a strategic location, big game hoist to hang your game, a processing table with hole in the center to dispose of scraps, good trails around the property and nearly 22 acres to plant a food plot. No matter what your quarry is, the desirability for a waterfowl spot is at a premium. This property is set up to start enjoying right out of the gate.
