80 Acres Of Whitetail Excellence In Montgomery County, Ks

Nestled in Montgomery County, Kansas, an 80-acre wildlife property has undergone a remarkable transformation since 2021. Originally an overgrown, neglected farm, the property was revitalized with a focus on wildlife, particularly whitetail deer. The current owner used Dr. Grant Woods' habitat strategies and other wildlife management techniques to turn the land into a thriving sanctuary. The restoration involved extensive cedar removal to allow sunlight to penetrate the soil, promoting the growth of native grasses and forbs, which improved ground cover, fawning, and bedding areas for deer. More than half the property was dedicated to thick bedding cover, creating safe, low-pressure sanctuaries for deer, particularly mature bucks. These areas are complemented by carefully designed entry and exit routes to minimize human impact. Over 8 acres of food plots were strategically placed across the property using regenerative agriculture and cover crop methods, helping restore the soil and providing year-round nutrition for wildlife. Habitat improvements like edge feathering, hinge cutting, and screening vegetation were also implemented to improve cover and allow undetected access for hunters. The property features two fully stocked ponds providing water and fishing opportunities. The farm's buck-to-doe ratio is strong, with five or more mature bucks regularly observed. This low-pressure environment, with limited hunting in the surrounding area, has made the property a prime location for deer. An aggressive predator trapping program has further enhanced wildlife populations, especially upland game like turkey and quail. The property's thoughtful design, including predator control, food, water, and cover, makes it much more valuable than its 80-acre size suggests. Additional amenities include a storage building with a cupola for observation, a gas well providing royalty income, and year-round access via a gravel road. The farm is also eligible for non-resident Kansas deer permits, making it a highly attractive option for out-of-state hunters. See auction website for Auction Terms & Conditions.
