This is very surreal. I have dreamt about this happening for almost 2 decades and I can't believe the pipe dream is coming true! We wrapped up negotiations yesterday and have our place under contract. OK is a little slower on closings, so it will probably be the end of Feb when we get closed. I'm absolutely ecstatic to get started. The 195 acres sits up above a bayou/large creek system that directly feeds into the Red River. I've got oaks, cedar, hickory, ash, pecan, bois d'arc and a few other species of trees. There a small creek that sits in a deep ravine that runs into the Bayou. There is also an 8 acre wetlands called the "The Donut". It could use a little work to turn it into a duck hunting mecca. It is part of 13k acre Mgmt association that has been in place for nearly 20 years. The area is a pretty solid waterfowl area. The previous owner went all out on blinds and feeders and will be leaving them behind. I bow hunt almost exclusively, but the blinds will be great for my friends and family. There are 3 Texas Wildlife Supply "Monster Blinds" 5x7 on 20 ft platforms and 4-5 nice protein and stand n'fill 600# feeders. I think the middle stand and feeders are too close the others. I'll probably end up moving it to a new spot on the south side of the property at some point. The feeders don't get a lot of use due to all the acorns in the area. There a few food plots that will need some work and I am looking forward to that more than anything. I look forward to habitat improvement projects and will update as we move along!one of my first projects will be thinning some cedars throughout the property and create additional wildlife openings.
I'll be heading back out in a few weeks and will post additional pics. Most of the pics below are of the open area. There is some much larger timber throughout the property.
