Private Easement Access , Henrietta, TX 76365(Clay County)

The southern top part of the ranch has a 24 acre wheat field and a deer camp with water and electricity. The well was dug within a year and can sustain 4 gpm of water. The electric has a 220 hook-up for an RV or trailer. The field is cross fenced separately from the pasture, and a line was run over from the well to a stock tank with a floater. A newly constructed set of pipe pens is here too, with working chute and lane. A metal shed is next to the pens, which provides shelter for livestock or a place to park equipment or ATVs. The owner has been using the field to grow winter wheat, for rotational grazing and feeding deer. The ranch has sustained 20 cows, with minimal feeding.

Of the remaining 136 acres, about half is grass pasture for cattle and half is wooded hunting country. The woods have nearly a mile of different creek ravines running through it in two main forks, and the whole place slopes north downward to this area. From on top, there is a really nice view across the Red River valley. Two water tanks have been dug off of these drainages in the grass pasture, one of which was recently cleaned out to a 20 depth. The creek gulleys hold water with seasonal rain. They create a corridor for wildlife coming up out of the Red River basin to the ranchs wheat field, allowing for multiple places to set up feeders and staging areas. One tripod and two spin feeders will convey with sale.

Wildlife here includes big whitetail deer, feral hog, Rio Grande turkey, migratory dove, and predators such as coyote and bobcat. The creek bottoms have lots of hardwood trees, including native pecan and bodark, which help attract and grow massive bucks. The owner has regularly seen herds of 20+ deer at feeder. A person can expect 160-170 class bucks here, with at least one trophy each season. The property is accessed by a mile long deeded easement through the neighbor to the south, so there are is no worry of road hunters. You will also find wild plum, mesquite, and elm trees.

In December 2005, a monster 34 point non-typical whitetail was taken about 1.5 miles to the east. This buck had a net B & C score of 227 and 5/8ths and placed fourth all time in the Texas Big Game awards that year. The newspaper article detailing the story states: the genetics in this area are fantastic for producing large deerafter he shot his winning buck last year, he photographed one that would have scored at least 190 point for a typical rack (see Clay County Leader 1/12/06 article in PHOTO GALLERY). How would you like to hang one of those on your wall?

Big Creek Ranch will give you that opportunity, as well as produce some income through cattle grazing. If you didnt want to graze the place yourself, a neighbor will rent it. Property doesnt come available for sale in this area often, so dont miss this opportunity.

Asking Price: $2250/acre (no minerals)
