At the heart of the property is a carefully managed mix of hardwood timber, cover, and food plots six established food plot locations are spread across the farm, with excellent bedding and travel corridors between them. Carruthers Creek winds through the land, bringing with it not only beauty but rich bottom ground, scattered with mature walnut trees. On the east side, a hardwood ridge full of white oaks creates a natural hot spot for deer movement, especially in the fall. South-facing slopes in the southwest corner provide critical winter bedding, while the thick CRP fields wrap the plots like a protective buffer all part of a well-established butterfly and pollinator program that brings in $4,000 annually.
