From the entrance on the west side to the creek bottom, the topography changes by 90 ft. (890' to 810') Approximately 5 acres of pasture around the entrance has been grubbed and cleared; the balance of the property is tall trees, including post oak, elm, pecan, bodark and some mesquite. As you enter the property, the road winds you past a grove of oaks with views that take you across the fishing pond to the creek valley. Electricity and a water well are in place here too, making for the perfect home building site. The well is 200 ft. deep and has 60 ft. of water in it. It produces 18 gallons per minute using a 1.5 hp pump.
The ranch has a good set of interior roads that wind through the trees. The perimeter is fenced, with exception of 1920 ft. along part of the south side.
HUNTING:
This property has been managed for 15 years to produce quality whitetail bucks. Only selective culls and does have been harvested, leaving the trophies to reproduce. It has been hunted by family, no commercial leases. The ranch has strong numbers of whitetails and feral hogs, with turkey too.
With the lands many meadows and draws, you could set up staging areas virtually anywhere. The owner has concentrated on two main food plots, which are sewn in wheat and have corn spin feeders, one on each side of the creek. The property is surrounded by other properties with either thick trees or improved coastal fields. There doesnt appear to be much hunting pressure around it. It can be rifle or bow hunted.
WATER:
The land has two main water features: 1) Salt Creek AND 2) a fishing pond
Salt Creek is a live water stream in Montague County, and the property has approximately 2,072 ft. of frontage on both sides of it. While it doesnt have fish in it, it is still an excellent draw to wildlife, as evidenced by the consistent game tracks going up and down its banks. The creek originates just southwest of Montague and flows north until it merges with the Red River ten miles north of the ranch. The creek has one crossing on it to get from one side to the other, which is accessible with a UTV or four wheeler.
The pond was dug out 10 years ago to a 18 ft. depth at the dam and stocked with channel cat, crappie and hybrid perch. There are some monster catfish in the tank now, which adds to the year around enjoyment of the property. It is around 0.7 surface acres large.
