Tract 4 is the combination of the previously described Tracts 2 and 3 and totals 240 acres more or less. This tract is located at the intersection of 190th Rd. and Indian Rd. northwest of Yates Center. This parcel is composed of native grass pasture, heavy timber along the north boundary with a creek, 2 ponds and current oil production. There’s a good mix of robust grass types here with the primary being Big Bluestem and Indiangrass along with some Little Bluestem and Switchgrass, all being the desirable types that flourish when tame grass falters.
As evidenced by the sprayer tracks in the pasture, this grass was sprayed last year by the tenant using Pasturegard and Tordon. The pasture has obviously reacted well as there’s a substantial amount of grass left from last year’s grazing season. Existing boundary fences are constructed of barbed wire. The west fence is 4 strand rated adequate to good depending on the portion evaluated. The south fence is 4 and 5 strand rated fair. The east fence is 4 strand rated from fair to good depending on the portion evaluated. The north fence is 4 strand rated fair to good depending on the portion evaluated.
For the hunter looking for some return on investment as there’s a substantial whitetail population inhabiting the property and there’s tremendous upside with some addition of feed and management. The majority of the central section of the south half of the property is a canopy of hardwoods with scattered cedars and a creek running most of the length of the tract. his property is located in the highly reputable Kansas Deer Management Unit # 14 and the deer genetics that mindful whitetail managers desire should be present. With the addition of foodplots and feeders, this tract should really bloom. There’s good access points from the east and west roads. The areas along the creek on the south side of the timber would be an excellent location for feeders. There’s a substantial elevation change going upwards to the south that’s in native grass pasture, providing excellent bedding cover just steps away from water and mature, dense timber.
