Ron Skoronski's Bnc Whitetail Farm

Farm Description

Imagine your day starting with a 4am alarm signaling you to rise from your sleepless night filled with images from the previous day's hunt. As you start your morning coffee routine, you walk tirelessly across the red pine flooring and down the hand-sewn lodgepole pine hallway to your digital weather station. Your thoughts are centered around the harvest of one specific deer, a 7 year old giant known to only a few close friends as the M&M buck.

After reviewing the wind patterns and speeds, your gut feeling tells you that today is the day you've been waiting for since your last encounter with the monarch almost a year ago to date. Just to confirm your instincts are correct, you discuss your stand selection with your legendary land manager who agrees that today is the day you will slip into the stand site known affectionately as, the Cardiac Pond Set. You and your personal cameraman load your gear into the silent cart that will take you to your final destination of a journey that has lasted several years in your pursuit of the deer of the ages.

For Ron Skoronski, this dream scenario is reality each day of the fall hunting season. Together with renowned ranch manager Steve Snow, they have built the ultimate whitetail legacy farm in Decatur County, Iowa. With nearly 3400 contiguous acres comprising the farm, Steve has carefully crafted multiple lush food plots with specific architecture designed to drop the defenses of some of the largest racked whitetails in the country. Multiple deer have tipped the scales over 300+lbs. while sporting over 200" of both typical and non-typical antler configurations.

Manicured trails and immaculate stands of imperial clover, beans, and corn wind through some of the finest soils in the county, producing an excellent return in both investment dollars and inches of antler. 28 ponds dot the property overlooking scenic vistas where the owner can literally say that everything he can see from there, is his. Deep timbered draws of cedars and honey locust drop down from veneer quality oaks and walnut ridges to form incredible pinch points and travel corridors between prime bedding and feeding areas. Multiple creeks stream through the property that invoke images of rut crazed bucks traveling the beautiful corridors, crossing deeply cut trails in search of that single scent that drives so many of them to the point of near death exhaustion.

78 double stand sets are in place for the upcoming season to accommodate both a hunter and cameraman to capture the fall display of the ultimate whitetail environment. As the seasons shift into cold winter days, 9 King Ranch deluxe blinds are positioned in key locations that will clearly define a world-class whitetail display for the next owner's personal trophy room.

During the spring months, you can spend time with family and friends creating eternal memories of magic Morel Mushroom harvests and phenomenal farm pond fishing. This is the time of the year that the farm's beauty pierces deep into your soul with the sound of relentless gobbling that, in certain hollows, can seem almost deafening. The clear surface of the many ponds will ripple with intense eruptions from the largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill that surface to devour pond frogs and insects that are unaware of the danger from below. Cruising hardwood ridges and fencelines will reveal the winter survival of the ones that got away, and the ones that made it through, despite their old age.

Amenities include a gorgeous 4000+ sq. ft. lodgepole pine custom built home with an attached heated garage, custom home theater system, sophisticated high-end appliances, and custom furniture. A modern, ranch manager residence, with over 6100 sq. ft features 7 bedrooms and a third smaller home that lies near the center of the farm. Multiple sheds and grain storage bins are also included in the sale of the property. For full details, we have broken the farm into three separate tracts on additional web pages titled the Cardiac, The Home Place, and the Andrews Farm. The owner would consider selling the farm in three separate tracts. To schedule a private showing of the ultimate display of whitetail perfection, call me, , at today!
