RecreationOne of the key values to this property is its recreation. High numbers of whitetail deer, wild hog and wild turkey all thrive here. The Pecan orchards were selectively cut years ago that created a blanket of underbrush for some exceptional wildlife habitat. There are areas that have been cleared that can be made into food plots in key areas. The feeder location is fenced and the deer and hog visit the feeder daily. For the bow hunter the property offers excellent heavy timber for trees stands in any area of the property. Gun hunting is a given with long open areas and heavy timbered creeks and valleys. Besides the great big game hunting the property will offer some great waterfowl hunting as the backwaters of Lake Eufaula and the Canadian River all back into the property from the east. This backwater from Lake Eufaula gives the landowner not only waterfowl hunting but some prime spring Crappie and Bass fishing as well. The water backs into the old standing timber and brush offering great fish habitat all year long. Another great feature to this property is its access to Lake Eufaula as the property borders this public recreational area.

AgricultureThe 168 acres is completely fenced and cross fenced. Currently running 60 plus units of cattle the property offers many areas that can be improved to add additional grazing pasture that would increase the ranch's overall cattle capacity. Treated and cleared areas have recently been improved to offer more grazing pastures.
