Information: MS. AMERICA IS IN COWLEY COUNTY KANSAS! WELL NOT EXACTLY, BUT THIS IS ONE SEXY HUNTING PROPERTY!! 160 ACRES OF MID STAGE SUCCCESIONAL HABITAT � JUST WHAT QUAIL, TURKEY, AND WHITETAILS LOVE! As I pulled up to this farm, I thought �yep, this will be a good deer and quail property.� I could immediately see this farm had vegetation characterized by intermingled cool and warm season grasses, and well-established clusters of deciduous (mostly Osage Orange) and cedar trees. This mix is very common in central Kansas. It�s also one of the reasons whitetail, turkey and other species have expanded so successfully through this area. I visited this property on November 7, 2007. Wow, what a great experience. I flushed a covey of quail near the pond. As I worked across the north end of the property I observed good overhead thermal cover, escape routes, forage � not to mention the crop areas, both on this farm and continuous with it - along with weedy cover that functions as loafing haunts throughout much of the year. Because it was getting dark very quickly, I was in a hurry. Thus, I quickly moved down through the center of the farm noticing scrapes and well-used trails. I knew this was an excellent habitat, but confirmation is always a good thing! As I broke out of the trees into a very small hay meadow located in the middle of the property, I noticed two does moving down the east fence line. I stopped there in the open hay meadow and watched for just a few seconds. Then, I noticed a buck trailing about 50 yards behind them. Throwing up my binoculars, he appeared to be a nice 8. He labored through the thick grass trying to catch the does. I think he was saying �OK, ladies, you can stop now. I�m too old and fat to be chasing you all over this 160 acre farm.� Anyway, the does continued south along the fence then angled west right toward me with the buck in closing in fast. �Perfect� I thought. I snapped a quick long distance photo just in case. If you look at the first photo in the property description you�ll see that picture. Then I eased back into the trees and headed south intending to intercept the trio. Unfortunately, I sounded like Sasquatch rolling in stale Wheaties as tried to move across the fallen and dried hedge leaves. Not wanting to miss the photo op, however, I crept down the tree line in the center of the farm using it as a screen. I moved further south to the point where I thought the deer would be. Then, I erupted from the cover of the trees ready to snap my �Photo of the Year.� Alas, it appeared my calculations were a little off. Instead of being in front to the deer, they were another 50 or 60 yards south of my location! Having run out of the trees like my hair was on fire, all three deer immediately looked in my direction. The does instantly went into orbital velocity, but not the buck. He seemed quite willing to challenge my presences in his world, especially since I had just disturbed his does. We faced off for what seemed like an eternity. I matched his intense stare with a strong snort wheeze. He was pleased to stand there, discharging his hot vaporous breath against the long shadows of the quickly fading Kansas sunset. Then, having enough of my party pooping, he looped off like an over-confident teenage boy. I paused just long enough to eulogize my misfortune. I consoled my hard luck by saying to myself, �You�re right. It�s good farm.� �Stupid.� Okay, so what do you get with this lease? Well, first you get the opportunity to eulogize that buck rather than my bumbling photo exploits! Then, you get a very convenient location, just a quick 20 miles from Wichita, KS. Also included are 160 acres, a pond, great successional wooded habitat and 54 acres of crop area. Take 12 months to hunt all legal species. Plus we�ll include at no additional cost $1 million in hunting liability insurance. Outfitters/guides must provide their own additional insurance.
