One thing buyers are always asking or looking for is a property next to a wildlife reserve, or sanctuary with limited or no hunting, and those are simply hard to come by. Well, as you may have guessed, here is that opportunity. This 1121-acre picturesque Gyp Hill ranch is located next to a gypsum production area in the heart of Barber County, which by all accounts is considered a limited harvest area. There has always been a very high-end age structure to the deer in this area as the Gypsum plant allows for sanctuary and very limited or no hunting. If you scroll through the inventoried historic trail camera pictures, you will see that this property is no stranger to giant deer and old deer! The genetics are always important, and this area has great genetics, Gyp-Hills minerals in the soils, and of course, mature animals. This ranch maintains literally a thousand cracks and crevices with mostly rolling cedar-covered habitat, but there are still good low-bottom areas with reasonable soils that allow for excellent food plot implementation. Those cracks and crevices also allow for the ability to get around on the vast majority of the ranch without moving the deer and wildlife and sets up for many hunt spots. The deer in these hills have a comfort level in this thick habitat of cedars, grass, and plum thickets, where they will hang tight as they are accustomed to minimal activity. Food in the area is also very limited as it is mostly hilly terrain, and with food plots and feeders in place, the draw is real, and as the fall progresses, this property always gets busier with intense activity. If you are in the market for that special place, where the rut is a gong show, and encounters with big mature bucks are an every year occurrence, this property is a bona fide big deer producer, period!
