The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission in the spring of 2000 has voted to acquire the 4200 acres that adjoins this tract for sale on our north border. They plan to enhance and develop this tract for waterfowl making our tract even more valuable and desirable.
We are about ready to roll with the sale of this unsurpassed waterfowl hunting property. In the summer of '98 we built 6 miles of levee and 8 water control structures under the guidance of Ducks Unlimited and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. A diversion Dam to be completed in the summer of '98 was postponed until this summer. This will divert water onto the largest moist soil unit in Arkansas and probably the entire Mississippi flyway. This moist soil unit will naturally grow approximately 2,000 pounds per acre of the waterfowl's favorite food...wild millet, smartweed, barnyard grass, and duckweed... and you don't have to plant it ... it comes up naturally.
The rest of the acreage has been replanted in nutall oak, pecan, and ash. There are 75 designated food plots within the reforested area. There is great green timber shooting available adjoining this 2,900 acres.
Call me for more information. This tract features frontage on the White River and Raft Creek, the best duck and goose hunting, good deer, and dove hunting and fishing. Each tract will feature land in the moist soil unit and oak plantation (tree farm for tax and investment purposes) that will grow 600 board feet per acre per year($200 per acre per year at today's prices).
The owner also constructed 35 waterfowl nesting and resting mounds approximately 3-4 feet tall and 30 feet long. These are really great for sitting on your bucket or stool amidst the cover and then standing to shoot. More are planned for this summer.
In 1998 duck hunting property prices soared through the roof with 160 acre tracts selling as high as $9,000 per acre and many tracts bringing $2-3,000 per acre. These tracts were not as good as this one for shooting waterfowl and this one is only $3,300 per acre at the present time but may go up dramatically as it sells.
