Recreational Hunting Sanctuary in Claiborne County

Description

This 533 acres property is located in the middle of a vast and remote area of Claiborne County that is well known for thousands of acres of heavily managed hunting land.  Located 1.6 miles east of the Big Black River and south of Gunns Bayou, the land is in a perfect area for deer and turkey.  The land is fully developed from a deer and turkey hunting standpoint, and there have been very limited bucks harvested due to strict management over the past 10 years.  150 to 160 inch bucks are commonly seen on the property and surrounding properties.

Old Floyd Road (now closed) extends well into the property from the west and provides excellent all-weather interior access.  The layout boasts a carefully thought-out food plot design with strategic tree stand and box blind setups.  Some of the hardwood ridges and bottom areas are the prettiest we have seen.  Minimal disturbance from hunting pressure and human intrusion has characterized the owner's management plan over his ownership tenure.   Other features that increase the tract's huntability are two points of access and an intricate trail system, a portion of which follows a significant distance of the land's perimeter.  These features make this property a true wildlife and hunting sanctuary.  

Power and water are run from the paved road access at the main entrance, which is about 550 feet away, to a secluded cabin site.  A gas line runs through the center of the property for about a mile and is an excellent corridor for wildlife viewing.  The soil on this property is comprised of Memphis and Natchez silt loams, the same soil type found along the banks of the Big Black River.

Another interesting fact about this property is that it has only changed ownership once in the last 70+ years.   The only reason this property is being offered is that the owner is moving out west and will be unable to maintain it to the highest standard possible, as he has done over the last decade.
