This turnkey, professionally managed 375-acre high-fenced whitetail operation represents over a quarter-century of dedicated deer management in Louisiana's premier bottomland hardwood habitat. Located adjacent to the 17,000+ acre Lake Ophelia National Wildlife Refuge, this ranch offers the opportunity to own a proven trophy deer producer. Twenty-five years of culling, genetic enhancement and habitat management have created a herd that produces consistent wall-hangers. The high fence ensures complete control over the deer herd, allowing for management of age structure, buck-to-doe ratio, and the genetic direction of the herd. The bottomland hardwood ecosystem produces natural mast crops that supplement feeding programs. Mature oaks, pecans, sweet gums, and hickories create a canopy that produces abundant natural forage. Established food plots, feeding stations, and water sources are strategically positioned throughout the property. The managed habitat also supports excellent small game populations, with diverse understory and mast-producing canopy creating outstanding squirrel hunting. There is also an abundant wild turkey population. Infrastructure includes a high fence perimeter in excellent condition with regular maintenance history and an established food plot system with known planting schedules and proven locations. Feeding infrastructure is strategically placed throughout the property. The property is located in Marksville, LA 71351.
