Description
Tract 4 Description: 97.07± Acres
Located in Crittenden County, Kentucky, this diverse hunting tract offers an excellent combination of open ground, timbered ridges, creek bottom habitat, and extensive frontage along Livingston Creek. With approximately 24± acres of open ground, over a mile of creek frontage, abundant deer sign, and a well-balanced mix of feeding, bedding, and travel habitat, the property offers an appealing setup for deer and turkey hunting. Rolling topography, natural funnels and pinch points, and an established access system further enhance the recreational opportunities found throughout the tract. The property features rolling terrain that transitions into creek bottoms along Livingston Creek. Approximately 24± acres of open ground provide excellent opportunities for establishing food plots and developing a strategic feeding program. Portions of this acreage also offer potential for row crop production, adding another possible use to the property while contributing to the overall wildlife habitat. The combination of open ground and surrounding timber creates extensive edge and transition cover throughout the farm. These habitat changes provide natural travel areas for wildlife moving between feeding locations, bedding cover, and the creek bottoms. With multiple opportunities for food plot development, a new owner could establish a combination of larger feeding areas and smaller, strategically positioned plots to complement the property's existing habitat.
One of the defining features of this tract is its extensive frontage along Livingston Creek. With over one mile of creek frontage, this waterway plays a significant role in the property's hunting layout. Livingston Creek serves as a major rut travel corridor, providing a natural route for bucks moving through the surrounding landscape during the breeding season. The creek bottom terrain also creates transitions between lower elevations and the surrounding timbered ridges, offering opportunities to identify and hunt natural movement patterns. The rolling terrain rises from the creek bottoms into timbered ridges and draws consisting of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods. These timbered areas provide seasonal food sources, travel cover, and additional habitat diversity. Areas of dense bedding and security cover offer secluded locations for whitetails, creating important habitat away from the more open portions of the property.
Numerous funnels and pinch points are found throughout the tract, where terrain features and habitat transitions can naturally influence deer movement. These locations provide opportunities for strategic stand placement, particularly where timbered draws, bedding cover, and feeding areas come together. Plenty of deer sign has been observed throughout the property, further highlighting the regular use of these habitat features by local wildlife. The extensive creek corridor adds another important component to the hunting setup. In addition to providing a water source, Livingston Creek creates a natural travel route that connects different portions of the property. The combination of creek bottom habitat, rolling timbered terrain, and surrounding open ground provides a variety of locations for scouting and developing hunting strategies throughout the season.
An established entry road and interior trail system provide access throughout the tract for hunting, scouting, food plot maintenance, and general property management. These improvements allow convenient movement between different habitat areas and provide a foundation for planning entry and exit routes while minimizing unnecessary disturbance to bedding and security cover. The property's blend of open acreage, timbered ridges, creek bottoms, and dense cover offers numerous possibilities for future habitat management. Food plot development, potential row crop acreage, and the existing natural travel corridors provide flexibility for tailoring the property to specific hunting and recreational goals.
With approximately 24± acres of open ground, over a mile of frontage along Livingston Creek, diverse timbered habitat, abundant deer sign, and established access, this Crittenden County property offers a strong combination of recreational features. Its extensive creek frontage, natural funnels and pinch points, and excellent bedding cover make it an attractive option for buyers seeking a versatile Western Kentucky hunting tract.
