Description
Tract 5 Description: 89.63± 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 30± acres of open ground, over a mile of creek frontage, abundant deer sign, and a well-rounded blend of feeding, bedding, and travel habitat, the property provides 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 30± 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 agricultural use while contributing to the property's overall wildlife habitat. The distribution of open ground creates opportunities to develop feeding areas that complement the surrounding timber and security cover. Extensive edge and transition habitat is found where the open acreage meets the surrounding timber. These areas provide natural travel routes for wildlife moving between feeding locations, bedding cover, and the creek bottoms. The combination of open fields, wooded edges, and thicker cover offers flexibility for future food plot development, including opportunities for larger destination plots and smaller feeding areas positioned near natural deer movement corridors.
One of the property's most significant features is its frontage along Livingston Creek. With over one mile of creek frontage, this waterway plays a major role in the hunting layout. Livingston Creek serves as an important 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 adjacent timbered ridges, adding to the property's variety of natural travel routes. The rolling landscape 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, complementing the surrounding open ground and creek corridors.
Numerous natural funnels and pinch points are found throughout the tract, where terrain features and habitat transitions can influence deer movement. These locations provide opportunities for strategic stand placement, particularly where timbered draws, bedding areas, and feeding locations come together. Plenty of deer sign has been observed throughout the property, further highlighting the regular use of the habitat by local wildlife. The extensive creek corridor adds another important component to the overall hunting setup. In addition to providing a water source, Livingston Creek connects different portions of the property through a continuous natural travel corridor. The combination of creek bottom habitat, rolling timbered terrain, and surrounding open ground provides a variety of opportunities for scouting and developing hunting strategies throughout the season.
An established entry road and interior trail system provide access throughout the property for hunting, scouting, food plot maintenance, and general land management. These improvements make it easier to reach different portions of the tract and provide a foundation for planning entry and exit routes while minimizing unnecessary disturbance to bedding and security cover. The property's combination of approximately 30± acres of open ground, potential row crop acreage, timbered ridges, and extensive creek frontage provides numerous possibilities for future habitat management. The ability to develop additional food plots, maintain open feeding areas, and utilize the existing natural travel corridors adds flexibility for buyers interested in improving and managing a dedicated hunting property.
With over a mile of Livingston Creek frontage, abundant deer sign, dense bedding cover, numerous funnels and pinch points, and established access, this Crittenden County tract offers a strong combination of recreational features. Its diverse landscape and extensive creek bottom habitat make it an attractive option for hunters seeking a Western Kentucky property with opportunities for long-term habitat management.
