Thick cover occupies the majority of this tract providing deer excellent bedding and transitional cover adjacent to the nearby food sources and agricultural fields.  The property has been managed under QDM principles for many years with several trophy-sized bucks having been harvested from its diverse ecosystem.  With a wide-ranging mix of soft and hardwood deciduous trees this property provides a haven for deer along the many edges that make up a multitude of transitional zones and elevations.  In addition, there are several thick stands of pines that offer security and thermal cover during various times of the year, increasing the land’s holding potential for deer.  Multiple trail systems that weave across the land’s entire footprint further demonstrate the potential that a healthy population of deer call this land home.  Waterfowlers will enjoy the series of tucked-away pothole ponds and puddles used by ducks and geese during various times of the year, where they find a great sanctuary in close proximity to the well-known grounds of the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.  An extensive and well-maintained trail system winds throughout the property providing easy access and navigation of the benches and a ridge-top haven that’s bright with sunlight thanks to its scattered mature trees and thick successional brush.  Meanwhile, several openings along the trail provide excellent locations for food plots that could be hunted from the ground or an elevated position. With close access to the New York State Thruway at either the Waterloo or Weedsport exits, this property is within easy driving distance of both Rochester and Syracuse making it an excellent choice for recreation close to home.  There are also 27.70+/- acres to the north that could also be up for discussion of sale should a buyer be interested in an even larger footprint of land as part of this transaction.  Call me today to experience the wide-reaching virtues of this unique piece of land and schedule your own private showing.
