Property Description: Smith County is still a place of inspiration and it's also home to KSWE 0016.

With 400 acres (125 acres in row crops and 275 acres in pasture and nonproductive areas), four ponds, and a very private location, this property is a sleeper.

The grassland and row crop provide good habitat for upland birds such as pheasants and prairie chickens. In fact, prairie chickens have a lek on the pasture area of this property. Watching the annual mating ritual on the booming ground is quite fascinating. And, hearing there call is quite an experiance.

The property also contains four ponds which may provide an opportunity for some waterfowl shooting (it's also located about 28 miles northeast of Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge). Having lived not far from here I would see the bi-annual migration and hunt the waterfowl each pass.

The whitetail and mule deer range overlap in Smith County. Excellent quality deer of both species occupy this part of the state. KDWP allows up to six whitetail deer tags - one antlered and five antlerless permits - to be purchased for this unit (see KDWP regulations for more detail at http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/hunting/big_game/deer/deer_faq). I see deer on this property nearly every time I check it. The small group of trees located on the west side of the property seems to be a particularly popular bedding area.

While taking a break from your hunting on KSWE 0016, visit the cabin where Dr. Higley penned the unofficial anthem of the west Home on the Range. It's located just a short drive from KSWE 0016 on Kansas Highway 8.
If you are looking for a place to stay there are severel places such as the Buckshot Inn in Smith Center, KS. 785) 282-6644 or (800) 727-7332.

$1 million in hunting liability insurance included in lease price. Outfitters / Guides must carry additional insurance.
