Wildlife Mecca
Description
Wildlife Mecca is a beautiful property with gently rolling terrain located in north-central Oklahoma near the community of Perry. Specifically located just 1.5 miles west of I-35 and 1/2 a mile north of Hwy 412 means it is extremely accessible from any direction. The main entry gate is located roughly 1 mile from Hwy 412 just off of a county-maintained gravel road. A centrally located +/- 33 Acre watershed lake is the main recreational feature. Nestled into the east bank and protected by two majestic shade trees is a quaint cabin that is perfect for weekend getaways or a hunting retreat. This property has been in the same family for generations and according to the county assessor info, the original cabin was built in 1920.
The possibility for waterfowl improvements on the property appears to be extremely favorable for someone willing to work with the seasonal nature of the lake water level. After the drought of 2022, the water has receded to the deeper portions of the lake. However, this affords a picture-perfect opportunity for establishing a crop of Chiowapa or Japanese Millet in the shallow areas like they used to do at Kaw Lake back in the good ol' days. By broadcasting 10-20 acres worth of millet around the lake it should bring the mallards in by the trainloads! North-Central Oklahoma has had a long-standing reputation for quality deer, upland birds, and waterfowl. More recently, the waterfowl migration has continued to build more and more into this area with strong populations of wintering Canada geese, Specs, Snow Geese, and of course mallards! Sooner Lake, Kaw Lake, The Great Salt Plains, The Salt Fork of the Arkansas River, and the Cimarron River are all synonymous with quality waterfowl in northern, OK and this property is positioned right in the middle of those wintering hotspots.
Cattle have not been grazed here in years giving the native grasses a chance to grow tall and thick. This bedding cover makes Wildlife Mecca the obvious sanctuary choice for the numerous whitetails that call it home. The property seems to have an abundant population of quail and even some pheasants! This general part of OK currently has the best population of quail and pheasants in the state!
There are several nearby airports including Perry Municipal with a 5110ft x 75ft runway only 6 miles ESE from the property, and Enid-Woodring Airport with an 8613ft x 100ft runway only 25 miles to the west.
Overall, this is a very well-located wildlife-focused property in one of the most sought-after waterfowl areas in North America! Don't miss the opportunity to make Wildlife Mecca your own!
