The Wallahachie Ranch
Is the Wallahachie an Oklahoma ranch or a Kansas ranch?....Yes. With entrances in Gate, OK and Meade, KS the Wallahachie is just 3 hours from Oklahoma City and Wichita. 2,100.28 acres are located in Kansas and 2,704.22 acres are located in Oklahoma.
Ranch History
For decades now, the ranch has been operated as a trophy deer hunting property with MLB hall of famer Chipper Jones and host of Buckventures, Jeff Danker leading the way. With their managment practices being implemented over the years, the Wallahachie quickly became second to none throughout the midwest when it comes to producing mega-giant whitetails and mule deer.
Food and Water
An 80 acre irrigated pivot which is usually in Alfalfa, is the focal point of the deer activity and brings them in from miles and miles away. Additional dry land plots have also been established adding great variety to what the deer have available to eat. 4,000 lb. Crush feeders, 1,000 lb. ASF feeders, a 24,000 lb. bulk feeder and a 60,000 lb. corn storage bin help to provide the year round food sources that keep all of the wildlife on the ranch. 1.5 miles of Crooked Creek provides a fantastic year round water source and with 7 solar powered water troughs throughout the ranch, the deer will never go thirsty.
Deer History
The Wallahachie doesn't just produce big deer, it produces GIANT deer. On a late August evening, Jeff Danker personally filmed 99 deer in the alfalfa pivot with 65 of those deer being bucks. Two of those bucks were over 200". Many of the other bucks were well over the 170" mark. Jeff later killed one of those bucks that he had named "Ali" which taped out at 202 4/8" (see trophy pics). The average size of the many mature deer that have been harvested on the ranch is easily north of 170". A side note that is worth mentioning is that the "Kansas King" sheds were found just 2 miles north of the Wallahachie. These sheds measured a mind boggling 217" and would be the possible world record typical whitetail.
Terrain
The Wallahachie boasts a beautiful 180' of elevation change consisting of all types of terrain. There are open, grassy plains, deep red breaks, cultivated fields, and fertile, green creek bottoms. The native grasses on the ranch haven't had cattle on them in years and provide incredible cover for all of the wildlife.
Additional Hunting Opportunities
The Wallahachie is not only a world class deer hunting ranch, it also offers incredible, turkey, quail, and migratory dove and duck hunting. With some additional management for the quail on the property, there is no doubt that the Wallahachie could be an absolutely world class upland ranch as well. Walk the ranch for a few hours now and you will see multipe thriving coveys of bobwhite quail.
Improvements
Additional Lease Ground
There is currently an additional 2,195 acres of contiguous land that is leased to the Wallahachie for hunting (see map). This lease provides additional hunting ground and some highly sought after Cimarron River frontage. With the deeded acres and lease combined, the Wallahachie encompasses a total of 6,999.5 acres.
Why The Wallahachie?
Where else can you find a ranch of this size with this much diversity of habitat that is located in both Oklahoma and Kansas? The Wallahachie has a storied history of producing Boone & Crockett deer and will continue to do so for the new owner. The genetics are here. The habitat is here. The water is here. The food is here. The Boone and Crockett whitetail and mule deer are here. Take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity and give me a call today. This place needs to be seen in person to truly be appreciated.
