The diverse habitat supports numerous species of waterfowl within the wooded wetlands, lake border areas, and, areas surrounding the two water features that run through the property (Culvert waterway and Puterbaugh Creek). Beaver activity has also shaped the landscape into some very unique areas that open the woods up to wood duck nesting habitat, game fish spawn areas, and natural water sources for deer and turkey. Property is full of timbered transitional bedding areas and travel corridors to and from food sources with abundant deer sign to highlight these features. Timber is a good mix of mature and successional trees (Maple, Oak, Black Cherry, and Hickory) that gives mature bucks plenty of cover and supplemental food sources to keep deer on the property. Some trails have been started on the Eastern end of the property for hiking access or use of an ATV. The marshy grasslands also provide great cover for mature bucks, and migrating ducks and geese that are traveling around the area. Located in a deer reduction zone that permits harvest of two antlered deer, and offers extended hunting dates from mid September through the end of January each year.
