Intensely Managed Free-Range Hunting Tract in Alabama’s Black Belt
The Black Belt Outfitters Farm in Marion Junction, Alabama is one of the finest free-range hunting tracts in the heart of Alabama’s fertile Black Belt. This 832 acres +/- farm has been intensively managed for whitetails and other wildlife for 27 years by the Parker family. Many people around the country know the Parker family’s reputation for the great hunting opportunities they provide and their deer breeding operation at Black Belt Outfitters and Whitetails. This property has been used for their personal hunting and as additional acreage for their paying customers for almost three decades.
Because this tract is located some distance from their main operation, it made sense for them to make this property available for purchase. The owners told me that there have only been approximately 5 deer harvested off this property in the past 3 years, and one of the last bucks taken scored 152. This is a tract where you can see big numbers of deer, and also regularly hunt trophy deer. The owners said that several hunting shows have been filmed on the property through the years, particularly for turkey hunting. In addition to creating excellent habitat, the owners have also been doing supplemental feeding for years.
The habitat is perfect for growing and sustaining a thriving population of healthy deer. There are large blocks of mature hardwoods, loblolly pine plantation, areas of longleaf pines, young planted hardwoods, natural hackberry stands and creek drains, and large fields and food plots. This tract has the eye-appeal you look for in a hunting property. There is agricultural land all around this area, with row crop farming on lands adjoining the north and south of this property. The internal road system is fantastic, with big wide main roads that lead throughout the tract.
There are two large creeks, Dry Creek and Chaney Creek, that flow through the tract. The owners have constructed nice crossings and a couple of steel bridges that allow access across the creeks even in wet weather. Numerous food plots and stand sites throughout the tract offer unique views and varied hunting scenarios. You can choose exciting hunting scenarios that offer those long rifle shots in big fields or bow set ups in open hardwood bottoms. You will be hard-pressed to find better deer habitat on this hunting land for sale.
Other than shooting houses for hunting, no structures exist on the property. You can design and construct a lodge or accommodations to your own specifications. Electricity is available along the paved road frontage on Dallas County Road 29. Approximately 47 acres lie east of CR 29, and the balance of the tract lies to the west side. There are many big landowners in this area.
Approximately 81.5 acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) that generates some income. The current CRP contract expires in 2020. A map showing the USDA breakdown of the acreage is in the attachments on the listing page, and more information about the CRP contract is available upon request.
