Hard to come by 600m/l acre ranch. Mostly pasture with scattered timber. With the Bermuda grass on this place, you can run up to 200 mamas and way more feeder calves. has awesome hay pastures and just as good grazing pastures. This family ranch has been in operation for decades. It currently has around 75 head on it now and has produced several hundred round bales of high-quality hay. This place has 8 ponds that I have counted and 2 of them have been stocked so bring your poles. The property is gently rolling for access to virtually every foot of it. there are scattered tracts of timber around the place. Mostly hardwood timber. You can run those cattle and have awesome hunting. Lots of big bucks, Turkey, and a few hogs on this one. There are many places to build on here with utilities on the full length of two sides. This is really the best of both worlds as far as agriculture and outdoors all wrapped into one property. It is far enough out of town to have that seclusion yet close enough to town to make that quick trip if you need something. Roughly 125 miles from the DFW area. Only a few miles from the Red River in the Garvin community of McCurtain Co. Hochatown is only 30 minutes away from this property. TOO many things to talk about on this one so if this is of interest give me a call to talk in depth or better yet just let us take you on a personalized tour of what it has to offer.

STRIPED SKUNK

Description
A bed of sweet-smelling roses? The most expensive perfume on the market? Mountain air? Hardly. The smell filling your nose is the musk spray of the striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis). Ranging all over Oklahoma, this animal is respected by many because of the strong musk smell it releases when provoked.
This not-so-sweet-smelling animal is black all over except for two white stripes running from the rump and converging on the head to form a white cap. Their scent glands are located on each side of the a**s, and powerful muscles surrounding the glands can spray the scent up to twelve feet. A common myth is that skunks cannot spray when they are held up by their tail, but this is not true. Because the spray can cause nausea and temporary blindness of the target, skunks are rarely attacked by other mammals. Skunks still face predators, however, including the coyote, bobcat, and domestic dog, but perhaps the most danger to the skunk comes from the air. The great horned owl has a poor sense of smell, and its eyes are protected by a special eyelid, so the skunk's strong musk does little to prevent an attack from this predator. The striped skunk is the most common member of the weasel family. All members of the weasel family have scent glands, but none are as powerful as the skunk's.
There are actually 13 subspecies of the striped skunk, the only differences being geographical location and size. The skunk is omnivorous, and its diet can include anything from nuts and berries to mice and chipmunks.
Size
On average they range from 20 to 28 inches long, including the seven-to-10-inch tail. This small mammal only reaches about eight pounds. Except for the males averaging six percent bigger than females, both sexes are alike.
Habitat
It ranges anywhere from the woods and swamps to the suburbs, and it will den under buildings and in burrows so long as they are dry. Although skunks do not hibernate, they will often sleep through most of the winter.
Life History
The male will stay in the same den as the females with which he will later mate. Breeding begins in late win­ter or early spring, and males will mate with multiple females. About 61 to 69 days after mat­ing, the female will give birth, having anywhere from four to ten young, all blind and help­less. Within 20 minutes of their birth, however, they are able to start nursing. They will not be able to hear anything for about another 23 days, and eyesight will not come until a month after birth. At three months old, the young skunks will leave the family, although they won't be sexually mature until 11 months old. The average lifespan for a skunk in the wild is six years.
Wildlife Watching Tips
The best chance to view these creatures is at night when they are foraging for food. Potent as their spray is, cautious­ness should be used when observing them.

WOOD DUCK

Description
The wood duck (Aix sponsa} is among the most colorful ducks found in Oklahoma. The wood duck is one of the most recognizable waterfowl species in North America. Males have a brightly colored are with the top and crest being an iridescent green. There are white stripes along the cheeks and neck separating the black sides of the head from the shiny green on the top. They have red bills with a yellow patch at the base, along with bright red eyes. Their chest and rump a rich chestnut color. Females are a more drab grayish brown color with a white teardrop female wood duck is unable to shape around their eye. Their heads have a crest similar to the males, but not as drastic. The speculum portion of the wing is dark blue with white tips.
Wood ducks have sharp claws. These allow the ducks to perch and nest in trees, abilities not commonly found in North American ducks. Wood ducks are dabblers, meaning they primarily tip upside down in the water to feed rather than diving under to gather food. Their primary food source is plant material, which makes up 80 percent of their diet. They also eat insects, snails, and even small fish from time to time.
By the late 1800s, market hunting,of 1918 and habitat loss sent wood duck populations into extreme decline. Many biologists believed the species was heading toward extinction; however, wood duck populations began to recover in the 1920s due to the implementation of The Migratory Bird TreaAt about of1918 and more hunting regulations. The creation of nest boxes in the 1930s also gave the population a boost. About the same time, beaver populations increased, and more beaver dams led to an increase in wetlands, providing more habitat for wood ducks. Today, wood duck numbers are good, and the population is stable or increasing.
Size
Wood ducks are usually about 22 inches long with wingspans of 26 to 29 inches.
Habitat
Wood ducks are cavity nesters, using holes in trees. While cavity nesters are generally safer from predators, their nest sites are more limited. This leads to a problem known as "dump nesting." Dump nesting or nest parasitism is when a female wood duck is unable to locate a nest site of her own, so she lays her eggs on the nest of another female wood duck.
To help reduce the chances of nest parasitism, conservationists employ wood duck boxes as nesting sites. The boxes are about 24 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches deep with a 4-inch hole cut in the center. A layer of wood shavings in the bottom of the box provides nesting material for the ducks. The females use the shavings to cover their eggs during the laying process or while taking breaks from incubation to go feed. Nest boxes are easy to build and maintain, and are a great way to get involved in conservation.
Life History
In the wild, the average lifespan of a wood duck is four years, but in some cases, they can live more than 20 years. The oldest wood duck recorded was 22 years and 6 months. It was banded in Oregon and found in California.

SURVIVE LIGHTNING STRIKE

Let’s hope every lightning storm you’re inside with a blanket and cup of hot chocolate. But if you’re not, take these tips into consideration, as they will up your chances of survival if you’re ever caught outside during a lightning storm:
• Always avoid open fields, elevated mountaintops, and watery areas—these are lightning magnets.
• Seek refuge between rocks or in caves, creating a low profile.
• Never, under any circumstances, lie flat on the ground; this increases the risk of a lightning strike. Instead, crouch down on the balls of your feet to minimize contact with the earth.
• Distance is your ally, so maintain at least 15 feet from others to prevent a lightning jump.
• Lastly, steer clear of tall objects like trees and poles. With these precautions, you can weather the storm wisely.
