WILDLIFE & HABITAT:

The number and varieties of wildlife would increase with some wildlife management practices such as introducing small grains (wheat, barley, oats, safflower, corn, millet, new alfalfa) and rows of shelterbelts. The natural habitat especially with all the riverfront is ideal for Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Pheasants, Geese and various other waterfowl.

COMMENTS:

This is a very private property with about 1.50 miles of Judith River. It is secluded with good natural habitat. There are no buildings that you have to pay for. It is very aesthetic and yet productive with an abundance of water. With all this water food plots and shelterbelts would thrive. All the natural ingredients are there plus a little work this could be a wildlife masterpiece. What a fun project this would be.
