Potential for the Future
Southeastern Oklahoma is fast becoming a destination for weekend ranch and recreational activities as the Dallas metropolitan area expands northward. Texas properties similar to Buck Creek might cost twice or three times as much, and exceptional properties will only increase in value.

Topography
The property’s centerpiece is the bottom land along Buck Creek – with dense, varied vegetation, intermixed with woods of White Oak and other tall, broad leaf trees. The area has a great population of whitetails and bucks use the bottoms extensively for travel during the rut. A good system of roads allows for access throughout the bottoms and adjoining pastures. Just to the east rises Bald Mountain, over 600’ above the surrounding land.

Guest House: 5BR/1BA (Sleeps 10) The Guest House is newly-refurbished with five bedrooms, one full bath and a living area with microwave, refrigerator, and TV. This is the perfect place to unwind and hit the hay after a long day of hiking, hunting or fishing.
Second Living Quarters: 3BR/1BA The second living quarters has three bedrooms and one bath. This was the original house for the ranch. It has a new roof and can be used by ranch hands and workers. It has a full kitchen, but needs some work.
Future Development There are many prime building sites near the entrance to the ranch with outstanding views of Bald Mountain.
Natural Water
Buck Creek Bottoms includes over two miles of Buck Creek, which carves and winds its way through the bottom land. During the building of the Indian Nation turnpike, several large areas away from the main channel were dug out and were dammed up. One of the lakes covers approximately 18 acres of surface water and is a tremendous fishery for bass. It is used year round by ducks and geese. Another lake covers over 5 acres. All dams were recently maintained. Additionally, there are four other tanks that are fed by springs. There is ample water throughout the ranch for stock and wildlife. Since the ranch lies in an area where over 48 inches of rain fall annually, water is usually running through the ranch.
Spring Water – Water for the ranch is supplied from one of several
natural springs high up on the side of Bald Mountain. A 4x4 trail leads to the spring for good access. A “spring box” collects the water and a steady stream of water flows through a pipe to an 11,000 gallon tank. The water is then fed through a pipe to the houses. There has always been ample water for everyone. A shared access and responsibility for the upkeep of the spring will be deeded to the property.

Water Potential –
Buck Creek has not been developed, but several areas could be dammed with pass-through dams which would create nice pools and hold a population of fish. There are numerous places to add tanks along the base of the mountain.

Mineral Rights
Typical of most Oklahoma ranches, most of the mineral rights were sold off. Approximately 4 acres of mineral rights will be conveyed.
Income Potential
Buck Creek Bottoms has various income producing capabilities year-round. There has been substantial income generated from the hay cuttings, hunting, jeeping and timber. For cattle, there are two areas of pasture land and quality bottom lands. There is plenty of pasture and water to support a decent herd of cattle, mama/calf pairs, etc. There are many areas of good potential for alfalfa and other crops.

Future Development Because of easy access to the towns of McAlester and Atoka, the Buck Bottoms area could eventually be developed for residential use.

Wildlife & Timber
The diverse ecosystems located in Southeastern Oklahoma hold a wide variety of animals. Otters, beaver and Black bear have expanded their territories into the Buck Creek Bottoms area. Bald eagles and many other migrating birds make the area attractive for birders. Buck Creek Bottoms hosts plenty of wildlife. The timber and surplus water support a varied population of whitetail deer, black bear, wild hogs, wild turkey, water fowl, bobcat, and dove.

Hunting & Fishing
Southeastern Oklahoma is becoming recognized for its outstanding hunting and fishing.
Deer At Buck Creek Bottoms, the whitetail deer herd is in very good shape from 16 years of supplemental feeding and several years of superior acorn crops. Neighboring Buck Creek Ranch has participated in the Oklahoma Deer Management Program (DMAP) and conducts deer counts during the summer to set appropriate harvest levels. In a typical year, the level is set at 25-30 does. Bucks are selectively harvested with preference towards bucks in the 4.5 years or older age group. The genetics of the deer herd varies widely, but Eastern Oklahoma bucks are noted for tall antlers with kickers off their G-2s. Super dominate bucks can be very large, and are also hard to find. In 2015, a 185 class non-typical t was taken 100 yards from the south fence line. Many hunters go home with a trophy of a lifetime.

The Oklahoma deer seasons last for three and a half months in total, and include archery, muzzleloading, rifle and more archery. This allows ample time to be very selective in harvesting. Recently, the use of crossbows has become legal, and can be used for the entire deer season. Using a scope, cross bows are highly accurate and nearly silent. The crossbows have no kick, and are remarkably easy to use, and because of their range, in many ways, are better than guns. Keeping the ranch quiet and providing food plots to hold deer results in phenomenal deer hunting throughout the season. Of particular interest is the Whitetail pre-rut in October. The bucks are still in bachelor herds and begin to fight. There have been up to three groups of deer sparring in a single open field. As time progresses, the full rut brings on the knock-down, drag-out fights for dominance, which are incredible to witness. This is one reason why Pittsburg County is at the top for archery for the state of Oklahoma.

Turkey The turkey hunting at Buck Creek Bottoms is truly second to none. There are huge flocks of Eastern turkeys, at times numbering 80 or more. Gobblers can be heard along the base of the mountain and in the creek bottoms and respond well to calling. The size of Buck Creek Ranch lends itself well to “run and gun” calling, covering a lot of ground and finding the gobblers. Big gobblers can be seen strutting in the many open pasture areas.
Wild Boar Hunting for wild boar is very good, with good numbers of hogs throughout the area. Massive, old boars with 3” or longer tusks migrate in and out of the area for true trophy hunting. Buck Creek Ranch is surrounded by endless mountainous areas and the animals that migrate into the ranch may have never been hunted, or even seen before.
Waterfowl and Small Game Buck Creek Bottoms has a wide variety of waterfowl and small game. Dove migrate through and can be held with a milo or sunflower crop. The numerous ponds make for great “waterhole shooting” in the evenings. Canada Geese stay year-round, and the ranch is in the central fly-way with good migrations in October. Duck hunting, especially for Wood Duck and Mallards, is concentrated in the two miles along Buck Creek and near the 18-acre lake in the southwestern corner of the ranch.
Fishing The various ponds and lakes on the ranch hold very good populations of largemouth bass, and are easily caught because of a lack of pressure. Nearby Lake Sardis is a tremendous fishery, with Walleye, Crappie, Catfish, Black and White Bass. The lake receives little pressure, and is home to 5 out of the top 10 bass in Oklahoma.
