The hunting rights for the remainder of the 2008 Hunting Season are booked and will be reserved by the current owner. Comments - The Crystal Angel Ranch has been owned and operated as a private hunting retreat for the past twelve (12) years. During this time, no sheep or goats have grazed the property and the vegetation has been devoted to wildlife use exclusively. As a result, the property has produced exceptional white-tail deer for the geographic area. Due to the configuration of the ranch, the contiguous ownership of the land and the absence of a public roadway crossing the property, the ranch lends itself to being game fenced if intensive management is desired. Additionally, areas of canyon bottoms are of sufficient size and possess moderately deep fertile soils affording development of food plots for wildlife. The developed groundwater resources could accommodate limited irrigation of these food plots. Maps are available upon request. Reduced Price - $395.00 per acre.
