Aykern Flat is 320 contiguous acres m/l of hardwood timber in Southern White County, just a mile north of Bayou Des Arc, 4.5 miles southwest of Raft Creek and Fowlers Point that border the White River. It's a tough find to locate a flat tract of hardwood timber in duck country that hasn't already been fully developed for waterfowl.
The highlight for duck hunters will be the large beaver kill located in the east central portion of the property that has gradually expanded over the years to offer enough open water and food for ducks to begin using it. So far this year wood ducks, widgeons, teal, gadwall and mallards have all been present on the property. There are four natural units of water that terrace down from north to south offering the opportunity to manage water both coming in to the main unit and leaving the property when it is time. Controlling water = managing the vegetation and food source = variety and volume of food = Happy Ducks. There are also several natural mounds in and around the units that would make great blind or pit locations. There is plenty of room for improvement, but the bones are there and the birds like it.
Several miles of strategically placed trails have been added to the property in order to leave the core of the property undisturbed. Along with that, 3 food plots totaling 7.5 acres have been added to hold the Whitetail inside the property. Muddy blinds have been placed on 2 of the three so you can sit and watch the show in comfort. The area has a reputation for trophy whitetail and great population numbers.
Gates have been installed at 4 access points and parking areas with smooth packed shale on both north corners. With electricity on both the east and west sides and county water running down the east boundary there is opportunity to build a lodge and/or just make a camp with all the amenities.
This place has incredible potential for both waterfowl and deer hunters. Hunt as is or improve based on your wants and needs. It's a captivating tract to tour and will make avid outdoorsmen feel right at home.
