The Big Buck Playground | Waldron, Kansas 160 — Hunt Unit 16 - NW/4 sec.6-T35S-R8W
Welcome to the Big Buck Playground — 160 acres of proven hunting ground just 3 miles north of the Oklahoma line in southern Kansas' famed Unit 16. If you’re serious about chasing mature whitetails, this place needs to be on your radar.
This property sits in one of the best locations a deer hunter could ask for. To the west, it borders the legendary +/- 7,000-acre Chain Ranch — a well-managed haven that consistently holds big, mature bucks. Just a mile east lies Sandy Creek, a live-water corridor known locally for producing some of the region’s top-end whitetails. The combination of neighboring management, natural funnels, and food makes this a high deer-density zone with serious trophy potential.
Access is easy and strategic, with county roads along both the north and west boundaries. The northeast corner features a reliable solar-powered water well, and power is on-site, making it ready for a hunting camp or cabin build.
The layout is functional and versatile:
120 acres of productive tillable ground – currently it is lightly farmed but could easily be converted to crops or food plots and/or a potential to be enrolled in CRP for additional income.
40 acres of native pasture – thick grasses, mature trees, and prime bedding cover that holds deer tight and undisturbed.
Let the pictures speak for themselves — this place pulls and holds high-caliber deer. Whether you prefer a bow stand tucked into the timber or a long-range setup on the edge of the field, the options are there. This farm can be hunted effectively with all three methods: bow, muzzleloader, and rifle.
Bonus features:
Healthy population of quail — plenty of action for bird hunters and pointing dogs.
Potential for small wetland development using the water well — ideal for duck hunters wanting to diversify.
Nearby public hunting land offers expanded opportunity without added investment.
Whether you're a seasoned trophy hunter looking to harvest that Kansas giant or a buyer seeking a multi-use property with income and lifestyle potential, the Waldron 160 delivers.
These kinds of farms — with deer history, income potential, and strong neighbors — don’t come up often in this area. The deer are here now. And it can be yours in time for the fall.
