A New Well, drilled on the East Side of the South Ranch in Section 15 in 2016, has a Solar System installed to feed the Water Tank. This well is perfect for an additional source of water for Livestock and Wildlife in Section 15 to Supplement a Steady Spring and Multiple Seasonal Springs / Tributaries to West Razor Creek in the same pasture.

Historically, the (2) Reservoirs have provided Reliable Watering and hold water throughout the year but could change with changes in precipitation or if the Springs that feed them change. The Larger Reservoir can usually hold a good amount of water throughout the year and was at one time stocked with fish and the Sellers enjoyed rowing around in the small Rowboat Fishing and Swimming in the Summers and Ice Skating in the Winters. The Smaller Reservoir above the Large Reservoir is fed by another Spring and also typically holds water for extended periods of time, though depending on moisture levels, can provide extended watering. Both of these Reservoirs have been Repaired and should greatly increase the availability for water, which should also increase the number of Elk, Deer, Antelope, Upland Game and Waterfowl to the Property.

WILDLIFE / HUNTING / RECREATION: Jorgensons Land & Livestock offers some of the best habitat and terrain which provides exceptional viewing/hunting of Trophy Quality Elk, Mule Deer and Pronghorn Antelope. Being perfectly positioned on the Outskirts of the Bull Mountains in the Transition area between Timberland and Cropland, this Land already offers incredible opportunity to attract Trophy Animals, but with some strategic planting of Select Crops and additional water development, opportunity would exponentially increase. The Bull Mountains are one of Montanas Most Coveted areas for Giant Trophy Elk that can reach 360- 400+ and can Produce Mule Deer in the 180-200 Range. The Current Years crop of Mature Bulls has been nothing short of INCREDI-BULL. The Ranch and its very near surroundings have yielded Trail Cam Photos, Video and Live Spotting of (4) to (6) Bulls that would likely fall into the 360-380+/- Class with multiple bulls featuring Non-Typical genetics. This local Genetic Pool and Ecosystem has created opportunity that is near Impossible to Believe. All portions of the Ranch lie within the Elk/Deer/Lion District 590 and Antelope District 576, known to hold trophy caliber animals for all species Especially Elk and Mule Deer. Sharp-tailed Grouse, Ringneck Pheasants, Hungarian Partridge and Doves make use of the exceptional Upland Gamebird Habitat, while Ducks and Canadian Geese also make a few visits to the Reservoirs and to the neighboring Tew Waterfowl Production Area, giving additional opportunities for the Outdoorsman on wet years.

A paved road for larger vehicles provides direct access to the reservoir at Fort Peck Marina, located near the West side of the dam.

SUMMARY / COMMENTS:

A Rare Opportunity to buy a nice sized Central Montana Recreational Hunting Ranch with Premium Elk & Deer Genetics, that is set up for a combination of Farming, Haying and Running Livestock. It could run a solid number of Livestock with a few additions to the water system with plenty of cross-fenced pastures for ease of Grazing Management. The combination of the Timbered Draws, Native Montana Broken Prairie filled with Brush Creeks, Springs, Water Development and seemingly endless Meadows of Improved Grasses, make the Jorgensons Land & Livestock a great place to build a Home Base for a Medium Sized Herd, additional Summer Pasture for an Established Operation or Yearling Operation. A Farmer could farm these flat Productive areas for Crops or utilize as a Productive Hay Base.

The Recreational Opportunity this Farm/Ranch holds is Incredible. It provides near unlimited opportunity for all types of Outdoor Recreation for the entire family. With minimal adjustments for targeted food sources and slight other adjustments, this already incredible Ranch that holds a solid number of Game, could be turned into a near perfect Wildlife Sanctuary that a Hunter could base out of and hunt Trophy Class Game on this Large, Wild area of Montana.

Cell phone service is available on most portions of the ranch, especially on the higher elevations, providing reliable convenient communication and additional safety.
