A Rare Opportunity in Starkville – Private Hunting Lease Available This 37-acre hunting property, located just 20 minutes from downtown Starkville, sits tucked away behind the historic Sand Creek Chapel Missionary Baptist Church. This land has long been hunted under a "handshake rule", but with HLRBO now handling the lease, the opportunity to secure this property is officially open. The land features two lakes that naturally feed into running springs, creating year-round water sources that attract and sustain abundant wildlife. Deer sign is everywhere, from well-worn game trails to fresh and old droppings, as well as clear tracks throughout the property and bedding all around the lake banks. This property is a proven hunting ground, offering untouched, prime habitat for whitetail deer and other game . Accessibility is a key highlight, as the terrain allows for easy travel throughout the landscape, with natural trails already established from years of consistent wildlife movement. Property Highlights: Two Lakes & Natural Springs – Reliable water sources ensure wildlife stays on the property year-round. Established Deer Movement – Tracks, droppings, bedding areas, and trails prove this land has long been a deer hotspot. Hunting History – Previously hunted on a "handshake agreement", this is the first time it’s being offered as a formal lease. Prime Accessibility – The land is easy to navigate, with natural game trails and open terrain for setting up stands. Secluded Yet Convenient – Only 20 minutes from downtown Starkville, but feels like a hidden retreat for serious hunters.
