DUCK HUNTING PRESERVE OPENS AGAIN OCTOBER 1

 

Hunts are held every Tuesday and Saturday morning from October 1 thru March 30.  We begin each season by releasing more than 6,000 ducks in May.  This ensures that the ducks are flying wild by October 1.  We plant and maintain a variety of different crops and grasses to hold the ducks throughout the year.  Most days will end early with limits taken by all (based on the skill of the shooters).  Because we are a private preserve, arrangements can be made to exceed the limit of 4 birds per hunter.  For an additional cost, we also offer skeet shooting practice sessions.
