HOMEWATERFOWL HUNTING

The key to our success is due to our ability to rotate our hunting sites to keep from over-pressuring the birds. By having exclusive hunting rights to multiple quality properties and limiting membership to a maximun of 6 persons per each of our 3 hunting days (Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays), we have maintain our management goal seasonal average of 5 or more birds per man day of hunting since conception in 2003.
