Duck Hunting Land For Sale - How to find the right property

DUCK HUNTING LAND FOR SALE – How to find the right property.

 

When you start looking to invest in duck hunting land for sale, what are some of the key property features you should focus on to create that prime waterfowl club?  Ducks are creatures of habit AND habitat!  American Land Company has put together the following tips & questions to ask when searching for your next waterfowl property.

 

1.  Water. This key ingredient is critical in most areas for successful duck hunting.  Ducks like water.  And you need to either have the ability to provide them with that water, or have some permanent water source on your land:  i.e. a river, stream, lake etc.  Most duck clubs get their water via pumping, either through a well or from a re-lift, or camelback pump.  If the land for sale that you're considering doesn't already have the means to get water, then you'll need to budget for additional capital expenditures such as drilling a well & installing a submersible pump; or purchasing a pto driven pump and either a tractor or power unit to run it.  Either scenario will most likely run well into the tens of thousands of dollars.

 

2.  Food. This is another obvious, yet critical ingredient for great duck hunting clubs.  Most waterfowl hot spots already have food, because they're either a working farm (or have well established food plots) or they're a wetland / marsh.  If this is a working farm, then who's going to farm it?  If the answer is NOT you, then you'll need to talk to several farmers and figure out a way to rent it so that the farmer can make some money, and you can have some food left for the ducks.  Make sure you get a signed lease if you're renting the farming out to someone! I can tell you from experience, ducks LOVE corn and rice.  If the property is a wetland or marsh, then you can get with your local NRCS agent to help give you guidance on how to properly manage your wetland.  They're experts at this and they're there to assist you.

 

3.  Rest. This is a feature that is often times overlooked, yet is very critical to good duck hunting.  All waterfowl need a time and place to rest.  Take a cue from the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission's and the Missouri Department of Conservation's waterfowl management practices, they both stop hunting at around noon on the majority of their respective public hunting areas.  Yet these public hunting lands continue to offer some of the best duck hunting in the United States year in and year out, despite the fact that they're also some of the hardest hunted.  Why?  Because they have rest areas, they stop hunting at mid day and they provide cover.  As hard as this is for a lot of land owners to actually implement, it's a must if you want to have consistently good duck club.

 

4.  Cover. Waterfowl like to "feel" safe, and cover allows them that "feeling".  Examples of good duck cover are:  standing corn or any uncut crop, uncut grass, cattails, willows, trees and brush, levees for wind breaks, etc.  Cover can be harsh and impenetrable, like thick woods or a cattail marsh, or benign, like a levee for a wind break.  But the bottom line here is, if you give the ducks some type of cover, they're much more likely to use your property.

 

5.  Pressure. Does the area get hunted heavily?  Either from other hunting properties or public hunting areas?  Regardless, this can be a catch 22 if the area receives a lot of hunting pressure.  On the one hand, if it does get hunted heavily, there's a reason:  there's a lot birds that use that area.  That means this area is "IN THE FLYWAY".  That's good!  But on the other hand, that also means that you're going to be facing pressured birds, which makes for some challenging hunts.  As for me, I would rather the area be full of hunting clubs, because I know the ducks will be there when fall arrives.

 

6.  Size. This one is really up to you to decide, but obviously, the larger your property is, the harder, and more costly it will be to maintain.  Think about who will be doing most of the leg work and how much help you can count on.  I can assure you, properly maintaining and managing any hunting property, but especially a waterfowl hunting club, is A LOT OF BACK BREAKING WORK!  So don't bite off more than you can handle.

 

7.  Capital Improvements. Are there levees already constructed?  Are they in good shape?  What about pipes and gates?  Does the property come with equipment like tractors, pumps, boats, atv's?  How about blinds?  These must all be considered when purchasing a potential duck hunting property.  Remember, this is a labor intensive investment.

 

9.  Utilities & Lodging. Does the property have electricity?  What about water, either from a rural water supply or well?  If it's from a well you might consider getting it tested for water quality?  Does the property have a place for lodging or to put a camper?  How far are the nearest hotels?  Again, these are important considerations.  The last thing you're going to want to do is drive an hour to a motel after working all day in the heat and water with the snakes and mosquitoes.  If lodging isn't present on the property, maybe there's an old farm house nearby that you could rent?  Or maybe there's a farmer close by with water and electric that will let you hook up a camper?

 

One thing to be careful of is the "build it and they will come" theory.  I'm not saying it's not possible with ducks, because it is—I've done it.  But, if you're going to go that route then make sure the property in question is in a flyway and has some sort of access to water.  Those 2 are a must!

 

Another possibility is to rent before you buy.  See if you can lease the land in question for a season with the option of purchasing?  If even you have to pay a premium price for the lease, that's a lot cheaper than finding out you've invested in a ‘ duck hunting club ‘ that the ducks won't come to!  And don't be afraid to ask around - local diners, farmer's co-op's, tractor dealerships, sporting goods stores – all of these places can be a wealth of local knowledge.

 

If you've gone through you're check list and everything pans out okay, then it's time to pull the trigger (pun intended).  Developing and maintaining your own duck hunting property is a very satisfying endeavor.  It's also a lot of work, and it takes a lot of money.  But then, as my Dad is so fond of saying……"we're making memories"!

His parents and brother still reside in Cherokee Village and are also partners in American Land Company.

North American Hunting Club?

I'm thinking about joining, but do they do what they are advertised to do? Will they send the free gifts and let me try out products and then keep them?

I have joined and left the club, they sent me one thing to test, a pack of handwarmers in the middle of the summer, why the f*** would I use handwarmers in the summer?
anyways, I did the test and scored them as ok and sent the test form back to them, I never got anything again? I mailed them and never got a reply, then they send me a request to join with a life membership for $800!!! WTF!
I don't have that kind of money, I replied no and after that every couple days, a request for life membership for $800, I kept telling them no and they bugged me enough that I finally left the club.
if you don't mind getting huge envelopes of junk mail or want to pay the $800, all the luck to ya, if not, don't.
oh ya, nothings free from them, I calculated the gifts compared to the dues, they actually make money from you.
