Wow, you are getting $2K+ a week off one pond?

Not judging at all... it sounds like you have the birds and the client to make it work.

A good group or several good season hunters would be less time consuming. Just my 2 cents.


This would be the likely scenario

Nuts isn't it? Word of mouth and my place stays booked up. I'm in education so I open it up the first couple weekends before Christmas break and it sits all week and when the break starts, it's just about every other day. I have a premium location. Of course, I offer my services. In case guys don't have decoys, a dog, waders, or know how to call, I'll step in. Sometimes I ask if they don't mind if I shoot, they've all said we don't care. Only 1 group has not wanted to try and do everything themselves. Easy morning for me.

is the only way it would work- if you had a bunch of individuals there you have issues with problems over hunting etc.

Not for a self guided day hunt or at least I hope not.

your guys hunt 3 to 5 guns 3x week? A 4 to 5 man, 72-90 ducks a week? “Little Pond” hmmmm. popcorn

You raising molasis, sweet potatoes or what in there?

7 acre rice pond that we harvest crawfish out of. Can't wait for the end of January/early February. You don't have to believe it, I'm not worried about your opinion. That $750 a week takes up too much of my "give a damn"...
