PM's don't work. I think one or two ducks go thru the area.

I never saw many ducks there, but that could change if we ever have a normal year.
Deltaduk (not Deltaduck) had a lease about a mile south of there one year. I don't think they killed a bird.
When pm's start working, pm me about the road hunting in that area.

Sounds interesting. Is that type of hunting available in other counties as well?
I always wanted to shoot ducks from the comfort of my vehicle. 
Can you get a limit from off of the blacktop, or do you have to go to the trouble of getting onto the gravel road in order to be successful at this "road hunting"?

Road surface type makes no difference. It really depends on the river level.

I will help you on this one. If you are buying it for duck hunting save your money! Honestly. You would have to spend alot to get them there. Check with Rebelduck. I bet he could tell you alot more or even Crowder Critter.

Not worth the money. I’d be surprised if you get many ducks on that place. And though the Coldwater will back up through Burrell Bayou and Squirrel Lake onto the place, I don’t think there is a way to hold water on it (though I’ve never actually been on the tract).
There are a couple tracts of land to the north (towards Ballentine Road) that are decent as well as a few that are a couple of miles to the south, otherwise you have to go Northwest / West / Southwest of Darling to get back to the ducks.
The place to the east of that property is in WRP and has a few water impoundments on it but I don’t know much about its duck history.

I cant tell you anything on this particular property, but I know that this year may be the year for ducks if the weather stays like it is now. There are a lot of tracts planted in CRP in this area, it should be some good deer hunting to come in future years.
