Anybody ever hunt this place? My brother in law got the draw for tomorrow and want's me to go. I'm just looking for some general info. Timber vs open water etc. Any help would be great.

You better look for any open water, and wear orange!

Hooded merganser shoot

It's a flooded greentree, you have assigned holes. Sometimes good mostly a woody shoot with a couple mallets but rare.

Plenty of woodies and lots of people blowing mallard calls for no reason. The designated hunting "holes" are also close together. You should still be able to get your limit of at least woodies.

it was a stuttgart calling contest to the woodies that were flying when i went recently, but you might just might see a mallet or two

man this sounds great! and i get to wake up at 3am, walk 5 miles, and hang with my bro in law. i can't wait! and a limit of woodies to boot WOW!

Cyberscouter!!!!
When you get there you will draw a ping pong ball with a number on it. That's the order in which you get to choose your hole. There will be numbers from previous hunts for the holes you can base your choice on.

nah, there's not a terrible walk on the place. The furthest hole is... uh...#23 (I think) and it is all on the levee. Have fond memories of #23 - killed my first duck there...

what you doin' tomorrow?

If you get there and they say the river is out and you'll have to walk from the check station, go home!! Ive done it and its no fun!! Other than that its a pretty good place. Have had some good hunts there in the past.

Very few birds killed there this year. Don't count on that limit of woodies. Several holes have very little water. Some walks are much worse than others.

Boy that brings back memories. Can't help you buddy- last time i hunted there was in college back in 1984. Dang i'm gettin old

agreed... but you can call ahead and ask ((662)323-5548 or 662.323.6349)... I live 6 hours away now (or I'd be there) and still call to check on conditions... good folks up there most do what they can to help instead of trying to screw you over. They keep the numbers posted in the duck shed so, depending on who you talk to, may or may not give you an update on kill numbers...
