How much???

[BigGun]

How much you reckon Beartail Outfitters is gonna go for?

[Dutch Dog]

They will never get what they think it's worth!

"MOST RECOGNIZED DUCK CLUB IN THE SOUTH" IS WHAT IT SAID.

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT; SURE LOOKS NICE THOUGH..

THAT 50' BLIND LOOKS REAL NATURAL, HAHA..

I'M SURE IT'S A GREAT SPOT.

Only 200 acres? That is not much land for a primo duck club.

[tazdog]

i think i read some where they wanted 1.2 mil

[H20K9]

gimme a break guys, I'm the one selling it for him!

It's actually a really nice place, 50 ft blind with a kitchen in it, couple of other pits and blinds and a 40 acre timber hole, there's also a 6000 sq ft Lodge there too. They average between 3000 & 5000 ducks a year off that 200 acres. You guys ought to come up there and see me, I'll be showing it Feb 1 through Feb 8 (auction day).

[mallardchaser]

How about a hunt for the 100 of us who are "interested" in the place?

[H20K9]

Believe me......I'm workin' on it Mallardchaser!! You'll be the first to get the invite too buddy! It's actually not even being hunted this season, the owner had a heart attack back in the spring, so he shut it down, he had around 600 hunts scheduled, it's basically a refuge right now. I was out there the day before the season started, he hasn't even pumped yet, and there was close to 10k birds on it. My project manager is there right now and he said the mallards look like black birds there are so many of them.

[Dutch Dog]

now I know where all the d*mn ducks are going...how bout setting up one of them air cannons over there just to keep em honest

[H20K9]

hehe The owner said he put one out there year before last because he had around 50k ducks in there 4 weeks before the season started. He said it worked for about 3-4 days and then they started feeding right by it. I've heard the same thing about the geese too.

[mallardchaser]

I see your selling the lodge separate if the buyer wants it separate. What kinda price range on the land and sheds and such? I have a friend looking to buy a piece of property for ducks.

[tupe]

So if your numbers are rught they killed over 55 ducks per day, every day of the season. Now that is kind of tough to buy? That kind of pressure on 200 acres would be hard, if not impossible to sustain without, well shall we say some less than legal methods.

Not trying to give you a hard time but those numbers just don't seem real.

Maybe it is just me but that kind of score keeping leaves a bad taste. This whole whack and stack, tally board mentality that is so evident in duck hunting to day is not good.

Sorry, just a bit of a trip up onto my soap box.

Nice looking place, I hope some conservation minded waterfowler(s) get a hold of it and give it a bit of a rest.

M.B.

[nomsduckhunter]

Unless they have a guard posted, believe me someone will be huntin
it. Too many ways to get in and hunt.

[H20K9]

Well, the reason there was a "tally board" was it that it was a commercial guiding operation, they averaged 20-25 hunters per day. The blind would hold up to 12 hunters, and the pits were 40 ft pits, plus the 40 acre timber hole. Birds were constantly flying up and down the Coldwater River all day, which forms the Northern boundary of the property, so they got quite a few new birds every day. I hope that explains a bit more about the numbers since it was run as a commercial guiding operation. I agree with the 'resting' part.

[catfishbill]

its a really nice place.i live south of 306 only couple of miles from them.the guy who poured my slab for my house did those huge pits.first class place,i work at night and get home just before daylight and i could hear them shooting down there as i was going to bed in the mornings.all the ducks would go over there instead of comming in at the drop zone area.he had a honey hole over there.
