Pumping Question ???????????

[MallardManBD]

We are like everyone else probably and do not have water. We have never had to pump, and have never really field hunted much. We are looking to spend roughly $1000 on fuel for our pumps. We have about 500 acres that is supposed to be very wet. I need to know if ya'll think $1000 will give us enough water to hunt or possibly hunt 4 spots. Kind of a broad question I know. Anyone that knows more than I do, feel free to clear me up on anything.

At todays prices thats about 900 gallons of fuel. According to HP and well size you should have more than enough to flood. I wouldn't think you are going to flood the whole 500 acres (ie) flood what you hunt.

i think that would be more than enough! i dont flood that much acres but wut i do flood and the amount of money i spend on fuel you should be fine! it is better to be ready for it than not be! be glad u have access to a well iam gratefull that i do!!!!!!!!!!!

boy!!! don't you know that when it comes to money for pumping
water for ducks that, the answer should always be that money is no object!!!!! the money is the last thing on your mind
just remember what your doing this for matter of fact you should flood every inch of your ground , then pull a plank and just leave the well running//// money should never enter your mind . just do what every red blooded woman in america would do , now let's see write a check or just charge it !!!!!

We have a 2000 gpm well with a 90 hp Duetz burns about 40 gallons every 24 hrs. took 9 full days to flood 30 acres to where it quit soaking up. We flood about 350 acres with a 2000 gpm. on electric and the bill runs about 3000 to 3500 each year. If your worried about money better find another hobby ducks are eexpensive?

My average $ for pumping a hole is going to be about $650

I hope my babygirls like the pools I got them for christmas, because I spent all their christmas and college fund on pumping.

I have a brand, 16 inch electric well with 60 HP motor. Pumping exactly 100 acres. Yesterday was day 9 of pumping and I am just about done.
May need 2 more days. I hope the electric bill that I get the end of this month does not knock my sox off.
