I grew up hunting ducks with my Grandfather at Malmaison. We hunted Mcintyre Scatters primarily if my memory serves me. I think there was 16th section land on that lake years ago, but don't know if it still exists. In the mid-90's, it started to change as people bought up land and ended up closing off access to the 16th section land. My Grandfather got disillusioned by the whole situation and stopped hunting after hunting there for 30-40 years. My family is from Greenwood and my Grandparents are still living there. I'm in Jackson, but looking to get back on the mallards after about a 10 year hiatus. If anyone has any information on this land, I would appreciate. I know it is a WMA, but what about access to duck holes, etc.?

Thanks!

Nope its gone.

The real hunting is on Lake Guntersville in Alabama............everyone knows that man.......The scatters were recently sold at public auction to various members of the GLHC.....it was a real sad day to see that gem of a place go....

I think the place you are refering to was bought by Delbert Housman a couple of years ago.

Your grandpa ought to know or know someone who does.

I guess this cold snap has everyone a little frisky.

yeah it was sold to a private contractor. gone... good ole days are gone.. tell paw paw hello

Yeah I hated to hear ole Delbert got his hand on that peice of ground...I had some good memories there as well.....All you can do is ride by and look now though...

I'd hit it.

These kinds of Posts never end around here. It still amazes me everytime though...

This post isnt acceptable?? but posting pictures of a public land place and talking about how awesome it is AND inviting people to go hunt the place is ok? Gimme a break

It aint got no water in it

No water = no ducks...damn I hate it when that happens.
