I don't think they do the group hunts anymore. It used to be $30k for up to 12 people all expenses paid.

Also, not all blinds are the same (good) even on the same farm. 1-2 blinds will always be better for the most part than the others on the same farm.

$6k is not unreasonable or hard to find but if anybody is offering for less than $5k it probably ain't worth it.

How much does this land sell for an acre?? Seems you would be better off buying land to duck hunt as opposed to paying that amount for a lease.

Nobody's selling

They better bring a greyhound bus full of strippers and a bud light truck for that price

Even if it sold for 1k an acre, you'd be deep in to get enough land to hunt. Then you'd have to basically become a farmer to have what it takes to get birds (plant rice, rotate, irrigate, sale crop, pay to have it all done, and so on). And, at the end of the day, you may have no birds and a huge investment/business interest to manage.

May as well lease unless you plan to become a farmer.

Marsh would be easier, but still has it's management costs associated and risks of no birds. I kick myself for not buying 20+ acres of marsh by Klondike a few years back - I was one of the first to hear about it by chance by striking a random conversation with the owner. I scouted it and saw ducks frequenting it too, hunted a lease not far from the land... Just wasn't in a position to buy it, could have, but didn't due to tunnel vision. Hindsight

Duck hunting is not deer hunting (petting zoo) where animals can be tied to trees / fenced in until they are shot or brought in and feed all day...:work:
Most peeps farm their land or have a farmer plus you need access to water...canal to pump from.....there is more involved than you think.

Yall got it right with marsh blinds being a lot of work... I've hunted pit blinds in a field before and its pretty convenient but I enjoy getting out in the marsh and scouting for a good area, building a blind etc...just doesn't compare to hunting a blind that u don't even need boots to get to.

If you own land you can always lease the farming rights to a farmer.

Maybe more to it than I know , but this is what info I know in regards to duck hunting. I don't do the first thing for ducks on my land and they are in every slew, and flooded timber section I have . It's not farm land and the Mississippi river feeds it which I am sure is the difference.point being; there are places you can buy where all this stuff isn't needed.

For a 1,000 acre farm you better have a few Million

southLA 10-23-2013 12:07 AM

2-5000 per acre on land that isn't hot hunting ground is what i'd guess

SULPHITE 10-23-2013 08:32 AM

everyone just give up...its not worth it....

grizzon30s 10-23-2013 09:29 AM

I hope to one day own some land that I can manage for ducks and other wildlife. Right now I'm in a fairly small marsh lease. And everyone is right, it takes work. It's Miami corp land so it's not extremely expensive but we always figure extra costs for poisoning and what not. I wish we were able to control water levels on it! Of course to me, that's part of the fun, being out working on stuff. I've had ag field leases and yes they are easy but none were nearly as consistent as what I have now. But I do have friends with rice fields that are out of control good most every day of every season. Good luck finding something like that though!

I was asked to report that the blind has been reduced to $3,500.
