About Us

For generations, this area has been well known to waterfowl hunters.  Waterfowl, guided by geographical landmarks have come to this area to feed in these vast bottoms surrounded by the Missouri River.  The property is situated in the lowest part of the bottoms. In 2002, the farm was enhanced with water control structures and a levee system. Later in 2006, the farm underwent extensive modifications for a single purpose; to produce the best duck and goose hunting anywhere.  Starting in 2008, additional land was purchased and new wells drilled. A system of pipes connected with three deep electric submersible wells allow for controlled flooding of nearly 400 acres of the farm.  A large area of the main marsh is kept open with 54-degree water, insuring open water no matter how extreme the temperature is outside.    

Over the years, the owners have made significant enhancements with additional levees, water control structures, water distribution lines, timber hole development and the propagation of willow tree areas to provide a diverse amount of habitat to attract and hold migrating waterfowl.  This habitat provides nesting grounds for important shorebird species and other migrating birds.  Perhaps most importantly, the club is managed for the benefit of these migrators well after the seasons close to provide important habitat and food sources for these migrators returning to their northern breeding grounds.  This important concept is often lost by fellow clubs who drain their properties after the season, thus providing little net benefit to waterfowl during their spring migrations back north.

Unique Property:

Large concentrations of roosting birds on the property are one of the reasons our hunting is so consistent versus other waterfowl hunting areas. Massive amounts of migrating waterfowl concentrate in our area providing some of the best waterfowl hunting in the Midwest as we sit on the confluence of both the Mississippi and Central Flyways.   Our duck and goose hunting over decoys in open water is simply fantastic. With over 12 hunting pits available to our hunters on the property allowing us to go where the ducks want to be in any wind direction or conditions. The hunting area is in the lowest part of the river bottom with depths between 12 and 18 inches in the flooded areas.  Millet, corn, buckwheat and sorghum are planted liberally and natural foods such as smart weed, sago, and wild celery proliferate our farm ensuring adequate food for an abundant roosting bird population.  Electric wells have been installed to maintain ideal water levels and open water during the coldest part of the late season. Blinds are heated for maximum comfort and our guides’ supplies include thousands of the finest decoys available.  We provide transportation to and from the lodge to the blinds for your safety and comfort. There are no death marches getting to our blinds. Our guides are some of the best in the sport. Once you experience the Mudhole, you will understand its uniqueness and why many of the top waterfowl hunters in the country rate the Mudhole as one of the top waterfowl destinations in the world.
