The guys we were with have been going up there for 25 years. They have a bunch of connections. Takes a lot of miles and a lot of scouting, but when you are laying under 1000 or more circling mallards, its is worth it. They grade the duck funnels like tornados up there!

Where do y'all go? I've thought about a trip up there but have no connections. Been to SD,ND and Minnesota. Guides or friends you know?

In Montegut hunt club so I'm a good but south of you. No birds though....

North of Lawton.

I don't have any connections either, I was a guest.

Permission is tough to come by, but it is accessible. If you go you can look for any fields that left their peanut stubble rowed up...they leave it there for hunters to hide in. But in most cases it is promised or leased to another. Basically you drive around, you see a funnel cloud of ducks, find farmer and offer him a day rate to hunt. Need full body dekes, about 100 or so at least, mojos help, and lay out blinds that you lay in the stubble rows and brush in. Mallard hunts are right before dark, or all day if it is snowing. Supposedly the ducks go nuts in a light snow, getting around to feed before it is covered.

Now, if you got the cash. Jack Brittinghams place is right there, and we went out there to see it and hang out for a bit. It is called Crooked Creek, and it is spectacular. A duck paradise, on par or better than Habitat Flats.

Here is the number, they offer limited hunts. But they looked to be first class. Justin Mace(580) 774-5499. I don't know him, but he seemed like a nice hard working guy.

Brittingham only allows hunting on weekends and requires hunters use 28 gauge shotguns. He's convinced that larger guns, 12s and 20s, create so much noise the ducks leave or avoid the area. We see some of that now. Several groups of ducks shy away from our spreads as hunters on a nearby ranch pound away with 12 gauges.

Crooked Creek also has a greenheads-only policy. Hunters can take 5 mallard drakes, plus one other type of duck — pintail, wood duck, teal, redhead. That's a 6-bird per day limit. Although it's legal to take up to two mallard hens as part of your daily bag, the hens are protected at Crooked Creek to help sustain the population. In two days of hunting, 6 hunters one day and 5 the next, we kill 11 limits of mallard drakes and feast on grilled breast fillets in the evening.

If LDWF could flood something other than a toilet some of the states WMA's would have some ducks worth hunting. Not every solid report you hear would be off Private ground. Look at the AGFC grounds, duck city maaane
