Duck Blind-Field/Leases Rates - Old South Delta Area
Posted on 1/29/20 at 3:47 pm

What's the going rate for a field, no blinds or with drag blinds/layouts (basically the tenant provides his own blind(s)) around the Larto/Vick (Old South Delta) area.
Say with and without guaranteed water.
Thanks for any info.

That’s a loaded question... There’s a sucker born every day. A lot of them have a duck hunting obsession and use too much of their discretionary income to fulfill that obsession.
My uncle has gotten 7500-10k for a damn bar pit more times than not over the last 10 years or so. I used to work for him and we planted it and tried to hunt it a handful of times without any luck. After that, all we did was drain it in the spring, let it grow up in natural vegetation, and plug the ditch in the fall. If somebody wanted to call him up and offer him some money, he’d take it. If he didn’t get any calls, whatever. Bet he rents it out 75% of the time and there hasn’t been a total of 100 ducks killed in the thing in the last 15 years.

I'm looking for a lease in the Pecan Island area with a refuge surrounding it, what would something like this run?

A little northeast of that is $ 7500 with no guaranteed water and $ 9000 with water . More bad days then good . This was my last year after 30 years .

What about Rockefeller? Seems like there's spots all around Rockefeller

Maybe if your last name is Gates or Jobs or marry a M O Miller heir. Deep pockets west of Rock needed, like really deep and that’s GC not PI.

in 1982 leases totally 750 acres(1 was 400 the other 350) and they were solid..... cost right at 2500, which included some shell road access and keys to some gates and fishing rights to much corporate marsh. today the same lease, last i heard is 34k and does not include the camp location.

yes... but I can assure you our habitat was dramatically better. At least in south la..... and... the boat traffic was dramatically different then too... and I remember our 630 acres in welsh.... everyone parked their truck and walked about a 1/2 a mile to blind - us and neighbors with a similar tract..... now everyone takes a motor boat and or an atv to the blind. also our marsh spot in se la... back then we parked boat about 3/4 of a mile and paddled to blinds... now... it's such open water you can take a motor boat to blind.. and everyone does... weekdays we would see ZERO fishermen... now.. you see 20/30 a morning.

I got asked to join in a lease a few miles off the Diversion Canal Rd. last year. Wanted $8,000 for two blinds on about 200 acres. You had an option to pump at the beginning of the season if there was no water for an extra $2,000.
They killed just over 120 ducks this year out there.
ETA: I grew up hunting the Delta Plantation and we would shoot 500 ducks a year out of one blind with about 30-40% being Mallards back in the early 2000s. Its crazy how that area (and most of the state) has totally changed.

The majority i've seen there are between 6500-8500 but I don't think theres any way the farmers continue to get these prices for much longer. I have several friends that farm rice and beans there and in avoyelles and all of the blinds they lease were poor to below average this year. I guess as long as its easy and convenient for the rich to drive down a levee and walk in knee boots to a pit blind some will always be leased out but i dont see how people justify if for 100 birds a season or less these days.

I believe they are leasing it by the Section now. I may be wrong, but I think a Section is going for $20,000.

Personally, I would rather hunt our rice field lease and shoot 100 ducks than deal with the shite show that is public hunting Spring Bayou or Catahoula. Its not the ducks I feel like we are paying for its the ease of hunting.
I do think that more and more people are going to start going on long weekends up north to get their duck fix in though.
