Hunting Potential

The northwest corner of this property is within 1/2 mile of the Cache river, which is well known for extraordinary numbers of migrating waterfowl in the winter months. The southwest corner of the property is within 3/4 mile of Bayou DeView which is also one of the main line water streams of the Mississippi flyway. This area is best known for the concentration of rice production and has historically been known as one of the best areas of the Mississippi Flyway for waterfowl. The production of rice provides ample food for the winter waterfowl flights which make for the staying power for the wintering of ducks and geese. Bayou DeView and Cache River are historically known as two of the mainlines in the Mississippi flyway system. This assures the avid waterfowl hunter of one successful duck hunting season after another.

Harvested rice field management is the centerpiece of waterfowl management in this area. Rice is the most common crop in the region used by ducks. Rice left after the harvest provides a source of food that does not rot on the wet flooded ground as quickly as other cultivated seeds.
