Pond 1A is a 7 acre irrigation lake 30 minutes south of KC.
Access to the lake is a 1/2 mile walk from the road. Chest waders are required to place decoys and retrieve game.
The depth of the lake ranges from 1 to 10 feet.
The Settles Ford Wildlife area is 8 miles from this property which attracts large numbers of both ducks and geese.
A lot of the birds from Settles Ford and the Grand River Bottoms fly 5 to 10 miles to feed and escape the pressure from the nearby duck clubs.
Pond 1A has both water and feed to attract waterfowl in an area with very little hunting pressure.
For the hunter that does not own an ATV to haul decoys and gear to and from their hunting area, we recommend using a 2-wheel deer cart. They are very light weight and easy to pull. 
The shallow end of the irrigation lake. 
Large decoy spreads are not required. Two dozen mixed will give as good a result as 200. This is the water depth just off shore along the irrigation lake where the family of three hunters set up with their own layout blinds. 
Not every day is a good day. On this one we watched many fly by not in the least bit interested in our decoys or calls. They were on the move and flew out of sight over the horizon. Even those of us that live here and work the birds regular cannot have the success we seek all the time. JW |
