Easy hip boot access to the blind and the shooting pool on most days. Occasional high water days will require chest waders. We are not fond of floater blinds much preferring the stability of 4x4 posts auger 3 feet into the earth, however this location has proven itself over the seasons to be a great duck spot and the variable water levels make the floater blind a better option than a blind on stilts as would happen during the low water periods.
Blind 4 faces the east just 200 yards from Big Creek, 2 miles north of Urich Missouri, only a 45 minute drive from South Kansas City. The shooting pool covers over 20 surface acres of water on a wetland that has a pipe structure allowing us to drain water during the summer months to plant millet or allow volunteer smartweed grow to feed the ducks and geese in the fall.
From this wetlands. Blind 4 is on a a floating deck, which allows us to reposition the blind each season. Big Creek is long-established mallard flyway that goes back to the market hunting days.
