Flooded Crop at Bob Brown Waterfowl Area

Blind 3

A good overcast duck day that had well over 200 ducks on the water when we drove up to take these pictures weeks before the season in 70 degree weather.

Dry land walk up. The average depth is 12 to 30 inches, which accommodates hip waders.

View looking directly out, south, from blind 3.

The shooting pool behind blind 3. Another 360 degree shotting pool with pumped crop stubble directly north of the Bob Brown Wildlife Area on the Missouri River bottoms.

Blind 4

This is a combination crop stubble goose and flooded crop duck hunting wetlands.

The crop in the pictures was beans. The year before and after was corn.

The pump inflow pipe discharges in front of the blind providing open water for late season hunting when other leases and clubs in the area are frozen and not huntable.

The average depth is 12 to 30 inches but around the bar ditch is deeper, so chest waders are required. The blind faces the Missouri River to the south with 80 acres of crop stubble to the west for large goose spreads.

A view from the northeast facing the back of blind 4.

Chest waders are required to walk to the blind with water on the front and back side.

The same blind before flooding showing the water inflow pipe immediately in front of the blind that keeps this blind in open water while others in the area are frozen and not huntable.

missouri duck huntsJohn/Jon:
I just wanted to say thanks for some great hunting this fall and wanted to show you some pictures of some recent hunting success I've had on MAHA leased land.

I'd hunted hard all day long on the [location deleted] deer opener on Wednesday on some MAHA land north of [location deleted] and never left the tree stand (I was going crazy by then...) and had passed on a 6 pt early and another mid-day. I shot this buck when he came running across a grassy hill straight toward me about 5 PM and came within 20 yards of my tree in the wood line. I grunted to stop him and had an easy broadside shot.

The next morning, about 14 hours later, I limited out on drake mallards, and thought it might be a good picture of them both together, ala my buddy Albert who is famous for "mixed bag" pictures. I aptly titled it "Why I love Kansas." I have really appreciated the fine hunting this fall, especially since this time last year I was in Baghdad and wasn't doing any hunting -- well not this type at least.
Take care and good hunting, Dave
