I know you guys have already thought of this, but please, please don't try to cram to many spots in the new area. A few less spots can sure allow more quality hunting. Come on teal teason!

There have been discussions of great length and much consideration of installing wells to supply water for Pool 1.  It has been determined the number of wells required to recharge this reservoir would be financially unfeasible to install, operate and maintain. There is also concern of depleting the local aquifer by removing so large a quntity of  ground water.  Pool 1 will continue to be recharged by surface runoff and overflow from the local watershed and the Castor River.

Darin, There is definite possibility there will be teal hunting opportunity available in Units A and B.  We are still waiting for the completion of the electric control boxes to the wells and final connection to the electric supply lines.  This should be completed soon and I am anxious as anyone to start getting some water on the ground.  I'll let you all know as soon as I know myself what we will have available.  Thanks for your continued interest and support!

will there ever be a point that the main lake will be so low you would consider putting water "back" into the lake using the wells? i remember somewhere in the early 80's that it got so low it was very difficult to get out into the center of the lake.

With duck numbers up this year on all but a few species, blue wing teal numbers continue to sky rocket up to near similar mallard numbers. Is there any possibility with the new pumping capabilities there will be teal hunting available in the A and B units this year? Season is closing in on us fast and it won't take much cool weather up north to push the birds down this way.....considering these small ducks are the first to migrate as early as August. Thanks!!

At the current rate of loss of water in Pool 1 reservoir, it is unlikely there will be sufficient water to flood any of Pools 2,3 or 8 until fall rains arrive.  The electric line has been laid to all six wells in Unit A and B but we are still relying on the electrical contractors to finish the control boxes before the line can be energized.  We need to ensure the wells work and water can be diverted as designed before designating available hunting positions.  This should happen within the next two to three weeks.  After we know for sure we have pumping capability, we will post an update concerning available hunting positions.  Thanks for your continued interest in the Duck Creek renovation project.

Any idea how many spots there may be this year at Duck Creek? With Quick Draw being extended again this year at only the same 3 spots. Increased pressure at the Non-Quick Draw areas will continue, and Just wondering if it will even be worth it this year to head down there.

Very interesting, amazing what can be discovered when you ask yourself what the heck is that?
