CBI Kansas "Gold" Waterfowl Hunts

Experience some of the best duck hunting in the world, right here in Kansas, at Carter’s Big Island Hunt Club! This is over-water Kansas mallard hunting at its finest.

The Gold Package:

Depending on the hunting situation, blinds vary from spacious Koehler and Concealed Comfort pit blinds to Osceola skid blinds and Blindspot Outdoors LLC blinds, sometimes simply hugging a nearby pin oak. Most hunts are conducted over water in Flooded Timber, Corn, Milo, various Millets, shallow water Soybeans, Buckwheat, Rice and various desirable Aquatic vegetation species, Oxbows, and even River Hunting. We use large decoy spreads with plentiful motion, but we will move to dry-field set-ups as duck movement dictates. We own and manage these spots year round, strictly for waterfowl. Our pricing reflects the time and effort put in year round to manage our land and provide the best habitat possible for wintering waterfowl....specifically Mallards!

Carter’s Big Island Kansas duck hunts take place in the morning or sometimes the afternoon depending on how birds are moving, focusing primarily on over-water mallard hunting on privately owned and intensively managed duck properties that are home to Kansas’ largest flooded green timber area.

We run groups of 7 maximum, so any group larger than that will be split up.

Lodging and meals are not included. Hotels and restaurants are available nearby.

Guests meet their guides well before shooting time and follow them to the hunting location about 15-20 minutes away. Guide-staff deploy the decoys while clients relax and get settled in.

Maximum party size: 7 hunters. Any party with 5 or more hunters guarantees your own blind, parties with less than 5 may be joined by another party of 1-3.

We do offer bird cleaning for $10/bird.
