Pike's Hunting Club, Inc.

Waterfowl Habitat Water control is a very important part of providing the best possible waterfowl habitat and no other club in the area has a system like this. Over 2 miles of levees have been built that allow water levels to be controlled in 7 impoundments totaling more than 100 acres. These fields are all planted to corn and plenty of grain is left standing to feed the waterfowl. A 16" pump powered by a 300 horse power diesel engine and two 12" tractor powered pumps allow us to place water where we need it when we need it. These three pumps can move up to 36,000,000 gallons of water per day. That is enough water to cover over 110 acres with one foot of water. With this type of water control, feed consumption can be controlled and quality waterfowl hunting can be maintained throughout the season. The pumps are also used to circulate water which delays freezing as long as possible. Water control also allows Pike's Hunting Club to offer some of the finest duck hunting you will find anywhere. Mallards, Pintail, Teal, Gadwall, Wood Ducks, we see 'em all!
