Traditions
Duck and Gun Club is an exclusive waterfowl
hunting club located in eastern North Carolina.
For the
2019-2020 waterfowl season we are limiting membership to six (6).
This assures all members the quality hunting experience they deserve.
The club is located approximately 15 miles from
the famed Goose Creek Island Game Lands in the heart of waterfowl
county. Not only is the club located in a natural flyway, it is
intensively managed to provide first class waterfowl habitat.
We realize from experience how frustrating it
can be to have other hunters crowd you, and having to get up at 2:00 am
to be the first one to THE SPOT. Our limited membership policy
assures that there are more impoundments than members. All of our
blinds are just a short walk from the lodge. When you wake up you
can be in the blind in a matter of minutes instead of hours.
THE IMPOUNDMENTS
The club features a total of eighteen
impoundments. For the 2019-2020 season the club is planning to
plant sixteen of these impoundments with a mixture of corn and
millet. The impoundments are approximately three acres in size,
and are filled from two deep wells located on the property. This helps
to ensure that water will be available to flood the impoundments before
the season.
Members will be given their choice of blind
unless one of the following instances occurs:
▪ Two members want the same blind.
▪ More
than four members show up to hunt on the same day.
When this condition occurs we will hold a
lottery type drawing to assign blinds.
THE HUNT
We will hunt the
impoundments Wednesdays, Saturdays, Thanksgiving and New Years Day as
long as they fall within the 2019-2020 duck season as prescribed by the
State of North Carolina. The exception to this rule when a holiday
falls within one day of the Wednesday hunt.
A schedule will be posted at the club.
The nearby Pamlico River and Sound offer excellent diver hunting and
members are welcome to stay at the club any day during duck
season. Do not forget your Swan Permit - last season swans were
abundant on the farm. The club maintains two blinds on South
Creek that are available to members anytime during the season.
THE LODGE
The lodge is located near the center of the
property. This provides easy access to all blinds. During
duck season, breakfast will be served mornings one hour after legal
shooting time.
GUEST POLICY
Members may bring two guests per day with them
on any day outlined earlier. Members and guest must hunt from the
same blind. Members wanting to bring an overnight guest should
call the club manager at least twenty four hours in advance to assure
sleeping arrangements. In the event that a member needs to bring
more than two guest, there will be a $200.00 fee per person per day
payable to the hunt master.
MEMBERSHIP
Membership for the
2019-2020 season is $7500.00. A $2500.00 deposit will reserve
your membership. The club will be open to the first six members
who pay their deposit.
