2012 MS Delta Ducks Open House

In this fourth session of the season hunt program, I am excited to host our first Open House. I have been affiliated with the program all four years, and this will be my third year as director. If you have taken advantage of the materials offered on our web site, you realize that we endeavor to arm you with the information required to make your expectations meet the program. The offering descriptions along with the FAQs are detailed and thorough. Additionally, we set up booths at the main wildlife trade shows in Mississippi and Alabama where we have met many of you. Tours are conducted throughout the year, and hours spent on phone calls and emails disseminating information about the hunting opportunities. This is an affordable chance to hunt the strongest waterfowl areas in the MS Delta over a variety of venues. Of the $3,600.00 cost for a four man season hunt group, 60% goes directly to the landowners, 12% to the hunt staff, 8% to program operations (blind construction materials and food plot supplies), and 16% to the company for administrative costs and profit. Of the groups currently enrolled to participate in our hunt programs for the upcoming season, 55% have hunted with us in prior seasons while 45% are joining us for the first time. As we enter the fourth season, we have the advantage of the previous years' experience. The staff continues to make changes to the blind prototype and refine the method of assigning staff members to groups and groups to holes. The program benefits from the relationships built with many of the current groups. This Open House gives those of you who are interested in the program an opportunity to get a first hand look at what is offered. Tours of the hunting areas will be conducted, a retrieving demonstration conducted by one of our hunters, and a meal served offering the groups the opportunity to network with staff and other hunters. I am excited at the prospect of renewing friendships and embarking on new ones. I encourage you to take advantage of this showcase on Saturday, October 20, 2012, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Give me a call at 601-479-4873 to reserve a spot at the Open House.
