Wetland Units

The Ducks Unlimited (DU) designed wetland units were created to establish and maintain superior waterfowl habitat and hunting opportunities. Pintail Ridges' ability to control water on demand from a spring fed lake into and out of managed wetlands is the key factor to successful habitat management. This component is achieved via a previously mined pit, close to the southernmost wetland units, which holds an impressive amount of water. The spring fed lake and pump are included in the sale and will be accessed through an easement across the levee. All units are equipped with agridrains or flow through flap gates. The water for the northern wetland units is supplied by rainfall and adjacent creek flooding.

The avid waterfowler that is management minded in nature knows and understands processes, food types, prescribed burn management, unit flooding timing/levels all play roles into a successful season but must maintain the mindset to change from year to year based on the previous seasons' patterns. Pintail Ridge has been thoughtfully set up to properly manage each unit to maximize success and wetland vegetation.

Waterfowl imprinting is also a key component to successful days in the field. This can be achieved by following the current management plans, understanding and knowing when and why to change the course of action. With continued attention to detail Pintail Ridge will certainly provide future generations many successful days in the field.

The wetland units range in size from 1+/- acre to 47+/- acres.

Wildlife & Hunting

In addition to the superb waterfowl hunting and habitat, Pintail Ridge Hunting Club also offers excellent opportunities to harvest trophy whitetail deer. The northern portion of the ranch should provide ample opportunities with the surrounding tracts being heavily timbered, Pintail Ridge's open meadows and abundant surface water, should pull in neighboring whitetail deer away from heavy cover.

Anyone who is familiar with the Trinity River bottomlands know that the hog hunting opportunities are endless. To round out the hunting, Pintail Ridge is also setup very well to hunt dove come each fall. A fishing component may be easily introduced into the ranch by stocking the spring fed lake
