About
THE BEST DUCK HUNTING KANSAS HAS TO OFFER
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.
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.
Carter’s Big Island Kansas duck hunts are all-day hunts as necessary, 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.

Carter’s Big Island Family Hunt Club began in 1986, with family duck hunting records stretching back to World War 2. To ensure attracting and holding plentiful Central Flyway mallards, they’ve intensively managed duck habitats since inception. Duck habitat types hunted include emergent and moist-soil wetlands, rivers, oxbows and desirable flooded grain-crops (corn, milo, Japanese millet, brown-top millet, golden millet and buckwheat). Our hunting properties are home to Kansas’ largest flooded green timber!
Following catastrophic flooding decades ago, Roy Carter figured that if he couldn’t beat the river he’d work with it, constructing levees and pumping water onto low-lying pin-oak flats for true green-tree reservoir duck hunting in Kansas. Nearby 4,500-acre Neosho Waterfowl Refuge, which was primarily designed and is managed to furnish a resting and feeding place for migratory waterfowl, and commercial feedlots compliment the Carter family’s Kansas duck hunting properties excellently.
