Description
The Crooked Creek Duck Club is not just a world-class waterfowl destination, but a legacy property put together, molded, and managed for over 24 years into something special. What started as a vision, is now one of the most consistently producing and premier waterfowl properties in the central flyway.
The attention to detail and management are key factors, but it all starts with a rare property that has 3 live creeks running through it. With 6 irrigation wells and 3 mobile pumps, flooding the 28 water impoundments is a simple process. There are approximately 220 acres that can be underwater when it’s time for ducks to start migrating in. The flood control areas are a variety of timber, tillable cropland, and native habitat. Along with the tillable bottomland, there are 3 irrigated pivots equating to a total of approximately 385 tillable acres of cropland.
A large factor in the early success of the Crooked Creek Duck Club is the neighboring Fort Cobb State Park and Wildlife Management Area. Encompassing a 4000-acre lake within a grand total of 7925 acres, the extensive wildlife habitat expands above and beyond just this property. Fort Cobb Lake has been known for decades for the waterfowl attraction that it is. Hundreds of thousands of ducks and geese have migrated here for many years, with most of the surrounding farms historically being peanut growers. As farming practices changed with the times, less acres were getting farmed for peanuts. The large population of waterfowl that make their way down the central flyway to Fort Cobb Lake annually has focused on the buffet of flooded cropland at the Crooked Creek Duck Club ever since. The consistency of food, water, and extensive habitat over the last 24 years has contributed greatly to the success of having and holding ducks every year, regardless of other naturally contributing factors.
The waterfowl hunting is the main attraction, but this property is also intensely managed for trophy whitetails, Rio Grande turkeys, and Bobwhite quail. With the astounding jump in the quail and turkey populations and the 202” Boone & Crockett whitetail harvested; the results speak for themselves. One management practice used to enrich the habitat is prescribed burning conducted by the Southwestern Oklahoma State University Parks & Recreation Management Department and the Wildland Firefighting team. These types of practices provide extensive natural food sources, cover, and other habitats that cannot be replicated or reproduced any other way.
The list of hunting improvements included is very extensive! Currently, there are nearly 50 pit blinds and A-frame blinds installed in the marshes for duck hunting. There are also 13 deer blinds and feeders set up for a variety of bow and gun hunting opportunities. The internal road system makes accessing any of the blinds, fields, or feeders throughout the property convenient.
With a property like this, whether it be friends, family, or clients, everyone needs a place to stay. There are a variety of places to accommodate. The classiest home is a 2700 sq. ft. 2 bed/2 bath ranch-style home with a large outdoor living area overlooking a pond and large tillable cropland marsh. Next to this home is a 50’x80’ steel structure airplane hangar insulated shop that also has a 1 bed/1 bath and full living quarters for guests.
The original lodge is an 1800 sq. ft. 3 bed/2 bath home with large, elevated porches and an extensive view on a hill of the floodable cottonwood timber and cropland marsh bottoms. An addition to this lodge is the skinning shed outfitted with stainless steel tables, game processing equipment, and a large walk-in cooler. This well-maintained home and shed are great for all hunters.
The headquarters is unique and was designed for the waterfowl hunters in mind. It is an 80’x100’ steel insulated structure with a 2 bed/ 2 bath full living quarters and an additional lean-to finished for outdoor living. You can drive in the big garage door after a cold morning of hunting to a heated shop, dump the waders, and keep all your hunting gear organized in the hunter’s luxury locker room. You can do all that and go relax in comfort for breakfast without stepping outside again. This being the main building that all daily operations flow to and around, it is a significant asset to the property and works great for many uses.
The Crooked Creek Duck Club is more than a hunting paradise, it is a legacy in motion. Every acre, every marsh, every blind tells the story of the efforts made over the last two decades. A testament to what the right land can become when managed with vision and purpose, a true sanctuary for wildlife. The stage has been set for the next owner. To inquire about this once-in-a-lifetime property or to set up a private showing, reach out to Rustin Hayes or Steve Purviance.
