As the morning fog settles over the sloughs and the first flights begin to filter through the trees, you'll understand why properties like this are so hard to come by. Whether you're slipping in with a canoe, setting up decoys along the timber, or waiting quietly in your favorite hole, this property offers the natural habitat that ducks seek.

If you've been searching for a place where the alarm clock goes off long before daylight and the sounds of whistling wings replaces traffic noise, this 196 acre hunting property in the Leaf River Basin is exactly what you've been waiting for. Built for the waterfowl hunter, this secluded Southeast Mississippi tract offers access to multiple sloughs that consistently attract migrating ducks, especially wood ducks that naturally use these timbered waterways throughout the season. As the morning fog settles over the sloughs and the first flights begin to filter through the trees, you'll understand why properties like this are so hard to come by. Whether you're slipping in with a canoe, setting up decoys along the timber, or waiting quietly in your favorite hole, this property offers the natural habitat that ducks seek. Beyond the sloughs, several small lakes created from former gravel mining operations provide additional loafing and feeding opportunities for waterfowl while also offering potential fishing during the off season. From casting a line in the afternoon to watching wood ducks drop into the water at sunset, this property delivers year-round outdoor enjoyment. The land itself features gentle rolling sand sand hills, creating good elevation changes with pretty views overlooking the bottoms. While duck hunting is the headline attraction, the recreational opportunities don't stop there. Good populations of deer, turkey, and small game make this a true four-season sporting property. Whether you're chasing gobblers in the spring, fishing during the summer, bow hunting in the fall, or waiting on a cold front to push ducks down from the north, there's always a reason to be here. Conveniently located near Petal, Mississippi, this unique tract offers the opportunity to own your own private hunting destination in one of Southeast Mississippi's most productive river basin.
