The Crooked Creek Duck Club is not just a world-class waterfowl destination but a legacy property, carefully developed and managed for over 24 years into something truly special. What began as a vision has become one of the most consistently producing and premier waterfowl properties in the Central Flyway. Attention to detail and management are key factors, but it all starts with a rare property featuring three live creeks running through it. With six irrigation wells and three mobile pumps, flooding the 28 water impoundments is a simple process. Approximately 220 acres can be underwater when ducks begin migrating. The flood control areas feature a mix of timber, tillable cropland, and native habitat. Along with the tillable bottomland, there are three irrigated pivots totaling about 385 tillable acres of cropland.

A large factor in the property’s early success is the neighboring Fort Cobb State Park and Wildlife Management Area. Encompassing a 4,000-acre lake within a total of 7,925 acres, the extensive wildlife habitat extends well beyond this property. Fort Cobb Lake has long been known for its strong waterfowl attraction, hosting hundreds of thousands of ducks and geese each year. As peanut farming declined in the area, migrating waterfowl have focused on the abundant flooded cropland of the Crooked Creek Duck Club. The consistent food, water, and habitat over the past 24 years have ensured excellent waterfowl numbers year after year, regardless of natural conditions.

While waterfowl hunting is the main attraction, the property is also intensely managed for trophy whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkeys, and bobwhite quail. The notable increase in quail and turkey populations and the harvest of a 202-inch Boone & Crockett whitetail demonstrate the effectiveness of its management practices. One key management technique is prescribed burning, conducted by the Southwestern Oklahoma State University Parks & Recreation Management Department and the Wildland Firefighting team. These efforts create diverse natural food sources and cover that cannot be replicated otherwise.

The list of hunting improvements is extensive. Nearly 50 pit and A-frame blinds are installed in the marshes for duck hunting, and 13 deer blinds with feeders provide both bow and gun hunting opportunities. The internal road system allows convenient access to all blinds, fields, and feeders throughout the property.

Accommodations are equally impressive. The 2,700 sq. ft. ranch-style home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a large outdoor living area overlooking a pond and cropland marsh. Adjacent is a 50’x80’ insulated steel hangar-shop with a 1 bed/1 bath guest suite. The original 1,800 sq. ft. lodge offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large elevated porches, and sweeping views of the floodable cottonwood timber and cropland bottoms. Attached is a well-equipped skinning shed with stainless steel tables, processing equipment, and a walk-in cooler.

The headquarters is an 80’x100’ insulated steel building designed specifically for waterfowl hunters, featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a heated shop, and a “hunter’s locker room” for storing and drying gear. A large garage door allows easy drive-in access after hunts, providing warmth and convenience. Serving as the operational hub, this facility is a major asset for daily management.

The Crooked Creek Duck Club is more than a hunting paradise—it is a legacy in motion. Every acre, marsh, and blind tells the story of dedication and vision over the past two decades. A true sanctuary for wildlife, it stands as a testament to what land can become when managed with purpose. The stage is set for the next steward to continue its remarkable legacy.
