The Open Mile - Waterfowl

This property is one of 12 that are a part of the Oregon Trail Waterfowl Pass. Hunting here is limited to Oregon Trail Waterfowl Pass Holders and their guests - inquire within IO if you'd like more information about the pass. This property gives you a full mile of huntable river frontage along the North Platte, offering plenty of space to spread out and run your hunt the way you like. It’s a true DIY setup—no blinds are provided here—so bring your own gear and plan your hide according to conditions. Expect a longer haul than some of our other spots, with most walks running 300–400 yards from the parking area down to the river. Dogs are welcome for retrieving but not required if you’re comfortable wading—just use caution and check depth as you go. If you’re interested in the pass program, get in touch with IO for details. As always, please keep vehicles on the established road and stay within your assigned boundaries during the hunt.

This property sit along a prime stretch of the North Platte River outside Torrington, Wyoming—a region well known for outstanding waterfowl hunting. Ducks and geese move through heavily during the migration, and the mix of slower bends, sandbars, and side channels creates excellent loafing, feeding, and roosting habitat. Mallards, pintails, teal, and wigeon are common along this river, while Canada geese use the Platte as a major corridor throughout the fall and winter. The combination of moving water, seasonal sandbars, and backwater sloughs provides consistent opportunities across the entire season. With reliable access and quality blind setups, hunters will find these riverfront properties well-positioned for memorable waterfowl hunts.
