Prairie Pond - Waterfowl

This property is NOT a part of the Oregon Trail Waterfowl Pass, and will only be open for booking for the first 3 weeks of waterfowl season. This pond will serve as a crucial roosting spot as the months go on and weather gets colder. It is the wish of the landowner and Infinite Outdoors to avoid hunting the roost and pushing birds out of the area for good. Tucked away in the sandhills south of Torrington, this shallow pond provides a rare early-season duck hunting opportunity. The property is only open for a short window each year—from opening day in September through mid-October—because as migration builds, the pond becomes a primary roost site, and the landowner has requested it not be disturbed past that point. Hunters can wade the pond from bank to bank, but be mindful—there are soft spots where you may sink a foot or more. Dogs are strongly recommended here for safe and efficient bird retrieval. No permanent blind is provided, so bring your own setup that fits the conditions. Vehicles must remain on the established road, and please respect posted boundaries during your hunt.

This pond sits in prime sandhill country near the North Platte River flyway and is an excellent early-season spot for ducks. Mallards, teal, and gadwalls are common here in September and early October, taking advantage of the shallow water for loafing and feeding. The pond’s calm setting makes it an attractive stopover for birds moving through before the main push of the migration. Because the water is shallow and surrounded by natural cover, hunters can set up effectively with minimal gear and enjoy consistent early-season action.
