Introducing The Pit

The Pit
The Pit, a 60 acre leased parcel of wetland, is a rugged tract fed by a steady artesian well. Once considered a less than ideal piece of land due to its deep mud and being overtaken by cattails, is now undergoing a transformation. We're turning The Pit into a waterfowl paradise, fostering a safe nesting location in spring, and an epic hunting location in fall.

Our Progress
We are working closely with the Iowa NRCS office to create an engineering plan in order to transform The Pit. A strict engineering plan needs to be created and followed in order to comply with the many conservation programs land in the Mississippi river valley belong to. Due to this, heavy dirt work and construction will be delayed and hopes to start in 2026.
