Like RaginRob said, its a big chunk of property. For years we got drawn for a permit to fish the canal system, the whole complex is a paradise. 3 rice blinds that I know of, not sure of how many marsh blinds. All the marsh hunts have gotten cancelled this year, which includes all the corporate hunts held on the place. Manager said they are missing out on 300 thousand bucks from the cancelled hunts. Ive asked about the acess issue before, but it doesn't look like the place will ever get opened to the public. For whatever reason most people think it is best served as a refuge. It does cost 1 million a year to maintain/run it, and if it was a public area they may go broke trying to maintain it. You would think with all the money they are bringing in from the leases they just bidded out they would have sufficient funds to open more public access.
