    The only Duck Blind next to the Buzzard Slough area of the Reelfoot Lake National Wildlife Refuge - Grassey Island Unit on the Bayou Du Chien River and next to Burnt Woods.
     
    I have hunted this blind location on the Bayou Du Chien River since 1961 when I first build at this location. This is the #1 Duck crossing spot for over 50 years at Reelfoot Lake going to and from the Grassy Island Unit, Black Bayou Refuge, Lake Isom Refuge and the Mississippi River.

    This Duck blind location is the best on Reelfoot Lake since 1961, it being the most consistent duck blind for over 50 years on Reelfoot Lake and the # 1 duck blind for killing decoying ducks and geese,
