This is a rare opportunity to belong to the historical Lower 40 Duck Club in Mason County, Illinois. As far back as the 1920s this club has been in existence and has been known as one of the premier private clubs on the Illinois River. This is a turn-key club that has 6 ownership shares available with 11 members total in the club. The Lower 40 encompasses 318 acres and lays adjacent the Illinois River. With 7 maintained blinds available and room for an additional 3-4, this creates a lot of opportunities for each member. Located in strategic locations is over 30 acres of levied food plot fields that are planted and flooded each year with the 1,000 gallons a minute electric irrigation pump. As any avid waterfowler knows, controlling your own water is critical when hunting over planted food. The club can also pump water out if necessary. Additionally, there are over 100 acres of Illinois River backwater lake waterfowl hunting. If you like to whitetail deer hunt, there is great river bottom deer hunting that is available to each member as well. To access the club property, there is a private ferry that members use which adds to the history of the Lower 40 Duck Club. Other than the lake hunting area, another huge bonus is members can access each blind or hunting area by land or water. Included in the club membership is access to the 2,000 square foot 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath clubhouse that is available for your overnight stays. The club has all of the equipment needed for full management of the property.
