The Nelson Field is a 150 acre rice farm with one 3-person blind located right in the middle of the property. The checks run north/west to south/east and the ducks work in from the north west during a south wind and stormy conditions. The property is just north of one the Lundberg Family Farms organic rice fields, which draws a large number of ducks in the area due to the lack of hunting pressure and the abundance of cover combined with the rice grain remaining in the filed after harvest. The straw will be incorporated in to the ground after harvest, which also adds to the attraction of ducks for feeding and resting. Water is provided by the Western Canal Water District and we provide a constant flow throughout the season.

This field is over 140 acres with only one blind and the checks are over a mile long. It's a long walk to the blind but you won't have anything to distract working ducks when you are in the blind.
