Loch Umbra Outfitters

Loch Umbra Outfitters sits on private land carved thousands of years ago by glacial activity and the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. The Pleasants family has owned and hunted this brake since 1848—but here's the thing: they've hunted it sparingly, with conservation in mind. That means ducks recognize Loch Umbra as a safe resting place, genetically imprinted to return generation after generation.

The location is unbeatable. You're in the heart of the Mississippi Delta on the Mississippi River flyway—prime waterfowl territory.

• •Multiple blinds strategically placed across duck hunting areas—your party chooses where to set up
• •Expert guidance from Huntmaster Hal Pleasants Jr. and Hal Pleasants Sr., who grew up on the property and know the brake, water, wind, and duck behavior intimately
• •Hot breakfast and lunch prepared in the blind (boudin, grilled pork, steak, sausage, eggs, muffins)
• •All-skill hunts tailored to get maximum shooting for beginners through experienced hunters
• •Weekday and weekend availability including corporate outings

"It's duck hunting with a tail-gating feel—camaraderie, comfort, good food, dogs, and ducks."

You launch from the Loch Umbra boat landing (steps away) and reach the blinds within minutes. After the hunt, Greenwood, MS is close by—grab a nap and hit the Alluvian Hotel bar or other Greenwood nightspots to top off the day.
