Private Water Hunting

Private Water Hunting operates a membership-based duck hunting club with exclusive access to private lakes scattered across North Texas—most within 90 miles of Dallas, many just an hour from downtown. The core concept is simple: you book a lake, you hunt it alone with your group. No competition. No boat ramps full of other hunters. One lake, all day, all yours.

• •Advance reservations lock in exclusive access to a single property for your hunting day
• •Multiple properties available across North Texas (Seagoville, Wills Point, Ennis, Lancaster, Van Alstyne, Ferris, and more)
• •Hunting blinds included on most lakes—metal blinds added in recent seasons
• •Hunting pressure controlled with more rest days than hunting days to keep birds unpressured
• •Great for families - introduce kids and grandchildren to waterfowl hunting in a controlled environment

The club manages over 100 properties across Texas. Featured duck hunting lakes include:

Membership includes: - Unlimited hunting day reservations (based on membership tier) - Access to the entire network of private lakes - Use of hunting blinds (most properties) - No overcrowding—your group is the only one on the lake - Direct landowner relationships and permission to hunt - Online reservation system for easy booking

The club was founded on a stewardship-first philosophy. Steve Alexander built relationships with landowners based on trust, careful management of hunting pressure, and respect for the property. That same approach continues under current managing partners Joshua Massoud and Lindsay Polyak.

"I've been a member since 2005. After 30 years as a professional bass fishing guide, I knew what quality looked like. What struck me about this club wasn't the fish—it was what I didn't see. No jet skis. No crowds at the ramp. No ambient noise. Just solitude and wildlife." — Don Nichols, Member since 2005

Member feedback consistently highlights: - Solitude - actual peace and quiet on the water - Low entry cost - no big boat required, just a small pond boat or kayak with a trolling motor - High success rates - smaller, well-managed lakes with healthy fish populations - Family-friendly - children under 12 fish free on most properties - Wildlife viewing - deer, hogs, sandhill cranes, Canadian geese, owls
