COMMENTS: The Little Dry Creek Duck Club is located in the hottest area for waterfowl hunting in California today. Both the Little Dry Creek Refuge and Howard Slough Refuge are managed extremely well to attract and hold waterfowl throughout the hunting season. It is a known fact that many of the birds who used to travel south along Butte Creek to many famous clubs in the Butte Sink now stop and stay in the Upper Butte Basin. The famous clubs in the central part of the Butte Sink have seen their hunting success diminish in recent years while the Upper Butte Basin has had phenomenal hunting success. Please call now to schedule a private showing of one of the best duck clubs in California.
