The Club
A place steeped in the history of nearly 100 years of duck hunting tradition that's been updated to provide modern amenities including private rooms, a reverse-osmosis water system, satellite TV, and full WiFi coverage.
The Club House
Supporting almost a century of waterfowl hunting, the original structure was built in 1926 and has been added onto several times since. While the exterior is maintained in its historic state, this facade hides the infrastructure required to support a 21st century duck club - reverse osmosis water filtration, WiFi connectivity, a commercial kitchen, fully stocked bar, protected mooring, and experienced resident keepers are just some of the amenities enjoyed by Rich Island members and guests.
Hunting Days
Rich Island hosts hunts on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday in season. The club boat picks members and guests up at McAvoy Yacht Harbor west of Pittsburg at 5pm on Tuesday afternoon for Wednesday hunts (returning to McAvoy's at 11am on Wednesday) and 2pm and 5pm on Friday afternoon for Saturday hunts (returning to McCoy's at 1pm on Saturday and again on Sunday for weekend hunts). Many members keep private boats at McAvoy to support anytime runs over to the club - and are happy to provide a ride should you miss the club launch.
Blind Drawing
Once you've reached the club, drop your workweek duds in your room, put your dog in the kennel, stop by the bar to grab a refreshment and begin to think about what blind you'll draw after dinner for the next morning's shoot as you reconnect with friends and their guests prior to a communal dinner in the dining room.
