Exclusive Lease
    ​
     Wings Over Big Creek (WOBC) is offered to a single group of hunters (lessee) for a set period of time that is mutually agreed to by the owner, and the lessee. This type of lease is preferred by most lessee's so that your group will have WOBC to yourselves.​​ Day hunts and sub-leases to hunters outside the lease by either the lessee or the owner will not be permitted at WOBC. 
​
  WE ARE FULLY LEASED FOR THE 2026-2027 WATERFOWL SEASON
             PLEASE LET US KNOW IF WE CAN ADD YOU TO THE 
                       WAIT LIST FOR THE 2027-2028 SEASON
 
Fee Structure and Pond Flooding
     
     The fee for the agreed upon lease period is negotiated and fixed (except for the additional fees listed below). One half of the fee (non refundable) is due upon signing the lease. The rest of the fee is due by September 1 of the year.      Leases may be renewed from year to year, with current lessee having first right of refusal to renew the lease for the following season.   
      The fee will include initial flood up of ponds 1-3 and 5 for the season opener, additional pumping of water to maintain the water levels in the ponds will be an additional fee.
       Fee may be reduced if lessee is willing to wait for floodwaters to fill the ponds (instead of flooding via well). Big Creek floodwaters usually fill the ponds naturally on or before early December, and rain events usually maintain the water levels throughout the waterfowl season and beyond.
       Ponds 4, 6, and 7 cannot be filled with pumped water due to the soil conditions under the ponds. These three ponds do fill when Big Creek overtops its banks and reaches minor and/or major flood stage.
     
Lease Agreement & Liability Release
​
        If an exclusive lease is issued to a single group (LLC, Corporation, or other similar entity), a signed lease agreement will be required with a signature by a single responsible manager approved by the entity.
        If an individual lease is negotiated with multiple lessees without a corporate structure, each hunter in the group will be required to sign the lease agreement. Each signator to the lease will be responsible for the entire lease.    
        Lessees and guests will also be required to sign a liability release before entering WOBC for the first time. Lessees are responsible for assuring that guests sign a liability release and pay the fee (if applicable) before entering WOBC.
