Feasibility of a Green-Tree Reservoir in Eastern Texas

The establishment of a green-tree reservoir on private land in eastern Texas was economically successful for a timber company. The initial investment was recouped within two years from hunter fees. Hunter success averaged 1.07 and 1.51 ducks per day, respectively, for the first and second seasons. Questionnaires indicated the hunters were pleased with the project and would like to see the project continued and expanded.
