The Gumz Family have been established as exceptional hunters for many generations.  They have developed and owned some of the best waterfowl hunting ground in the country.  So well known, that the State of Indiana purchased nearly 800 acres from them in 1982 to add to the Kankakee Fish and Wild Life Area.  Often this State owned game preserve is called the Gumz Hunt Club.

Through time, the Gumz Family has developed and maintained large areas of hunting for fowl and deer alike.  Trapping is also a strong family tradition.   These hunting areas were part of a private hunting club that had a substantial waiting list for an invitation.

Kevin Gumz, owner of the Kankakee Marsh Hunt Club LLC, has not only been an avid hunter from his days as a youth, but owns an excavating company that specialized in Wetland Developments.  He has designed and built wetlands for Ducks Unlimited, Inc. and Waterfowl USA plus numerous hunting clubs and private individuals.  So needless to say, his hunting grounds are first rate!

The next step was to take this experience and fertile ground to the discriminating hunter.  Module hunting for deer and waterfowl had been available on a limited basis in the years past.  Due to the huge demand, the Kankakee Marsh Hunt Club was formed to offer the best hunting available, sleeping accommodations and a lodge that no one wants to leave.

The new facilities are second to none and designed with the total hunting experience in mind.  Over 1200 owned acres have the best blinds, stands, pits and layouts that can be found.  Years of experience have developed feeding and nesting areas that keep the animals coming back year after year.

Strong family traditions, good land and hunting management, and years of success makes this venture the best hunting experience available in the Midwest.
