We used to hunt there quite a bit growing up. Not sure if the process is still the same, but everyone used to lineup in their trucks outside the gate before it opened. I'd say be there at least an hour before shooting time. Some folks would camp out there the whole night. The spots are first come-first serve. You'll check-in and pick your spot off a map at the checkstation. They have roads you can drive your truck to get decently close to the hunting spots and then you can walk from there. There are some maps you can pull up online to get an idea of the setup. We've had some great hunts down there and shot a variety of different ducks. I still remember shooting my first Canvasback there. Good luck if ya'll decide to go.
