Abstract: A duck shooting resort layout having a body of water, a peripheral embankment encircling the water, a duck hunting region within the resort, and duck hunting blinds within the hunting region from which hunters may shoot ducks. A method of training ducks to fly only within the hunting region is described. Multiple embodiments, with islands, piers, or embankment fingers, are described that safely allow a high density of hunters within a given land area. The resort terrain may be sculpted into the invention's structure at a minimum of cost and movement of dirt. The water depth may increase toward the channel ends for harvesting fish by partial draining, and grading screens may be provided at the ends for harvesting fish. A method of using sound for attracting and grading fish in a commercial fish farming operation, with grading screens used during harvesting of fish.
