In regard to waterfowling, people often dump on this place because:…read more 1) The open marsh areas can get super crowded--not a great thing for a sport involving shotguns. Get out there early if you want a good spot, but don't be surprised if someone motors in ten minutes before shooting time and sets up 50 yards from you. 2) You will run into slob hunters: people who skybust, crowd your zone in the managed areas, try to bully you out of your spot, call constantly (and badly) thus driving off ducks working your spread, shoot grebes, seagulls, and swans, and dump trash in parking lots. 3) A lot of time the hunting can be poor. 4) There are only about four zones in the managed area that are usually productive. 5) Thefts from cars aren't unusual at the boat launches, and when you get to one in the wee hours of the morning, you can run into some sketchy characters. But you have to take the bad with the good. There is probably not a better public waterfowling area near Detroit. It's accessible for walk-in hunters as well as those with boats. There's some great habitat and the staff there works hard maintaining and improving it. Hit this place during a migration and the hunting can be fantastic. And while the slobs are always out, you'll meet some great people there too: very skilled hunters, guys who will help you get your boat in and out, even some who invite you to join their party. More often than not other hunters are sportsmanlike and friendly, despite those sometimes sour a hunt there. If Pte. Mouillee were farther from a major population center it likely wouldn't have many of the problems it does. But waterfowlers in Detroit wouldn't enjoy nearly the opportunities they have thanks to it.

I only go here for fishing, and it's a very peaceful place sometimes. It's not crowded with kids…read moreor other park goers, because nobody ever goes back there except to fish or boat. On weekends, it's hard to find a place to even fish, because it's so crowded. There's always a flow of boats coming and going from the docks. I like that you can pull up right to the water and fish, so it's convenient to listen to the radio in your car and not lug supplies all around. I've been here many times with a cooler full of beer and haven't had a problem with that. The waters can be somewhat clogged with grass, but there are some good fish in there.

I have never personally experienced a guided hunt at this facility; however, I can speak to what I…read moredo know of the place. We were GIVEN one of their guide dogs bc he was no longer a good fit for their lodge due to a leg issue that was supposedly fixed with surgery. He "just wasn't able to do as many hunts a day that they required of him". After numerous calls from my boyfriend they refused to answer his questions or give him the info that he was requesting. I finally called and spoke to Ruth. Ruth gave me the vets number that they used for him during his stay there (which wasn't too lengthy). I called that vets office, they gave me minimal info on him. I took him to my vets office for an overall exam. According to Ruth, from Elkhorn, he was intact and in great health needing nothing once leaving their facility. The plan was to neuter him as soon as we could. The issue was, he didn't have any balls, meaning he would need exploratory surgery to make sure they weren't impacted inside him causing MORE issues. Elkhorn stated he just had arthritis and an old surgery from a "bone spur" removal. We scheduled X-rays at my vets office and as directed by my vet I called Elkhorn immediately and confronted Ruth again about all the possible medical expenses faced with the dog they had given us and demanded all the vet information they had on him that instant. She miraculously found his records within min of speaking to her. It turned out that he was in fact already neutered after she swore that when he left their facility he was intact. He only had surgery on one leg for an OCD lesion when he had it on both rear legs and he had an ACL injury that was never addressed. These were all on the records from the breeders vet they had received him from. Once they got this poor dog from the breeder with all of these issues acknowledged, they ran this poor dog until he could not do the job they required of him. They dumped this poor guy on us without giving us the full report of how much work/surgeries he would need. Now we are faced with bilateral ACL injuries that require surgery and a dog that will most likely not be able to function as a LIGHT bird hunting dog even after the surgeries. All of this for this guy at just 2-3 years of age. You would think that they would treat their dogs as prized possessions given they do the work for their business. Its very sad to see how neglected this young dogs medical conditions have been. They aren't forthcoming with information until you drag it out of them. Based off my experience with this facility and the brothers who referred us to take this dog (Fouty brothers), I would NOT recommend.
