At Pike’s Hunting Club in Marion, IL, the creation and preservation of
waterfowl habitat, coupled
with water control, are essential elements in the club’s ability
to provide the best possible waterfowl hunting experience. According to
John Pike, one of the club’s owners:
“No other club in the area has a system like this.
Over 2 miles of levees have been built that allow water levels to
be controlled in 7 impoundments totaling more than 100 acres. These fields
are all planted to corn and plenty of grain is left standing to feed the
waterfowl. A 16" Crisafulli pump powered by a 300 HP diesel engine
and two Crisafulli 12" tractor powered pumps allow us to place water
where we need it, when we
need it. These three pumps can move up to 36,000,000 gallons of water per
day. That is enough water to cover over 110 acres with one foot of water.
With this type of water control, feed consumption can be controlled and
quality waterfowl hunting can be maintained throughout the season. The
pumps are also used to circulate water which delays freezing as long as
possible.” Mr. Pike adds: “our Crisafulli pumps look like
they came over on the Mayflower but mechanically they’re in pretty good shape.
It has been unusually cold in southern Illinois for the last month and we have
had to pump alot of water to keep open water around our hunting areas.
Our Crisafulli pumps have been working great.
I do appreciate Crisafulli taking the time to answer my questions. It is
nice to know that there are still some businesses around who believe in
providing excellent customer service. It is very apparent to me that your
company takes this very seriously.” ► Crisafulli takes pride in its long history of
