I know, I know. This is way of topic but....

I have a 40 acre hunting spot in the MS delta. It consists off 20 acres in ten year old hardwood, 10 acres in old growth bottom-land cypress and oak, and ten acres in food plots and open field. This joins a 300 acre cypress and gum slough on one side, and one of the states elite duck clubs on the other side. One four acre plot has a levee and a drain allowing us to flood it for ducks in the fall and drain it to plant forage in the spring. We have always used natural flooding to fill the hole (rain), but am thinking about putting in a well to make sure we have water early in the season? What size well and pump would be needed to put a couple of feet of water on 4 acres in a reasonable time frame? How expensive would something like this be?

This is the spot I am talking about....
