COMMENTS: This is a historic, classic, Butte Sink duck club that currently operates as an LLC with 18 member/owners. Most duck clubs have outrageous yearly dues, but thats not the case at the Roseville. In a typical year, the LLC will pay a dividend from the rice crop proceeds, and yearly dues are only $100.

This club gives a whole new meaning to first-class and you will be impressed with the laser-leveled, high yielding rice fields and awesome native marshland habitat that borders the Gray Lodge Sanctuary. After the rice harvest, the Roseville becomes a magnet for sanctuary waterfowl, which enjoy the lush food provided by the flooded fields. The rice fields, along with the awesome wetland habitat, are rarely offered in the majority of the Butte Sink clubs.

Now you know the secret of this clubs awesome success!
