A Typical Day

Our days start early - often we meet before 5am and begin the treck to the blinds. Whether we're hunting from one of our stake blinds or using the boat blind, once we reach our location you are clear to enjoy some good coffee and sweetrolls while Scott and I get to the decoys. You can chose to take it easy while we get prepared for shooting light or help with the decoys - the extent of your involvement with the morning preparations is fully up to you. Once the decoys are out, a few last minute preparations will be made to the blind and it will almost be time for legal shooting light.

As you load up and watch the sunrise creep over the marsh, the anticipation of the first birds looms. One of the greatest things about duck hunting is that the first hour is often the best shooting of the day. There is no limit to what may work the decoys - black ducks, teal, gadwall, pintails, huge groups of bluebills or redheads...you name it, we may see it. As the morning progresses and the first crazy hours pass, the sea duck hunting usually improves. Sea ducks (or scotters) are a real challenge to shoot - they usually come in small groups flying less than three feet above the surface of the water. If the wind is at their back they'll reach the air-speed of a teal!

Once mid-morning comes around, it's time for our world-class blind lunch. We break out the grills and it goes from there - eggs and filet-mignon in the blind. Often lunch time brings about the end of the day, but we ask all our clients to be prepared for a longer day, if necessary. Rain may delay the flight of the birds or winds may prevent us from getting to our prefered locations early - so allow for a flexible schedule.


Whether you hunt with either myself or Scott, we hope to pass on to you our love of waterfowl hunting and our sense of conservation. Simply put - be prepared for a hunt that you'll never forget.
