FAQ

Where will we be hunting?

  Most of our fields border the Oak Hammock Refuge, which should be dry stubble fields. We will either be in concrete pits, or lay down blinds with magnum and full body decoys.
 
FAQ

What will we be hunting?

  Mainly Canada Geese, over large magnum, and full body decoys. Ducks are also taken out in the field. Snow Geese migrate through the Interlake area, but we don't set up for them. Every year some are taken just from flying over checking out the decoy spread.
 
FAQ

Who will we be hunting with?

  You will be hunting on at least a quarter section of land - your group with a guide. We strictly decoy the birds in, no pass shooting or firing lines.
 
FAQ

When do we hunt? What's the routine?

  The first three weeks of the season are mornings only for geese. We set up decoys every morning, hunt and then pack them up. We start a good hour or so before sunrise. The morning flight usually lasts a couple of hours and we're usually done well before noon. Afternoons will be for duck hunting - usually three hours or so before dusk.

  With past guests, usually one of the three days is either spent duck hunting in the afternoon A tour of the Ducks Unlimited Headquarters is a must for first timers. Also, just relaxing after an early morning hunt is a favorite.
