What types of canvasback hunting trips are common?

Duck hunting is the most popular type of hunting for canvasback as well as goose hunting, upland hunting, and dove hunting.

How much does a canvasback hunting trip cost?

Prices for canvasback can range anywhere from about $591 to $10,620, but the average price for a half day trip for canvasback is $1,423. The average price for a full day trip for canvasback is $6,424.

Is booking a hunting guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a hunting guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced hunting guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is outside every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your backyard, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for canvasback hunting?

The most popular season for canvasback hunting is winter, and most hunters book their trips 73 days in advance.

    Jacob is the man. We showed up and he was ready to rock. Boat was super clean, seats already set up, etc. We got to the blind and started shooting quickly and shot most of our three limits in ones and twos in the next two hours. We got skunked the day before in the same area without Jacob so we could appreciate each and every one of those birds. Would highly recommend.

    Trip: Central Texas Ducks

  • ★★★★★
    Tough day on the water but was grateful for the effort Clayton put in. He scouted for days before the trip and unfortunately the birds just werent down yet, but he gave us every chance we could get for the birds that were around. Looking forward to hunting with him again in a week or two when more birds are down in central TX.
