What types of gadwall hunting trips are common?

How much does a gadwall hunting trip cost?

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.

    Dawson and his crew were great. They made sure that my son's first duck hunt was a awesome time and provided great customer service, not to mention a high-quality hunt.

    Andy was great. Very knowledgeable and personable. The effort he put in to make this early season hunt as successful as possible did not go unnoticed. We had fun and great conversations. I would definitely book again.

    Trip: Garwood TX Duck Hunts

  • ★★★★★
    I recently went duck hunting with Captain Jacob and had an excellent experience. He was professional, courteous, and easy to work with. When the weather forced us to reschedule at the last minute, he handled it without any issues, which made the whole process stress-free. The duck blind was clean and comfortable, and there were plenty of ducks flying overhead throughout the hunt. At the end of the day, Captain Jacob even cleaned and butchered the birds for us, which was a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a well-run guided hunt. I’m already planning to book with him again.
