What types of duck hunting trips are common?

The most commonly sought after species for duck hunting are: 1. blue-winged teal, 2. wigeon, 3. green-winged teal, 4. northern pintail, and 5. gadwall.

How much does a duck hunting trip cost?

Prices duck hunting can range anywhere from about $500 to $8,325, but the average price for a half day trip duck hunting is $1,523. The average price for a full day trip duck hunting is $5,863.

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 duck hunting?

The most popular season for duck hunting is winter, and most hunters book their trips 58 days in advance.

    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.

    I recently had the pleasure of hunting with Captain Kyle, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, Captain Kyle was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about duck hunting. The setup was perfect, and he took care to make sure we were comfortable and prepared before heading out. Captain Kyle had an impressive understanding of the area, knowing exactly where to find ducks and when to call. To top it off, Captain Kyle was friendly and easygoing, making for great conversation and a genuinely enjoyable experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Captain Kyle to anyone looking for an outstanding guided duck hunt.

    The team was excellent and we had an hugely successful hunt. My husband and I booked this to celebrate our anniversary and although my husband has hunted a lot, this was my first time. The location we were taken to was great, the decoys and the blind were set up perfectly, and our guide (Jesse) was an EXCELLENT caller! NOTE: we were paired with two other hunters (which we were not expecting - and was not communicated beforehand) and although it worked out fine, just something to be aware of.

    I had a great time after he told me to park my car on the side of the road and it cost me $165 to get it towed out

    Trey makes it extremely straightforward for you to get out there. Even on a self-guided trip the decoys are already set up, the blind is brushed, and the Trey is waiting at the ramp in the boat to take you to the blind and pick you up at the end of your hunt. Couldn’t be easier.

    Dave took my 8 year old son and I out and we had a great time! He did a good job putting us on some ducks despite less than ideal conditions and even less than ideal shooting by me! Already looking forward to getting back out with him later in the season. See you soon, Dave! -Joe D.
