Leaf's Texas duck hunting trips are fun and offer several benefits, and provide a mentally stimulating challenge to hunters as well. Duck hunting can range in difficulty but oftentimes can pose quite a challenge. Waterfowlers need to be deceptive with decoys, stay patient, and account for factors such as wind and migration patterns. Duck hunting prevents overpopulation, and in turn, preserves native biodiversity.

A mere few hours in nature help you not only escape our digital world—but also let you alleviate stress in a positive way. Getting away from the ordinary provides an important refresher for your body and mind! All the decoys, blinds, and transportation are taken care of on the trips, all you need to bring with you is your shotgun (12 gauge recommended), steel shot shells, and waders. Leaf and his team will take care of the rest! Read More

    Had a blast with Captain Andy. We limited out and he was very helpful and informative to two new waterfowl hunters.

    Stephan W. with Andrew S. of College Station, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    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.

    Michael is a fantastic guide, he was very knowledgeable about all things outdoors and specifically taught us about the Florida ecosystem. This iguana trip was very fun and would absolutely recommend to anyone. Michael also has a ton of other adventures in the South Florida area!

    Dylan B. with Heath B. of Port Aransas, Texas

    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.

    Attison B. with Trey C. of Port Aransas, Texas

    they tried. very friendly

    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.

    Joe D. with David R. of Baytown, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Such a fun trip! Captain Mike was such a fun guide and knew the animal we were after. He had experience and wonderful equipment! We will 100% be back to go again. One of the most fun hunting experiences I've been on. Even my wife agreed

    Mike M. with Michael O. of Plantation, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Michael did a great job educating us on the particulars of iguana hunting, then getting our group right into the fray. He knew the area very well and was able to take us to some great locations. Captain Michael was well-prepared with all the gear we needed, and made sure we kept the guns loaded. He went above and beyond the call of duty to help us bring down a monster at the end of our time. Having Scout assist with the retrieval added to the experience. It would be difficult to replicate the experience on our own without the help of our guide. It was a great day out on the water with Captain Michael. Highly recommended!

    Jeremy B. with Michael O. of Plantation, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Outstanding hunt with a knowledgeable guide! I highly recommend Andy for your next Texas duck hunt!

    Christopher M. with Andrew S. of College Station, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    I HIGHLY recommend Captain Andy for his excellent guiding skills and can-do attitude. Unlike many other Guides, he works with a network of other spotters who watch for birds all across the state. He left his home at midnight and arrived at our shooting location at 1 AM to make sure other eager hunters wouldn't grab his spot. The result was an excellent hunt of mixed bag ducks, sprinkled with humor and education about wingspotting. Five stars is not enough for this Coast Guard certified gent.

    Brooks B. with Andrew S. of College Station, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    I had an absolutely great experience on this trip! Dave went to great lengths to prepare for the trip and make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. He is a very experienced hunter and got me on a bunch of great shots. He’s got a great boat and access to a bunch of secluded spots. Despite hot weather during early season, we still bagged a few ducks and Dave cleaned them for me at the boat launch. Highly recommend!

    Kevin S. with David R. of Baytown, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Michael was a hell of a guide! we had a blast!! He was extremely knowledgeable about what we were hunting and fishing for and made sure we got what we came for. Scout was one hell of a retriever and made sure we got what we killed. I recommend this trip to anyone that wants to have fun and spend the day out in nature.
