About Your Trip

Head out for some fast and furious early-morning action chasing ducks down in the Rio Grande Valley!

Your guide and outfitter, Joshua, will provide all the scouting, decoys, transportation, blind setups, and calling for your morning hunt. Whether you're an experienced duck hunter or just getting into the sport, this duck hunt will be a real "blast" for anyone—pardon the pun.

Texas is a great place for waterfowl hunting. It's smack in the middle of
the Central Flyway, and is a stopover for dozens of migratory waterfowl species. With species including Teals, Wigeons, Gadwalls, Pintails, Mottled Ducks, and more, there's plenty of targets for any hunter.

All you need to bring is your own shotguns, shells, camoflauge, and waders. You will also need your Texas hunting license and a federal duckstamp as well.

This trip is super kid friendly as well as disability friendly. Joshua loves working with kids and introducing them to the sport and all his blinds are easily accessible and comfortable

About Your Guide

Joshua L.

Independent Guide
If you're looking for an authentic South Texas hunting and fishing experience, Joshua is your guy. A seasoned tournament angler and expert on Falcon Lake, Joshua brings serious skill to the water—whether you’re targeting trophy Gar or casting for bass. But his passion doesn’t stop at fishing—he’s equally at home guiding waterfowl hunts across the Rio Grande Valley.

Born and raised in the area, Joshua established his outfitting operation in 2021 with one goal: to create a flexible, rewarding, and
down-to-earth experience for every client. Whether you're hunting public or private land, he’s all about staying mobile and going where the birds are. His philosophy is simple—hunting is hunting. Some days you limit out, other days you don’t—but every trip brings its own stories, surprises, and moments that stick with you.

Joshua strives to make every outing hands-on, educational, and real. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned hunter, he’s all about sharing knowledge, learning from others, and forming lasting bonds with the people he meets along the way. Over time, many of his clients don’t just return—they become family.

That family spirit is woven into every trip. Joshua’s own family plays an active role in supporting the operation, and two of the hardest-working team members are Moose and Goose—his loyal Labrador retrievers who love nothing more than tracking down your game and wagging their tails with pride. Watching them work is often a highlight of the day, especially for first-time hunters and kids.

If you’re looking for more than just a hunt or a day on the water—if you're looking for real connection, local knowledge, and an experience that feels like home—you’ll find it with Joshua. Come for the outdoors, stay for the camaraderie. You’ll leave with stories, smiles, and maybe even a few new traditions.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
