Finding A Guided Duck Hunt That Doesn't Rip You Off

 

You spent a ton of time looking for a guided duck hunt. You saved all the money looking for a solid, dependable duck hunting outfitter. You looked forward to it all year, even to the point of sharing your duck hunting pictures on Facebook about how you couldn’t wait to go on your upcoming guided hunting trip.

Hunting season finally gets here and you head out for the biggest hunt of your waterfowl season, all the time knowing that you’re going to stomp the mallards because, after all, your waterfowl outfitter has picture after picture showcasing stacks of greenheads.

The lodge was outdated, and the bedrooms were not what you saw on the website.
Three days later you know full well why the ducks didn’t fly. All you saw in the duck hole were thousands of floating shells, telling you that hole had been hunted every day since the open day of duck season.

Three days later you realize, just by the way the guide was talking, that the waterfowl outfitter runs hundreds of hunters through that lodge every month.

Are any of these situations a crime? No. Of course not, and if there’s one thing no outfitter can do, it makes ducks fly.
