Duck and Goose Hunting at Double P Ranch

Double P Ranch offers an exceptional duck and goose hunting experience for both seasoned hunters and newcomers. Whether hunting in the field or over water, guests can expect thrilling opportunities to target a variety of waterfowl species. Our guests frequently harvest limits of ducks, including mallards, pintails, canvasbacks, redheads, wood ducks, and giant Canada geese.

Out-of-State Licenses: A Lottery Draw System Out-of-state hunters must enter a lottery to obtain waterfowl licenses. The success rate for securing a 10-day license has averaged around 65% over the past few years. Groups of up to six can apply together, increasing the chances of at least one person in the group drawing a tag. Guests who apply annually can expect to draw a license approximately every other year.

Guests have access to decoys, duck boats, and layout blinds. Our knowledgeable guides assist in directing hunters to productive hunting spots in and around the lodge. Please note that our guides are unable to assist with hunts on public land.

Guided Waterfowl Hunts Many of our guests choose to hire a waterfowl guide for one or two days to maximize their experience. Guided hunts are a luxurious option, with guides extensively scouting prime hunting locations prior to each day's outing. The rate for guided hunts is approximately $250 per guest per day for parties of four. These guided experiences often result in higher success rates and unforgettable memories.

What to Expect

A Typical Guided Duck Hunt at Double P Ranch

A guided duck hunt at Double P Ranch begins with the anticipation of a well-planned and expertly scouted experience. The day starts early, as your guide meets you before dawn to discuss the plan for the hunt, review safety guidelines, and answer any last-minute questions.

Your guide will have already scouted the best locations, selecting a prime spot based on waterfowl activity, weather conditions, and migration patterns. Depending on the plan, you might hunt over water on a secluded pond, lake, or marsh, or set up in a field where ducks are known to feed.
