Minnesota Duck Hunting Guides
We’re located in the heart of the Prairie Pothole Region on the western tip of Minnesota, bordering North and South Dakota between the edges of both the Central and Mississippi Flyways. We both own and manage all of our duck sloughs that we hunt in so we are able to control water levels to keep them at optimum depths, promote food growth, and nesting areas with great cover.
During the entire duck season, we change locations throughout the different sloughs, potholes, lakes and blinds as well as our techniques and decoy spreads along with the migrating birds to ensure the best hunting experience.
We’ll do all the work so you can relax and focus on hunting. This includes scouting, setting up decoys, and transportation to and from the best hunting locations.
