The success rate for the last couple of years has averaged around 65% for the 10-day license. Up to six can apply as a group. Guests that do draw tags often experience a once-in-a-lifetime waterfowl experience especially on guided hunts. It is not uncommon for our guests to shoot limits of ducks including: Mallards, pintails, canvasbacks, redheads, wood ducks, and giant Canada geese. Guests can expect to draw tags at least every other year when applying every year.
Self-guided waterfowl hunting at Double P Ranch: We provide decoys, duck boats, and layout blinds for our guests to use. The Double P guides will assist the groups to spots in and around the lodge. Our guides are NOT able to help with guests hunting on any public areas.
Guided Waterfowl hunts: Most of our guests hire a waterfowl guide for a day or two. The luxury of a guided hunt is the guide scouts extensively prior to each day's hunt. The rate for guided hunts averages around $150/day/guest based on a party of four.
The $395/day rate includes:
$300 deposit per hunter. Deposits are non-refundable. If you cannot come at the time of your reservation, you may come at another available date in that season. Deposits cannot be carried over to the following fall. If fewer hunters arrive than scheduled, the remainder of the deposit will not be applied as payment toward your final bill.
