Oklahoma duck hunting is probably
American's best kept waterfowling secret and only recently has
gained recognition for its abundance of overwintering mallards.
Located in southwestern Oklahoma, well within a couple hours drive
of Will Rogers International Airport in Oklahoma City, this
affordable package delivers fast action for decoying mallards and
other ducks in Oklahoma's famous peanut fields. The small
hunting camp atmosphere is perfect for small groups of friends and
family, minimum 4 hunters.
Location, location, location - intense scouting and years of
relationship building ensures the right places to duck hunt in
Southwestern Oklahoma. Specialized in dry land duck hunting,
to include Oklahoma's famous peanut fields, decoying ducks are
also hunted over small, productive bodies of water too.
Hunts are conducted on 100% private property.
Flood control lakes, rivers, sloughs and ponds are the sites
for water sets. Dry land hunting is on peanut fields, milo fields,
wheat fields and other grain crops.
Typical 3-day packages consist of 3
morning hunts and 2 afternoon hunts. Afternoon duck hunting
in Oklahoma can be especially magical as swarms of hungry,
circling mallards form large funnels and ascend into the field
like a tornado. Packing for this Oklahoma duck hunt is as
simple as the usual stuff - warm waders and layers for near
freezing temps at daylight warming through the day, your favorite
shotguns choked IC or LM for decoying birds, and 3-inch steel 2s or
3s.
Oklahoma duck hunting is so good because unlike other well-known
duck hunting destinations, ducks are not found in huntable numbers
throughout the state and local hunting pressure in nearly
nonexistent. Here in Oklahoma, ducks are highly concentrated
in very productive areas that have the right combination of
abundant agricultural food and water.
Personal service, great private property and excellent scouting
are the hallmarks of this operation. Benefit from over 15 years of
the right experience in the right part of the world; let our
Oklahoma duck hunting outfitter put you on the X and produce the
duck hunt of a lifetime for your group.
