Guided Maryland Eastern Shore Diver Duck Hunting

We have miles of pristine waterfront that is prime diver habitat. We are one of the few, if not the only outfitter to utilize private locations for our diver duck hunts. We do not depend on the less productive public gunning rig zones. Instead we are able to put your group right in the most productive areas and right in the flyway of the more popular divers. Our ducks arrive In good numbers the last two weeks of October and we start hunting our hunts the 1st of November to ensure good shooting right from the start. Enjoy fast shooting as our Bluebill, Bufflehead, Ruddy’s and Seaducks are the first to arrive. Canvasback and Goldeneye in December and early Januaray with Mergansers adding an additional trophy as well. We use large private permanant shore and offshore blinds, large 24′ floating blinds with 16′ boxes. As well as hunting boats ranging from 20 to 28 feet. lt Is not uncommon to for your group to fire up to a case of gunshells as these birds do there daily ritual of trading from the river out into there feeding grounds to the many mussel, clam, and oyster beds that are abound in the bay. Our hunts are completely customized to your desires. We have hunts for those just new to the sport, to those who are die hard expierenced waterfowl hunters. Whether it be your are out for a day of fun or are after that elusive trophy bird. We can put you with one of our highly experienced guides or your group can hunt in the blinds alone while we retrieve your downed birds from one of our tenderboots. Shots are decoying with most ranging from 25-30 yards yet we recommend BB’s to cut down on cripples. Also enjoy our traditional hunting style as we use longlines and mix up hand carved Chesapeake Bay wooden decoys from a wide variety of carvers. Some hunters elect to purchase some of the decoys they have shot over. Hope to see you in the blind for your next Chesapeake Bay diver hunt. Diver hunting is a fun and existing hunt with plenty of action.
