Duck Hunting on Florida’s Forgotten Coast

North Florida Duck Hunting

Experience duck hunting the way it was meant to be—wild, authentic, and unforgettable. Along Florida’s Forgotten Coast, we offer a truly unique pursuit where the landscape, weather, and migration patterns combine to create one of the most diverse and exciting waterfowl hunts in the country.

Whether you’re set up in a coffin blind, riding an airboat across shallow flats, hunting secluded ponds, or standing along the shoreline or timber edge, every hunt here feels different—and that’s exactly what makes it special.

The Experience

Our hunts are built around the natural movement of birds. Weather and conditions drive the action, and when it all comes together, the results are nothing short of spectacular. This is not a manufactured hunt—this is real, dynamic waterfowling that rewards patience, skill, and timing.

You’ll hunt a wide variety of species throughout the season, including:

  • Wood Ducks
  • Redheads
  • Pintails
  • Bluebills
  • Mergansers
  • Canvasbacks
  • Teal, including multiple species
  • Occasional Mallards and Geese when conditions align

No two days are the same—and that’s why guests come back year after year.

Guided by Experts

Our guides are seasoned professionals who know these waters intimately. From reading weather patterns to setting spreads and calling birds, they put you in the right position to succeed. Whether you’re an experienced hunter or new to waterfowl, they’ll tailor the hunt to ensure you get the most out of your time in the field.

Want to call your own birds? Bring your calls—we encourage participation. Prefer to sit back and enjoy the show? Our guides can handle the calling and bring the birds in close.

What Makes This Hunt Different

  • Diverse terrain: ponds, coastal flats, timber, and shoreline setups
  • Multiple hunting styles: airboats, duck boats, blinds, and walk-in hunts
  • Weather-driven action for an authentic experience
