When you're ready to experience duck hunting the way it should be done, our deluxe package in Southern Louisiana delivers everything a serious waterfowler dreams about. This isn't your basic dawn-to-dusk hunt – we're talking about a full-service hunting experience that combines world-class shooting opportunities with premium accommodations and Southern hospitality that'll keep you coming back season after season. At $600 per person with a two-person minimum, you get deluxe lodging, authentic Louisiana cuisine, and an open bar stocked with top-shelf spirits. We handle the details so you can focus on what matters: putting birds in the bag.
Your hunting adventure starts the evening before when you settle into comfortable lodge accommodations and enjoy dinner with fellow hunters. The open bar featuring premium liquors, wine, and beer sets the perfect tone for swapping hunting stories and getting pumped for the morning hunt. After a hearty Southern breakfast that'll fuel you through the morning, our experienced guides transport you to productive hunting areas where we've scouted bird activity. We time everything to have you in position and ready when legal shooting hours begin – no rushing, no missed opportunities. The morning hunt typically runs until mid-morning when bird movement slows, then we head back to the lodge where a hot lunch awaits while our team processes your harvest. This customer-favorite approach means you spend maximum time in prime shooting situations without worrying about logistics.
Southern Louisiana's marshlands and flooded timber provide some of the continent's best waterfowl habitat, and we know how to work these areas effectively. Our guides scout daily to identify where ducks are feeding, roosting, and traveling, then position blinds accordingly. We use a mix of permanent pit blinds in agricultural fields and portable layouts in marsh areas, depending on current conditions and bird patterns. Decoy spreads vary based on species and weather – from tight mallard spreads in flooded timber to large mixed spreads in open water. Calling strategies adjust throughout the season as birds become more educated. Early season allows for aggressive calling to work distant flocks, while late season requires subtle work on committed birds. Our guides read wind, weather, and bird behavior to position you for optimal shooting angles. Most hunting occurs in chest-deep waders through shallow marsh, though some field hunting involves dry ground setups. We provide detailed pre-hunt briefings on shooting lanes, safety zones, and when to take shots for clean harvests.
Mallards form the backbone of Louisiana duck hunting, with peak numbers arriving from November through January when cold fronts push birds south from northern breeding grounds. These large, vocal ducks respond well to calling and provide exciting action as they work decoy spreads in small groups or large flocks. Drakes in full breeding plumage make impressive trophies, while hens offer excellent table fare. Pintails arrive earlier in the season, typically peaking in December, and challenge hunters with their wariness and tendency to flare from decoys at the slightest movement. Their sleek profile and speed make them a prized species among waterfowlers. Teal – both blue-wing and green-wing – offer fast-paced shooting opportunities, especially during early season when blue-wings migrate through in September. Ring-necked ducks and lesser scaup provide diving duck action in deeper marsh areas, often arriving in large rafts that create spectacular shooting when they commit to the spread. Gadwall, wigeon, and shovelers round out common species, each presenting unique hunting challenges based on their feeding habits and flight patterns. Late-season hunting often produces canvasback and redheads, premium table fare that caps off successful hunts.
This deluxe hunting package represents the gold standard for Louisiana waterfowl experiences, combining renowned hunting grounds with luxury amenities that make every aspect memorable. From the moment you arrive until you head home with processed birds, we handle every detail professionally. The all-inclusive approach – lodging, meals, bar service, and guide expertise – delivers exceptional value for serious hunters who appreciate quality. Southern Louisiana's position along the Mississippi Flyway ensures consistent bird numbers throughout the season, while our local knowledge and daily scouting put you on active birds.
