HDC 2010 for Team Connor
2009 NY Waterfowl Hunt
Where: Western or Northern, New York
When: 2009 Season
Hosts: The Game Hogg Hunt Club (with specific hosts - Dave Rearick, Mike Bard, Erik Nilsson & Ron Zega)
Notes: You are bidding on a 2 man, 1 day waterfowl hunt that will take place in Western or Northern, New York with your hosts the Game Hogg Hunt Club. We will customize a full day waterfowl hunt for you and a guest based on your preferences and the time of season you select. There are opportunities for Canada geese and a variety of both puddle and diver ducks migrating through New York.
It will be your choice to chase the thousands of Canada geese migrating through in a harvested corn field over GHG® Fully Flocked decoys, while laying in Avery® layout blinds or hitting one of the many bodies of water located in New York to hunt from a 20’ boat with custom built blind over dozens of GHG® duck and/or goose decoys. If interested and weather permits, a layout boat hunt targeting divers in a 2 man traditional layout boat can also be had. We do have a limited number of areas that offer combination hunts for ducks and geese at certain points in the season as well.
Common puddle duck species harvested include mallards, black ducks, green wing teal, wood ducks and widgeon.
Common diver duck species harvested include blue bills, goldeneye, bufflehead, and red heads. There are rare opportunities for scoter and oldsquaw on open water hunts.
Accommodations: There are many local hotels/motels in the area and your hosts will be happy to assist you in locating one to fit your needs.
Equipment needed: Layered clothing to handle all weather conditions. It is important to keep bulky clothing to a minimum, and wear as many layers as possible to strip off through the day if needed. Chest waders are strongly recommended, but not 100% necessary. Warm and waterproof gloves are good to have, along with a spare pair. 12 or 20 Ga. shotguns should be choked IC or Mod, w/ BB thru 4 shot depending on the species we decide to target. A box of shells is recommended for the day’s hunt.
New York State Small Game Licenses, a NY HIP number and federal duck stamp are needed, but not included in the package. Your hosts will assist you in acquiring all necessary licenses for the trip.
