What To Expect
The Big Outdoors also offers fully guided duck hunts in the rich marshes of Southeast Louisiana. We have approximately 3,000 acres of privately leased land in prime duck hunting habitat in Delacroix, Louisiana.
Ducks we commonly shoot
Blue and green winged Teal, Gadwall, mottled ducks, wigeon, redheads, pintail, shovelers, and the occasional mallards.
Our boats and guides
All hunts take place in fully equipped Gator Trax mud boats powered by Mud Buddy Hyper-Drive mud motors. Our mud boats all have fixed or pop up blinds that are naturally brushed to help conceal you and your guests while hunting.
You will be guided by one of our professional guides, who takes care of setting out decoys, calling birds, and getting you to and from our hunting locations.
Prepare For Your Louisiana Duck Hunt
- The day prior to your hunt, Capt. Britt will call and make arrangements for your hunt the next day.
- You will most likely drive to a boat launch to meet your captain. Boat launches can vary from a 2 minute drive to a 1 hour drive.
- Please arrive on time, ready to load yourself and your gear into our mud boats. Pack your gear the night before, not that morning at the launch. Time is critical!
- Once the mud boat is loaded with crew and gear, we depart in the dark to our hunting grounds, put out decoys and brush the mud boat for the hunt.
- Expect to hunt from daybreak to 9 or 10 AM. We try not to put a timeline on the hunt; it all depends on bird movement.
