The day will start with a wake-up call around 7:00 a.m., followed by a delicious breakfast served each morning to fuel your day of hunting.
For your convenience, we pack snacks to take with you, as most days you’ll enjoy field dining. However, depending on factors such as the time of year, tides, and weather conditions, there are occasions when we return to the house for lunch and a chance to warm up and regroup mid-day.
While some days may involve hunting until dark, our hunting schedule is primarily influenced by the tides rather than the specific time of day. We adapt our plans to optimize your hunting experience and maximize your chances of success.
To ensure compliance with federal migratory bird shipping regulations, all birds harvested during your hunt with Aleutian Island Waterfowlers will be properly tagged, labeled, packaged, and frozen. This ensures that you can transport them with ease and in accordance with applicable regulations.
