Benson, Vermont
1-4 Hunters • No Lodging • Private • Guided
Description
Spend a morning or afternoon chasing ducks and geese in the Champlain Valley with a fully guided, customizable waterfowl hunt built around your group and the conditions of the day.
Whether you're a seasoned waterfowl hunter looking for a new piece of country or you're bringing someone along for their first hunt, each trip can be tailored to your experience level, preferred hunting style, and the conditions we find in the field.
Hunt Your Way
Choose between boat-based or on-shore hunting, depending on conditions and what makes the most sense for your hunt.
For boat hunts, you'll hunt from The Nauti Storm, a 20-foot SeaArk rigged specifically for waterfowl hunting. The boat features a heated waterfowl blind, giving your group a comfortable and effective setup even when Vermont's weather turns cold.
The boat accommodates up to 4 hunters, making it a great option for hunting with family, friends, or a small group.
On-shore hunts offer another way to experience the Champlain Valley and can be customized around the day's conditions and your group's goals.
A Hunt Built Around Your Group
No two days in the field are exactly alike. That's why these hunts are fully customizable.
We'll work with you to build the experience around your group, whether you're looking to spend a half day in the field, introduce a new hunter to waterfowl hunting, or simply get out and chase birds in some of Vermont's beautiful Champlain Valley country.
Expect a hands-on guided experience, straightforward communication, and a hunt focused on making the most of the time you have in the field.
Base price includes a 4-hour guided hunt.
Morning and afternoon hunts are available.
Up to 4 hunters by boat.
Come prepared to hunt, and we'll take care of the rest.
