Hunt Lowdown

Picture this: You and three of your hunting buddies, hunkered down in a stealthy rig, right in the heart of prime duck territory on Lake Erie. This setup is tailor-made for those hefty ducks that'll make your buddies back home green with envy. We're talking Mallards, Pintails, and other bruisers that'll put your shooting skills to the test. Captain Ken knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you'll be in the thick of the action from the get-go. Whether you're a seasoned pro or still getting your feet wet in the duck hunting game, this trip is gonna deliver the goods.

Blind Basics & Blasting Tips

Let's talk shop about the hide you'll be working from. This rig is the real deal – it's like the waterfowl equivalent of a ghillie suit. You'll be tucked away so well, those ducks won't know what hit 'em until it's too late. The setup is perfect for those big ducks that tend to be a bit more cautious. Here's a pro tip: when you're in the blind, keep your movements slow and your chatter low. Those big boys have sharp eyes and even sharper ears. As for gear, make sure you're packing some heavy loads – these Lake Erie ducks can soak up shot like a sponge. And don't forget to brush up on your calling skills – a well-timed quack can make all the difference between a full bag and going home empty-handed.

Target Fowl Rundown

Alright, let's break down the heavy hitters you'll be aiming for on this Lake Erie duck hunt. First up, the Mallard – the bread and butter of duck hunting. These green-headed beauties are like the supermodels of the duck world, weighing in at a solid 2.5 to 3 pounds. They're crafty flyers, so lead 'em well and watch for that classic cupped-wing descent. Best time to bag 'em? Late fall when the northern birds push down.

Next, we've got the Northern Pintail. These long-necked elegants are a trophy in any hunter's book. They're fast and agile, often called the "greyhounds of the air." Pintails are usually a bit lighter than Mallards, but what they lack in heft, they make up for in style. They love to hang out in shallow waters, so keep your eyes peeled on those calm spots. Early season is your best bet for Pintails before they push further south.

Don't sleep on the Gadwall, either. These "gray ducks" might not be as flashy as their cousins, but they're no pushovers. They're about the same size as Mallards and often mixed in with other puddle ducks. Gadwalls are late migrants, so you've got a good shot at them well into the season. They're also known for their tendency to circle back after being spooked, so stay ready even after you think the show's over.

Last but not least, keep your eyes peeled for Canvasbacks. These diving ducks are the heavyweight champs of the duck world, with drakes tipping the scales at up to 3.5 pounds. They're fast flyers and tough as nails, often taking more than one well-placed shot to bring down. Canvasbacks love deep, open water, so you might spot them further out on Lake Erie. Mid to late season is prime time for these redheaded rockets.

Seal the Deal

Listen up, waterfowlers – this Lake Erie big duck hunt with Captain Ken's Wild Wings is the real McCoy.
