Birdtail Waterfowl is surrounded by vast agriculture, potholes, big lakes, mixed forests, and rolling hills. The hunting environment offers opportunities to be positioned in anything from flat pea fields, forested barley fields, or big marshes. We go where the birds are. The Prairie Pothole Region is a dynamic ecosystem that creates new experiences every day. This habitat-rich area reveals a lot of sights and sounds that you won’t see anywhere else in the world. The sheer number of migrating waterfowl species is worth the price of admission. Constant engagement with pre-trip organization, travel logistics, blind and decoy set-ups, calling, approaching flocks, and bird retrieval keeps everyone connected to their passion. Every hunt is unique, which often creates a variable of positive unknowns and exceeded expectations.
3 Day Hunt: $2,700 USD per person
4 Day Hunt: $3,750 USD per person
