We hunt trophy sea ducks from our Kodiak wilderness ocean-front house on Ugak Bay, Kodiak Island, and is only accessible by boat or plane. We can literally hunt trophy sea ducks a few steps from our front door. We transport hunters 15 minutes away to nearby bays, islands, and rocky points to target trophy sea ducks. Each day you will begin with a hearty breakfast, then we’re off to transport you by boat to a full day of hunting.
 
Sea duck hunting on Kodiak Island is primarily done over decoys from shore blinds, over decoys in the blind boats or by spot and stalk methods.  We are primarily hunting on saltwater, where the shoreline is constantly changing with the tides and gives us countless locations to setup for a shoot.
 
Your guide will help retrieve your birds that are out of reach, each group of hunters is given a radio to contact the guide when a bird is down and needs to be retrieved if the hunter cannot reach down birds.
 
A trip to Kodiak for trophy sea ducks is an adventure that will last in your memory forever.  We typically offer trophy sea duck hunts as a combination with the Sitka Black-tailed deer hunts, as this can make for a fantastic hunting adventure.
