The mallard is one of the most recognized of all ducks and is the ancestor of several domestic breeds. It’s also one of the ducks frequently being called into our decoys by Eastern Washington State Guides. Have you ever hunted in a tornado of ducks? The drake mallard's white neck-ring separates the green head from the chestnut-brown chest, contrasts with the gray sides, brownish back, black rump, and black upper- and under-tail coverts. The speculum is violet-blue bordered by black and white, and the outer tail feathers are white. The bill is yellow to yellowish-green and the legs and feet are coral-red. There’s something about the colors found in the eastern Washington mallard drakes our guides and clients love. Maybe it’s a belly full of corn, our guides regularly find duck stomachs stuffed with corn from adjacent fields! The greenheads on males are strong visual ID indicators. We recommend looking for ‘green heads’ during your shot selection and decision-making process to ensure more drakes than hens are taken. Washington State Regulations allow for 5 mallard drakes and 2 hens to be harvested daily. Learn more about Where We Hunt > https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/502d0b61-81d8-403b-aa12-818ad941d2d8/Eastern-Washington-Guides-SingleGooseLanding.jpg What We Hunt & Fish - Canada Goose Depending on which Eastern Washington guide you ask, they’ll each have a favorite waterfowl species to hunt. The majority of our guides love calling in honkers over agriculture but also get plenty over water. Yes, we’ll get them to land in your face! Both sexes of Canada geese have a black head and neck except for broad white cheek patches extending from the throat to the rear of the eye. The geese in Eastern Washington are generally fatty’s, exhibiting their well-known characteristic “honking” call. Casually, male geese are often referred to as ‘honkers’, female lessors are referred to as ‘cacklers’; no, we didn’t come up with that reference but do have a growing lingo library by our guides. We are equal opportunity harvesters of male and female Canadian geese, always following Washington State DFW Regulations. In addition to getting big, Canada geese also can live a long time. One banded giant goose was recorded at 30 years and 4 months; holding the record for waterfowl. Congrats to that smart ol’ goose! We hope the dumb ones are headed to Moses Lake! Did you know two of the Eastern Washington Guides finished in the top 5 of the 2021 World Goose calling championships? Meet our guides! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/fa61e8ab-24b3-42bf-9d45-a549a6e1d2a4/Eastern_Washington_Guides_SnowGoose_Stock_CloseUp.jpeg What We Hunt & Fish - Snow Goose Greater snow geese are grubbers, feeding on roots, rhizomes, and shoots of bulrushes and salt-marsh cordgrass. They also make extensive use of agricultural fields found adjacent to wintering areas in the greater Moses Lake Area, particularly around the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. Over the past few years, the numbers of Snow Geese coming off the Refuge have exploded. Eastern Washington is seeing our best snow goose numbers ever in 2021-2022, we expected them to improve. Lesser snow geese have two color phases: a dark (blue) plumage and a white (snow) plumage. The sexes are similar in appearance in both phases, but the female is often smaller. Snow geese are very vocal and can often be heard from more than a mile away. Our guides often will set up a large spread with a handful of air-powered windsocks mixed in, along with calling to decoy large sheets of snow geese. Snow goose hunts in Eastern Washington are ridiculously fun! A few years ago most waterfowlers would’ve never considered it.

Washington State DFW regulations daily bag limit is two. This makes species identification important! Our guides do our best to call out “Pennies” so be sure to identify your duck before shooting! Northern Pintails are distinguished by their long black pointed tail, brown head with white stripes coming up from the neck, around the back of their heads. Their long necks and tail give them a larger profile than a Mallard however Pintails typically have smaller bodies, slightly less breast meat. In-flight drakes have iridescent steel green wing patches bordered with light bands. Hens have a duller wing patch bordered with light bands. Pintails are extremely fast fliers, fond of zig-zagging from great heights before leveling off to land. Seeing our Eastern Washington Pintails likely with a belly full of corn is extremely fun to see committed to a decoy spread; sometimes it appears they’re dive-bombing to land.

Male green-winged teal has a gorgeous reddish-chestnut head with an iridescent green to purple patch extending from the eyes to the nape of the neck. Teals are a part of your total daily bag limit. The smallest and one of the most common of our ducks. Their tiny size gives the impression of great speed, but mallards can fly faster. The Teals flight is often low, erratic, with the entire flock twisting and turning as one unit.

They have an iridescent green speculum, which is separated from a bluish shoulder patch by a white stripe. The back, rump, upper tail coverts, and tail are a dull brown and the under-tail coverts are black. They have a distinctive red eye, a black bill and yellow legs and feet. Female cinnamon teal is often confused with female blue-winged teal. They have a duller blue shoulder patch, an overall rustier color, and are more heavily streaked. We don’t see many Cinnamon teal in Eastern Washington, maybe because they’re faster flyers than their Green-Winged cousins? We make no judgments. Cinnamon teals also fly faster than Mallards, often low, erratic, with the entire flock twisting and turning as one unit.

We love when Widgeon are flying! A good number of the privately-leased property available exclusively to Eastern Washington Guides are cattle farms. The combination of moist-soil wetlands and access to agricultural food during winter keep an abundance of Widgeon in the greater Columbia Basin and Moses Lake areas to hunt.

The male's bright russet-red head, topped with a cream stripe, and its gray back and sides, distinguish it from its American cousin. Females of the two species are so similar that separation in the field is unreliable. However, adult female Eurasian wigeons have two color phases: gray and red. We don’t get many Eurasian Widgeon around Moses Lake so they’re kinda rare. When we do, it’s early season and in the company of American Widgeon. The males have a bright rusty-reddish head with cream stripe and gray back are clearly distinguished from their Widgeon cousin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/b820e502-4cdf-48a0-9a0c-06fd3c164038/Eastern_Washington_Guides_Wood+Duck_Drake_Hen.jpeg What We Hunt & Fish - Wood Duck Arguably the most ornamental of the resident and migratory ducks around Moses Lake. Male wood ducks have a slicked back head, iridescently popping in green and purple with a white stripe framing its head from eye to crest. Female wood ducks have a gray-brown head and neck with a brownish, green, glossed crest. A white teardrop-shaped patch surrounds the brownish-black eye. The female touches of iridescent green of their own with a light shimmer of it on their back. Our guided hunts find wood ducks most commonly during the early season however we get them all year depending on the weather. A collection of our guides on the other side of the “which duck breast tastes the best” debate are big fans of wood duck breasts as the tastiest of the fowl.

If booking through this website, you should’ve received reminder email notifications with all pertinent day-of-trip details. It’s likely your guide will also be in communication with you by SMS or phone. If not, please fill out the form on our contact us page or call Aaron. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/d7ec9081-734c-4c1b-9e8b-797743e5330d/Eastern_Washington_Guides_Duck_Kabobs.jpg Plan Your Trip - Snacks, Lunch, Drinks Don’t count out duck kabobs during one of our epic quacker hunts so, consider it a surprise when it happens. Please bring your own snacks, lunch, and refreshments. If we’ve not limited by lunch, expect to eat yours in the blind. Plan on 6-7 hours or more in the blind or boat please pack snacks and refreshments accordingly. BEING GOOD STEWARDS OF THE OUTDOORS Please pack out what you pack in. All land, private or public deserves to be left better than we found it. All wrappers, wads, spent shells, and garbage, in general, should be packed out or put in the garbage pail provided during clean-up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/8472ce46-dd18-44e3-980d-800edd3ea43c/Eastern_Washington_Guides_Photocredit_david-leveque-21-lfJcLMVw-unsplash.jpg Plan Your Trip - Ammo, Shotguns, Licenses Ammo - Your expected shot range will vary a little between 10-40 yards, depending on the species hunted. For example, doves or pigeons, you might want a 12 gauge or 20 gauge shotgun with shot sizes of 5-8 in your bag. On the other hand, a safe bet for ducks is shot size #4 up to BB and for geese, shot size #2 up to BBB. We recommend 3 boxes per day for waterfowl. Our guides carry extra boxes of ammo in their vehicles just in case that was the “one thing left at home.” Given the volatility of pricing, boxes are resold at whatever we paid for them. Shotgun - Which shotgun you bring on your trip with us mostly comes down to personal preference. A 20-gauge, 16-gauge, or 12-gauge pump, semi-automatic, side-by-sides, and over-and-unders all make excellent waterfowl and upland bird guns. You can add a .410 for doves. Licenses - We encourage you to visit Washington State DFW Licensing if you have any questions or need to purchase a hunting or fishing license online. New hunters born after 1/1/72 must show proof of completion of Washington State’s hunter-ed course. Fishing Licenses may also be purchased online at WDFW or locally at Sportsmans Warehouse and Walmart in Moses Lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/7dac7ddf-eed0-4c55-9e7e-e2814cb2a925/Screen+Shot+2021-12-28+at+12.51.29+PM.png Plan Your Trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/a18364fa-3012-4b16-8971-937e880e3bd3/Eastern_Washington_Guides_Plan_Your_Trip_Rock_Top_Moses_Lake_Washington.jpg Plan Your Trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/e5f0f04b-c1c6-4edf-910e-8cb8fb6de26b/Eastern_Washington_Guides_Plan_Your_Trip_El_Rodeo_Moses_Lake_Washington.png Plan Your Trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/a4343b0f-b754-4f00-a651-ab4a337265c5/Eastern_Washington_Guides_SmallFlockGeese_DogRetrieve_SnowGoose.jpg Plan Your Trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/a4343b0f-b754-4f00-a651-ab4a337265c5/Eastern_Washington_Guides_SmallFlockGeese_DogRetrieve_SnowGoose.jpg Plan Your Trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/a4343b0f-b754-4f00-a651-ab4a337265c5/Eastern_Washington_Guides_SmallFlockGeese_DogRetrieve_SnowGoose.jpg Plan Your Trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/2173a6f9-a088-4f27-b46b-8599fba8bb6a/Eastern-Washington-Guides-doves-sidebyside-shotty.jpeg Plan Your Trip -

The Hunt Expect to arrive at the hunting location - field, pond, or lake - about an hour before shooting time. The guide(s) will be responsible for getting the decoy spread put out but everyone tends to chip in. Under frosty conditions, your guides will not put the decoys out until the very last second. Why is this? We've found that the geese and ducks will actually fly right on by - or flare if they see frosting on top of the head and the body of the decoy. Geese are very smart birds, the dumb ones are dead already. Our guides take pride in ensuring our clients are as comfortable, and camouflaged as possible for your hunt. Each hunt may require different setups to get you where the ducks and geese are flying so we’ll adjust our hunting setups between layouts, built, and pit blinds to gain the advantage. Expect to hunt till around 1pm if you don't finish earlier to let the birds rest and ensure continued quality hunting all year. This can depend on the weather and vary at times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/345aeebf-eb5d-490c-a24d-7dad649037d0/Screen+Shot+2021-12-11+at+4.04.49+PM.png Trips - WATERFOWL HUNTING - Morning Meet Up A typical guided goose hunting trip will start off by meeting with the guide at Half-Sun Chevron Truck Station, 420 S Wanapum Dr, Moses Lake, WA 98837. We’ll fill up on coffee, grab breakfast grub from the Champs hot shelf and any snacks needed for the day. If a different meetup location is needed for your group, your guide will contact you the evening before. If not, meet at Half-Sun. From the morning meet up, your group will follow the waterfowl guide out to the area that we feel will be the most successful for that day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616c987ed2cc753c6b443a5c/96309468-38c2-40c4-b2c8-6631da573863/Eastern_Washington_Guides_Aaron_Bio.jpg Trips - WATERFOWL HUNTING - Get to Know Your Guides Waterfowl hunting is more than limting on birds. I mean, we get our fair share of limits but at the same time, we recognize all that goes into creating a memorable waterfowl hunting experience is more than a bag of birds. One of those pieces are likable, experienced guides; it’s a bonus if our guide somewhat funny or a decent caller.

If a different meetup location is needed for your group, your guide will contact you the evening before. If not, meet at Half-Sun. These trips are typically warm weather hunts, given that we go from Labor Day through October.
