Frequently Asked Questions
What to Expect at a Duck Hunt:
Each morning, attendees will be divided into small hunting groups and assigned an experienced guide and hunting dog. Your guide will transport your group to a private hunting location used exclusively by Five Oaks Lodge guests. Your guide will call the ducks, let you know when to shoot, and most importantly, ensure your hunt is legal, safe, and fun. Often a highlight of the experience, your dog will eagerly retrieve your ducks for you over land or through water. Your guide will then transport you and your ducks back to the lodge.
Do I need to bring a gun and ammunition?
Shotguns and ammunition will be provided, however, participants are invited to bring their own gun.
Do I need to bring special gear for duck hunting?
The Lodge will provide all participants a wader. The wader is a waterproof garment for the feet, legs and upper body that keeps you dry. This is the most important gear for your hunt.
What do I wear when I go hunting?
You need to wear clothing and special accessories that will do two things: hide you from the ducks and keep you warm. Many of these items you may already have at home. Some you may need to purchase.
