SPECIAL NOTE: Enjoy a morning or an afternoon with Board member Ken Crother waterfowl hunting in the 2013/2014 season. Ken is a licensed guide, was born and raised in the area surrounded by some of the Pacific Flyway’s best duck and goose hunting. The hunt is for two people and dates can be agreed upon ahead of time or we can try and wait for nasty weather – which can be conducive to best hunting.

The California Central Valley is a region with rich waterfowling club traditions. It is rice country with a mild climate, and wintering ducks and geese find it quite appealing. The duck hunter success rate, when measured in birds-per-hunter figures, is also consistently higher here than it is anywhere else in the country, at around 28 ducks per hunter, per season in 2008 and 2009, according to the Migratory Bird Hunting Activity and Harvest survey conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. That’s a better average than hunters from either Louisiana or Arkansas.

Green-winged teal make up the bulk of the duck harvest for California waterfowlers, but the Central Valley is renowned as the spot to hunt wigeon (including the occasional Eurasian variety), pintails and cinnamon teal. California hunters shoot quite a few specklebellies, too.
