Wing Shooting

| Another consideration for fall guests is the opportunity to add some wing shooting to a fishing venue. Ptarmigan season opens on August 10th. They are plentiful birds that inhabit spectacular country. There is a generous bag limit of 10 birds per day, 20 in possession in the Kenai Mountains, while across the Cook Inlet the limit is 20 birds per day and 40 in possession. You may be flown from the lodge, by floatplane, into the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge or Lake Clark National Park by your pilot guide. Hunters can expect to see large numbers of Willow Ptarmigan and can usually see Rock Ptarmigan as well. You may bring your own dog if you like or hunt over one of our experienced ptarmigan dogs. We can also supply shotguns. Ptarmigan inhabit extremely physically challenging terrain and you should be in good physical condition. You will have to utilize an Ultimate Expedition or a One on One Super Cub Fly-out to access these locations and hunt for these spectacular wild birds. (please see Optional Fishing Trips for Pricing). We also offer hunts in March, on snowshoes, for Willow and White-tailed Ptarmigan and occasionally Rocks. Spring or fall, you will be amazed at the number of birds we will show you on any of these hunts. We would also like to interest you in a fly-out duck hunt. We restrict our duck hunts to small parties of 2-3 hunters as we fly by Wheeled Super Cubs to our destination. September 1st is the opening day of Duck season in Alaska. For the best hunting, we can put you on the tidal flats of the Cook Inlet's West Side or the South shore of Kachemak Bay. Here you can expect to enjoy good pass, jump or decoy shooting in the shadows of a 10,000-foot volcano. As with all duck hunting it is very weather dependent but we think you will agree that there is not a more beautiful place to pursue waterfowl. The adventure of landing on unimproved, remote strips in these “Tundra Tire” equipped Super Cubs is incomparable. A final consideration for the wing shooting enthusiast is Spruce Grouse hunting. We hunt the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge road system for these unique birds. Along with ptarmigan the season opens on August 10th but by far the best hunting is during the last 10 days of September and early October. |
