Common Questions

How do I book?

Call us at (248) 835-0026 or use the inquiry form below. A 50% deposit secures your dates. We'll confirm availability and get back to you within 24 hours.

Do I need a Michigan hunting license?

Yes. All hunters must have a valid Michigan waterfowl license and the appropriate federal and state stamps. We do not provide licenses.

Can I bring my dog?

Absolutely. Dogs are welcome on self guided hunts. Let us know when you book so we can plan accordingly.

What's the cancellation policy?

Call us to discuss. We understand weather and life happen — we'll work with you when we can.

What's the difference between bunk and private lodging?

Bunk lodging puts you in a shared room with other hunters — no kitchen, but microwave and coffee are available. Private lodging is your group only, with a full kitchen and living room. Private lodging adds $175/person to the base rate.

Are weekend hunts available?

Yes, but guided hunts (Guided Marsh and Long Tail) are weekdays only. Self guided blind rentals are available on weekends. Weekend hunts require a 2-day minimum booking.
