Fall Duck

About Outfitter

Dear Friends, Thank you for taking the time to consider our team for your next waterfowl adventure. Rest assured, you are looking in the right place. Basswood Lodge started in 1997 as a family run business and continues to be today. Everyone on my team is a part of my extended family. We are truly blessed to live this life and we take nothing for granted. I grew up hunting, fishing, and trapping the marshes and rivers of the St. Lawrence River Valley. From a young age my parents taught me the value of a good days work. I have taken this mentality and applied it to everything I have done in life. We own a lot of ground and have exclusive access to the most productive ground that exists here. I expect everyone on my team to have the same work ethic I have. I can promise you no grass grows between our toes while trying to give you the experience you came here to get. I have built a crew of professional waterfowl guides who take every aspect of the business as seriously as I do. Not many outfitters these days have as much skin in the game as we do.

Experience Overview

eing located in the famed Prairie Potholes of the East, in the heart of the St. Lawrence River Valley, we have some of the best fall ducking that exists anywhere on the East Coast. The majority of the ducks we are targeting this time of the year are born locally, however we also see migrating birds throughout the fall. We are blessed, through ownership and exclusive access/management, to be a part of one of the largest and most fertile wetland systems on the eastern seaboard. The majority of our fall duck hunting occurs in moist soil marshes, however we will gun over flooded timber and fields, creeks, and river systems throughout the area - including the mighty St. Lawrence. We go where the ducks are. All of our guides have years of experience and these hunts are typically very user friendly and as comfortable as we can make them. We hunt an arsenal of big permanent blinds, but also utilize several types of portable blinds and natural cover. All of our fall duck hunts start at legal shooting time, half hour before sunrise, and we will hunt until mid to late morning, however we will hunt in the afternoon if necessary.
