Duck Winter

Illinois goose hunting guides can show sportsmen an amazing outdoor adventure throughout the state and even one hour from Chicago. Northern parts of Illinois (and elsewhere in the mid west) are the home to several hundred thousand giant Canada Geese that reside here all twelve months of the year. It has been estimated that about one Million geese migrate to Illinois during winter. Ponds and lakes are also called home to Puddle Ducks and Mallards which make for a great hunt.

So here's some general tips for individuals looking to find a Dove, Goose, or Duck hunting guide service or hunt club in Illinois.

- Some Illinois goose hunting clubs have private ponds on the estate and hunters have the option to go for Mallards. During certain parts of the season, puddle ducks can also be found feeding on corn and soybeans in the Illinois fields when the weather starts to cool down around September, October, and November. Check over the specific hunt clubs website or brochures and see if they have some private ponds to hunt on.

- A professionally operated duck hunting club will use the best hunting brand names for decoys and blinds. The three popular blinds used by Illinois duck hunting guides are layout blinds, portable upright blinds, and pit blinds. A reputable duck and dove hunt club will use blinds that are super comfortable ( heated), concealed, and spacious for you and the crew.

- Try finding a hunt club that has tons of dove trips because Illinois dove hunting guides and clubs could potentially take out over 1,000 doves during the first two weeks of season. Heading out to hunt doves over Illinois wheat and sunflower fields is a trip you'll never forget.

- Look for a hunt club that has access to hunting grounds with large populations of indigenous Illinois and migratory Dove, Ducks and Geese. Good hunting locations will always out produce other spots that look good from the road. Go where the action is. Experienced local Illinois bird guides know exactly where to be at what time of the year. They most likely have been hunting those fields since high school.

- Here's some estimates of local Illinois guide services taken from various authoritative websites.

- September - Goose / Dove - $250.00 US dollars per hunter per day.

- $150.00 US dollars per hunter per day (Hours: 5 am-1 pm)

- $125.00 US dollars per hunter per day (Hours: 12:00 Noon - 4 pm)

Illinois Goose, Duck, and Dove Hunting Season:

- Goose Hunting - September 1st - 15th. And October 16th - January 8th.
- Duck Hunting - October 16th - December 14th.
- Dove Hunting - September 1st - 30th.

- It's a good idea to find a Illinois goose hunting club that rotates hunting their fields and keeps hunting pressure to a minimum Rotating hunting fields has been a strategy used by hunters of all species for years. This especially applies to intuitive game birds.

- Ask the bird hunting guide service how many members go on a typical tour. Standard Illinois goose hunting guides usually go out in groups of five (four hunters including the guide in each pit). Setting up one on one hunting trips with guides would be a great option and for a little extra worth the price.

This duck formerly bred in large numbers in the Mediterranean region, but is now restricted to a few sites in southern Spain and northwest Africa. In the east it survives in Iran (Shadegan Marshes the worlds most important site), as well as isolated pockets in Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq and further to the east in western India and western China. Its breeding habitat is lowland, shallow fresh waters. In some areas birds disperse from the breeding grounds, and have been encountered in the winter period in the Sahel zone, south of the Sahara.

Ferruginous Duck $66.91 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Ferruginous Duck is a mediumsized diving duck from Eurasia. The species is known colloquially by birders as Fudge Duck. Their breeding habitat is marshes and lakes with a metre or more water depth. These ducks breed in southern and eastern Europe and southern and western Asia. They are somewhat migratory, and winter farther south and into north Africa. The adult male is a rich chestnut colour with a darker back and a yellow eye. The pure white undertail helps to distinguish this species from the somewhat similar Tufted Duck. The female is similar but duller, and with a dark eye. These are gregarious birds, forming large flocks in winter, often mixed with other diving ducks, such as Tufted Ducks and Pochards.
