Talk about raining ducks!

I would guess they are not too worried! Nice video though!

I know one of the guys that was on those hunts. He does it big every year.

Looks like some good hunting, but Habitat Flats doesn't have a damn thing to worry about. A good chunk of that footage looked like it was from the same overcast day. My guess is they had a few bang up hunts and put together a video. HF does that day in and day out every year.

That's a lot of guns

You are exactly right.

But they are half price compared to HF
Sorry, but i aint spendin $750 a day plus tipping $50 to shoot green, unless i win the texas two step.

Pretty impressive how they are already full booked, must be nice

Then go spend half the money and hope and pray you hit it on a good day. Don't come whining to us if you don't hit it right though. Habitat Flats is as close to a guarantee as you can get with all of the work that is involved in the off season to produce the habitat that brings those birds in like that day after day. Not to mention the management of the habitat during the season so that birds don't get pressured too much in one area and are able to have safe zones that aren't hunted.

I know some people (trying to keep this as anonymous as possible) who went up and hunted with PTO a couple times and from what they have told me, I am not very impressed.

I had two friends go hunt at HF this year for teal. Didn't fire a shot. Nothing is a guarantee!

Teal... seriously?

Hf is in one of the prime hunting grounds as far as geese and ducks goes and their operation is top notch. Its normal the price is high (justified). Its all about supply, demand and a killer location. I just cannot afford myself to book 1-2 years in advance and hope to have a killer hunt. Weather is too much of a factor. If i would go, i would have to book a 7 day hunt to beat the odds. But that could break the bank. I d rather book 1 week in advance to know all the elements, but thats hard to do over there. I missed my chance this year as tony was kind enough to fill 1 spot with a 30 day notice, but could not make it. I did not have to pay a deposit, but i would not put tony in that situation again, but I'm sure he filled my spot. We talked 30 min over the phone and he seems to be a good fellow. Im jealous of his operation yo say the least can u tell?

If any of those birds had bands, bet there was some fighting over them! Lol no way they could tell who shot what...

Tony is a great guy and is passionate about what he does. I grew up with his sister so I know her better and she's also good people. He runs, in my opinion, the best waterfowl operation in the country. Some could say I am biased, but I have yet to come across anything that compares to what he has. So, when you say you are jealous of his operation... I am double jealous. I haven't made it up there to hunt with him yet, but it's on my list. Keep Calm and Chive On.

That awesome but I'm just not into crowds....

I'd do that in a heartbeat..........

This is how we hunted Ducks and Geese where I grew up...

I'm lucky enough to know the guys at HF and PTO. Totally different operations. But don't kid yourselves, PTO is pretty consistent. They are just a smaller operation and haven't been around as long.

HF is the MO hunt we offer at getducks.com

With all that said when i go to Kansas, I hunt with Central Kansas Outfitters over anyone else. When i go to MO I hunt with Tony and Ira.

Stan Jones Mallard Lodge should be thrown into the discussion as well. As far as amenities go, it's top notch. I believe it is $800/ day. But both HF and PTO run a hell of an operation. It's unbelievable the things those guys get to see day in and day out.

Are you giving away some hunts for charity this year?

No im not an outfitter. But i think you should. Its a great feeling. Contact nathan, y'll see.
