For decades, girls have suited up in their older brothers’ hand-me-down camouflage with the sleeves rolled up, the pants cinched with a belt, and base layers that clung tightly and hung low in all the wrong places. When it comes to waterfowl we have every base covered.The hunting industry is experiencing a cultural shift due to the growing population of hunters who just so happen not to have a Y chromosome. Our timber and beaver pond wood duck hunts are second to none. Mallards and wood ducks are the focus, but we routinely pick up teal, gadwalls, widgeon and others as well. We hunt many different areas from flooded timber and beaver ponds to flooded milo in Maryland, and the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. In October we turn our attention to the other puddle ducks once they come into season in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Warm to mild conditions make this an excellent choice for a new hunter trying waterfowling for the first time. These fast, sporty birds can help you get your season started early.
