Our Virginia waterfowl hunting is located in a great part of Virginia, near the legendary waterfowl areas of Assateague Island National Seashore, Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and their vast surrounding wetlands & waterways. Come hunt the ducks and geese that fly on and off the refuge areas. Our hunts depart from Chincoteague Island, Virginia to hunt ducks and geese that migrate each year to Assateague, Chincoteague and their vast surrounding wetlands. This area is renowned for its abundant / unspoiled wetlands. Our hunts are available from Oct 6-10 & Nov 19 to Jan 28. This is the time of year when the birds are here, many species are open and the weather is good for hunting. ESPN recently picked the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge as #2 in the country. This area in Virginia has a very low human population density with low hunting pressure and one of the most diverse waterfowl populations found anywhere. Our hunts take you to a vast expanse of coastal wetlands along Virginia's barrier island habitat where a large variety (over 20 species) of waterfowl migrate to each year.
