The Habitat

Our waterfowl hunting guide service operates in the North East part of Virginia, in areas adjacent to the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge along Assateague Island. It is one of the most scenic areas in the United States when it comes to duck hunting due in part to the large amount of surrounding water and marsh ecosystems creating ideal grounds for dozens of species of waterfowl. The area also has a very low human population density. This coupled with the historically large concentrations of migrating waterfowl that head for the security and food supply Assateague's refuge offers, has created some the most exciting and ideal waterfowl hunting of the Atlantic flyway. As a result, the area is one of the top three birding sites in America, and boasts one of the highest densities of waterfowl. With such ideal hunting conditions found along Assateague's boarders, the vast marshlands and waterways, this is a place every duck hunter should visit.

The Chincoteague and Assateague Island area combined with the Chincoteague NWR and the abundance of security, marsh lands, agriculture and open water create an excellent staging area for migrating waterfowl. These conditions encourage large numbers of birds to congregate each year.
