Perdido Key Offers A Unique Duck Hunting Experience
As we gear up for the upcoming duck hunting season on the white sand beaches of Perdido Key, Florida, I want to emphasize that the sheer joy of waterfowl hunting is attainable without breaking the bank. It’s easy to get swept up in the allure of top-tier equipment and targeting specific duck species. Still, it’s crucial to remember that hunting gear can be pretty pricey, especially for those new to the sport or young hunters who may not have the means to invest in high-end gear immediately. Additionally, DO NOT feel compelled to travel to Arkansas or Southern Louisiana for a quality hunt. Try the beach instead.
I vividly remember my early days as a waterfowl hunter around North Alabama, relying on basic hip boots and a regular raincoat simply because that’s all I could afford. And you know what? It didn’t diminish my passion for the sport one bit. The beauty of waterfowl hunting in Perdido Key lies in the fact that you can start with the basics and be just fine because it does not get super cold. Intercoastal Safaris has this down to science.
Reflecting on my past hunting adventures on Perdido Key with Captain Brian floods my head with some of the most memorable mornings of my hunting career. The exhilaration of setting up decoys in the intracoastal waterway and witnessing a flock of redheads descending is breathtaking. Shooting redhead drakes with the Blue Angels flying in the background is one of the more memorable moments you will ever have in the duck blind.
What left a lasting impression on me was witnessing Captain Brian’s remarkable ability to identify ducks from a distance and his exceptional calling skills. It was also eye-opening to discover the diversity of ducks Perdido Key has to offer. The best part? You can fully enjoy the thrill of duck hunting in Perdido Key without breaking ice in the morning and walk right into the Flora-Bama after the hunt.
In Perdido Key, we utilized single decoys in shallow water for our diver hunt, and a bit further out, we employed a different setup for hunting divers in deeper waters. The flexibility and adaptability required for hunting divers on the coastal waters of Perdido Key are vital, and Captain Bryan is always eager to explore more innovative strategies as he continues my waterfowl hunting journey.
Here’s to an upcoming hunting season in Perdido Key, offering camaraderie, unique experiences, and the joy of embracing the sport without feeling the brutal cold often accompanying duck hunting. Click here to book your coastal duck hunt with Intercoastal Safaris. Happy hunting, everyone!
