Whitetail Guided Hunt
Each Saturday,beginning with the regular opening day of waterfowl season,there will be two guided hunts for ducks and geese within the normally restricted Whitetail Swamp. The hunts take place in a flooded timber area of Hullett Marsh where hunters are not allowed access to at any other time of the season. At times, this swamp holds thousands of ducks and the two hunting stakes are placed in an area that is very attractive to them.
The hunts begin at the legal shooting time and will end at 1:00 pm. Two hunters, along with a volunteer guide and dog,will hunt from each stake.The guides provide decoys and a trained retriever. The selected hunters must be in good physical condition and able to wade in knee to hip-high water.The hunters provide their own guns,ammunition,waders,camouflage clothing,and refreshments.No alcohol will be tolerated.
Each of the hunters are allowed their legal limit of ducks and geese.No ducks are to be shot and allotted to the guide's limit. Mallards,Teal,and Woodies are the species most frequently harvested.
The hunters are chosen by lottery on July 31 for each year. To enter the lottery,one hunter must submit a cheque for $200.00 to the "Friends of Hullett"prior to July 31. Each hunter is allowed only one draw. Successful applicants are notified soon after the draw, in the order in which they are drawn,and asked to schedule one of the available hunting dates. Depending on the season,14 to 18 hunts occur. The $200.00 is the cost for two hunters for the chosen day.
All the money raised through the hunts goes directly to the Hullett Marsh. The guides are volunteers and are not paid from the proceeds. If you want a unique hunting experience and would like to help raise money for Hullett,please apply.
