Sordhunter,
As far as I know there are no waterfowling guides allowed in Idaho. With so much of Idaho being public I could see how this would cause problems.
This is a good place to get information on a place to hunt. Problem is its the off season and hardly anyone will post until next season rolls around. I would like to help you but I have never hunted that part of the state. Keep watching though and you might get a response.

Hunting Idaho for ducks 02-21-2006 14:33

Gents,
Just wanted to pick some guys brains here. I live in WA state, and am considering making a trip to the Panhandle area sometime in early season next year to hunt ducks over water.
I’ve heard rumors there are no waterfowl guides (its illelgal) in Idaho– true? Deons’t make sense to me, but thought people here would know.
Any place/person to contact for more info on the hunt I described above?

I know this is not the right area to post this, but I also know how many Ndak’s hunt Sask. Anyway Sask is doing a phone survey of US Residents to determine what the financial impact would be on their economy if they required a guide to hunt Sask. So be prepared to answer this survey if they call you and lets make sure this does not happen

Wonderful end to the season, birds were plentiful but most had seen decoys and few responded to calling. Steady pairs and singles. Teal, Mallards, Gadwall, and Pintail. We observed large feeder flights in the evening headed to the corn. Nice to see these large numbers of birds in our region of the state again.

Great last day! I hunted solo this morning for geese again and shot my limit in the first two flocks. I got one out of the first and tripled on the second flock. It really went by to fast I hardly had time to set back and enjoy it. Then I came home and grabbed my dog and went out to Lake Lowell for an evening duck hunt. I shot a limit of ducks in an hour and a half. Tons of birds around. I jumped what seemed like thousands out of the floating vegitation and set up where they were. Hard to find cover to hide in but the sun was low and at my back so it really helped. It was an excellent season. I ended up with about 120 ducks and 20 geese, plus I shot my first two banded ducks this season in the same day. Lots of great memories made.

5 of us hunted sun. hoping to end the season on a positive note, needless to say it was very poor. We shot 5 greenheads. There were many birds rafted up but very little interested in the marsh. There was definetly a lack of decoying ducks although there were plenty of jackass’s hunting. We had two groups a geese that were working that got sky busted at while working our spread. I guess you cant blame them they were in range……125yds??? I think its time to put down the gun and pick up the steelhead rod.

Same spot again for geese. Clear skies till about noon then the fog rolled in really tight and we packed up. Only saw two ducks all day and we got them both a pair of pintails. The geese were just starting to fly and we got five before the fog came. We flocked the layout blinds and they looked great. The birds never saw it coming. For being late season birds they are still decoying fairly well and responding to calls.
