Upland and Waterfowl Hunting
Grouse, Woodcock, Ducks and Geese
As the summer winds down and the evenings develop a slight chill, our minds go to the amazing birds that inhabit our area and the Autumn memories that will be created. Michigan is one of the top 3 states for grouse hunting and the “king of the gamebirds” thrives well here, especially in Northern Michigan.
Additionally, with our abundance of water and the natural navigation migrating waterfowl use the Great Lakes for, we can have some amazingly diverse waterfowl hunts. Not only do we see mallards and teal, but also Goldeneyes, Redheads, Greater Scaup (aka Bluebills) and even the occasional Canvasback and Pintail. Late season most always ensures the diver species on the Bays.
Hawkins Outfitters offers many different options for chasing upland and waterfowl species. Whether it is grouse and woodcock over stylish English Setters or waterfowl on the rivers, inland lakes or Lake Michigan, you are sure to enjoy a day afield that you won’t soon forget.
