TRIP DETAILS + INFORMATION

Prepare yourself for a trip of a lifetime in the Pacific Northwest, sea duck hunting. Heading to Poulsbo, Washington to the salt water, we will be hunting out of a layout boat within our decoy spread. Multiple species of ducks will be encountered on this trip, which include surf scoter, white-winged scoter, black scoter, long-tailed ducks, barrow and common goldeneye, bufflehead, scaup, common merganser and red-breasted merganser.  This trip will accommodate 4 ladies due to the size of the layout boat. Plenty of space for shooting comfortably and celebrating with the other ladies. You do not want to miss out on this opportunity to target unique trophy birds. 

LODGING ACCOMMODATIONS + MISC. DETAILS

We will be staying in a VRBO home located in Poulsbo, Washington. This home has 2 bedrooms, with 2 queen beds. Please prepare to share a bed with another lady. There is also a couch, if you prefer not to share a bed. This home only has 1 bathroom, so please be considerate with your time spent. This home is less than 30 minutes away from multiple boat launches, where we will be launching for our hunt. There is a full kitchen inside with an open concept living space to relax, tell stories and get to know each other. There is a beautiful deck off the back, with a fire pit we can gather around. This home is secluded and tucked away down a country road, giving us more privacy and space for the weekend.

TARGET SPECIES, REGULATIONS AND PROCESSING OF TAXIDERMY OR MEAT HARVEST PLAN. 

We are targeting sea ducks! We will hunt early in the morning on both Saturday and Sunday. The plan will be to hunt until we have limits, or the flights die down. Bird limit in Washington is 7 birds, per lady. We will be shooting a lot of beautiful ducks, some that you may consider dropping off at the taxidermy. Please plan to take ducks back home with you, whether you will be utilizing a taxidermy, or only taking the meat. We will be cleaning the ducks prior to departing. If you are flying, we can put the meat in the freezer so you can carry-on/check in your luggage. If you are driving, I would recommend a small cooler. You are more than welcome to find a taxidermy in the area, or bring home a full duck with you. I recommend bringing storage bags for your duck/meat. If available, please bring a knife for processing and ziplock bags.

EXPECTATIONS + NO DRAMA POLICY

There are times that our trips do not go exactly as planned or advertised. Mother nature plays a large role in how we are able to spend time outdoors. We ask that you come into every single Her Wilderness trip with a positive attitude and “go with the flow” mindset for the duration of your trip. If that seems unreasonable, we kindly ask that you do not register for our events. The weather is unpredictable and can impact hiking, hunting, fishing, and our number #1 priority, your safety! For example, if your trip is geared towards hunting ducks, but right now the guide can only confidently offer a successful goose hunt, we will go with the guide's recommendation. If a situation like this will upset you then please do not register for a trip with us. We expect every woman to have a positive attitude no matter the circumstances. We have had plenty of trips get canceled, rescheduled or have plans changed with no issues simply because the group was understanding and made the best of the situation they were given. We pride ourselves in how fun our trips can be even in the most unfortunate of circumstances. If you are often considered “high maintenance” or tend to get stressed out then we kindly want to let you know that our trips are not a good fit for you. You may have to share a bed with a stranger, the weather may not allow us to participate in an activity, there may not be any showers available, there may only be 1 bathroom for 10 women, you may not harvest the animal you wanted to get, there could be someone on the trip that you just don’t vibe with. All of these scenarios are real and they happen. We will do our best to filter and prevent what we can before it becomes an issue. All of our trips and events are a drama and stress free zone! If you are the source of any drama you will be asked to leave with no refund given. We always want to ensure that our customers are comfortable and taken care of. We will always ask that you have a cool, calm and collected attitude. If you are unable to maintain a good attitude in a variety of circumstances we kindly ask that you refrain from registering for a trip. We appreciate each and everyone of our customers and want to ensure the best experience for all of our attendees!
