Let’s end the year in true Her Wilderness fashion, bold, brave, and bundled up on the breathtaking coast of Maine. This adventure brings women together for an unforgettable guided sea duck hunting experience in one of North America’s most iconic waterfowling destinations. Maine offers stunning views, historic lighthouses, and the kind of raw coastal beauty that leaves a lasting impression.

Each morning, we’ll launch into the salty Atlantic before sunrise, where the cold air, crashing waves, and distant calls of beautiful eiders and sneaky scoters set the tone for an exhilarating hunt. Led by experienced local guides, we’ll target sea ducks like common eider, black scoter, surf scoter, and long-tailed duck (formerly known as old squaw), learning the techniques and traditions unique to hunting in this powerful maritime environment.

Whether you're an experienced waterfowler or a curious newcomer ready to dive into the world of sea duck hunting, this trip is designed to challenge, inspire, and connect you. You'll leave with new skills, unforgettable memories, and a deeper sense of confidence and camaraderie.

When we’re not on the water, we’ll warm up with hearty meals and cozy lodging! There will be time to rest, share stories, and soak in the simple pleasure of unplugging in a place that feels like the edge of the world.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:
• 3 nights of lodging in a shared coastal cabin
• 2 days of fully guided sea duck hunting with licensed Maine guides
• Boats, decoys, and all hunt logistics provided
• Community connection with other adventurous women

Sea duck hunting along the Maine coast is a unique and thrilling experience that often involves early morning boat launches into the frigid Atlantic. We'll primarily hunt from layout-style boats or custom sea duck rigs set just offshore, giving us optimal positioning for decoying birds. These hunts target fast-flying species like common eider, long-tailed ducks, and all three species of scoter as they move along the coastal flyways. Depending on weather and conditions, we may also set up near rocky outcroppings or islands where sea ducks raft up and feed. The guides will adjust strategies daily based on bird movement and tides to ensure the best opportunities, and the most authentic Maine experience!
