TRIP COORDINATOR: AMANDA BRIANN
Join us for our fourth year hunting the wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest. This fall, we are heading back to Cathlamet, Washington for an unforgettable women’s waterfowl hunting weekend set along one of the most scenic and productive flyways in the country, the Columbia River. With only 7 spots available, this small group experience is designed to create a supportive, hands on environment where you can build skills, gain confidence, and connect with like minded women. Over two full hunting days, we will chase a true mixed bag of ducks along the Columbia River, which stretches between Washington and Oregon and offers diverse habitat, steady bird movement, and an unforgettable backdrop.
This hunt is for you whether you are brand new to waterfowl hunting or have experience in the blind and want more time in the field. Our experienced guides will handle scouting, setup, and positioning, and they will be right there with you to ensure you feel safe, confident, and supported every step of the way. You will leave with more than birds in hand. You will leave with new confidence, meaningful connections, and a deeper understanding of what you are capable of. Also, don’t worry if you’ve never hunted waterfowl from a blind or cleaned a bird, we’ll guide you through the whole process. This is a great chance to learn hands-on skills in a supportive, no-pressure environment. If you’d like to mount a bird, you can either take it home or coordinate with a local Washington taxidermist.
