Hello Fellow Waterfowlers,

I know y'all get a lot of these threads and I'm sorry guys. :thumbsup: Try and give this Texan a little slack :beer: :beer:

I will be visiting Alaska next season most likely in October-November. My brother in-law will be moving to Anchorage to work at Conoco Phillips. I have done some research with different guides that are offered, but it seems like going out to the islands or cold bay is most of what they offer. Valdez looks like one of the closest places I could get to. Most of these guides offer weekly packages and I know I will not be able to pull that off in the time I am allowed. I also noticed that, there might be some hunting around the flats outside of Anchorage.

I am looking to do a little hunting, but preferable something that would take 2 days tops. I would love to pull off a harlequin hunt, but I am not sure that is possible with my time frame and location. Either way, I would like to be in God's country and hunt while I am there. Do y'all know of any guides that might be closer to Anchorage or that offer shorter hunts in Valdez/(somewhere that offers sea ducks)? Also, how easy is it to get to Valdez?

Thank you for your help :bow:

Valdez you drive to, don't let the map fool you, it's a drive
Not real sure but there should be someone in Seward or Whitter that goes out duck hunting?
In Oct Nov the water starts to freeze up.
Hopefully someone will chime in that has more experience than I do to help you out.

Thanks Frozen Okie :thumbsup:

Yea, just getting a head start on the guide service scouting. All I am seeing is a ferry ride to Valdez. Says it's only a 4 hour trip with some driving and the ferry. I'm sure there is a road a little north of that I could drive, but I'm not exactly sure what my vehicle situation will be while in town.

My brother-in-law will be up there in August and he will be doing some asking around, but he's not a hunter and I don't know how much I could trust his information. Thats why I turned to you guys. :beer: :beer:

Oh and just to let y'all see a little of where I am used to hunting. Usually lakes, small ponds and farms for this guy.

See if this helps you any
Am new to the duck thing but the guys on here should be able to point you in the right direction

I'm not a sea duck hunter myself.
But living in Alaska word gets out contact Buck Brown. This is the guy to get ahold of he is highly recommended.

You need to fly or drive to Homer ~ 4-4.5 hours drive south of Anchorage.
