Experience Classic Klamath Basin Waterfowl Hunting

Join OrCal Outfitters for fully guided regular season waterfowl hunts across the legendary Klamath Basin, hunting one of the most diverse and productive waterfowl regions on the West Coast. Spanning both Northern California and Southern Oregon, these hunts target migrating ducks and geese throughout the peak of the Pacific Flyway migration.

From massive groups of specklebellies and snow geese working grain fields to mallards and pintail dropping into flooded ground and water edges, every day in the Klamath Basin offers a different experience depending on weather, migration timing, and bird movement.

The OrCal team scouts constantly throughout the season to stay on fresh feeds and active birds, giving hunters the best possible opportunity for quality shoots and memorable mornings in the blind.

A True Opportunity at Banded Birds

The Klamath Basin offers hunters a strong chance at harvesting banded birds each season thanks to extensive waterfowl banding efforts throughout California refuges and areas north of the basin. These conservation programs help track migration patterns and waterfowl populations across the Pacific Flyway.

With huge numbers of migratory ducks and geese moving through the region every year, OrCal Outfitters regularly sees hunters recover banded birds throughout the season — adding an unforgettable bonus to an already incredible waterfowl hunt.
