About this trip
Nebraska Duck & Goose Combo Hunt
Hunt the heart of Nebraska's Platte River corridor with 402 Waterfowl Outfitters on a guided duck and goose hunt built around one of the Central Flyway's most productive migration routes.
Located along the famous Platte River in Eastern Nebraska, 402 Waterfowl has access to a variety of waterfowl habitat that allows the guides to adjust throughout the season as weather, migration patterns, and feeding activity change. Hunts may take place over grain fields, ponds, wetlands, warm-water sloughs, and the Platte River system, giving hunters the opportunity to experience several styles of Nebraska waterfowl hunting during their trip.
The result is a true mixed-bag waterfowl experience with opportunities to target both ducks and geese as birds move through the Platte River corridor.
The Hunt
Each morning starts from one of 402 Waterfowl's established hunting locations situated in high-traffic waterfowl areas.
Hunters can expect to hunt from comfortable heated blinds over quality decoy spreads while guides work birds into range. Depending on current conditions, the crew may focus on ducks, geese, or a combination of both.
Rather than depending on a single field or permanent setup, 402 Waterfowl utilizes multiple properties and habitat types to stay mobile throughout the season. Grain fields may be productive when geese are feeding heavily, while ponds, sloughs, wetlands, and river locations can provide excellent opportunities as ducks move through the area.
Hunts typically feature action throughout the morning and into the early afternoon.
Breakfast is provided in the blind each hunting day, allowing hunters to stay comfortable and focused on the hunt while birds are moving.
