| Just a few photos to whet the appetite of those who check our site regularly. The Canada Geese and Snows have been piling into our region for the last two weeks and these are a couple of the shots we were able to take...... Hope you like them! |
The North Eastern Zone comes to a close!
Here's the Breakdown
Early Shoots for Canada Geese!
The Resident Canada Geese did not disappoint us as we
averaged over 30 Geese per shoot!
|
These are just a few of the shots from our September hunt. Currently, the Seaway team has access to over 33,000 acres of prime agricultural lands in Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties. Thousands of miles of scouting help to keep our team in contact with moving flocks each season. Hunters from all over the northeast use our September hunt to work the "Kinks" out and get prepared for the general waterfowl season! |

The 1st 9-Days of Ducks yielded some
Great Shoots!
Each morning our sportsmen gather at the Westview Lodge
to set the
parameters for how the day will go. SWP utilizes both public and private
swamps and marshes for it's early season pursuit of ducks. You will see
several varieties of ducks above including: Mallards, Blacks, Wood Duck,
GW Teal, BW Teal, Widgeon, Gadwall, Ringnecks and more!
 15 minutes to legal shooting! |

Jamie Abel of the Sodus Pt. Lodge
hunting geese with the SWP Team!
|
Jamie Abel owns and operates the
Sodus Pt. Lodge in Sodus Point, NY. We know this area intimately
having run our Brown Trout fishing operation there for 10 years.
Jamie's Lodge is perfect for our late season hunting operations and it's
right in the heart of some of the best duck hunting that's available.
If you're looking for a late season outing to extend your season - this
is it! Here's what Jamie had to say after gunning with us this
year! If you are considering a duck or goose hunt with SWP, do not hesitate any longer. As an avid waterfowler I can honestly say that any hesitation would be your loss. I've hunted with Bill and his team and I can say it is top notch and professional in every way. He has all the toys and tools from the best decoys and blinds to the best boats and equipment not to mention dogs that live for the retrieve. Bill's vast knowledge of local and flight birds tipped with superb calling ability adds up to one thing, " LOTS OF BIRDS IN THE KILL ZONE". The fact that he has thousands of acres of private and leased swamps and fields for his gunners only dictates where the next super shoot is and not if. I have driven the back roads for miles around his hunting perimeter and have seen thousands of resting birds only to find out that most of those sites are resting for SWP. Give SWP a try and you'll soon understand why PROFESSIONALS is part of the name. Jamie Abel |

The following Photos will blow your mind.
Here are the Old Squaws we promised!
| Here, the seaway team guns "Old Squaw" along the sands south of Henderson Harbor, NY. Our 8 man team took 45 Drake Old Squaw and 3 White-Winged Scoter on this shoot. This is "World Class" gunning that is available anytime Lake Ontario's winds are calm. |
|
Above, Capt. Ron Stein talks Old Squaw hunting with Jamie Abel. Old Squaw ducks fly the string rigs and provide "Post Up" gunning inside 20 yards. Populations of Old Squaw are increasing on Lake Ontario and the Seaway team is looking forward to setting the standard on how and where they are hunted. Pass shooting of these ducks is "Old School"! We are prepared to offer shooting of decoying birds as in the photos above. "Roxy" makes a fine retrieve on a drake that was taken at 15 yards! |
