Can anyone reccommend any decent guided hunts duck or goose or both on the eastside. some buddies and I are thinking of getting away for a weekend and letting someone else do all the work.
-
i am not taking hunters right now. i still am working on a few leases and the numbers ain't here yet. when i was younger we hunted with burbank guide service, and they good. talked to a few of the guides last year at one of the trade shows and they had been doing really good. they hunt the tri cities area, pasco,kennewick etc.

East side, Burbank Guide Service, Northflight Guide service wet side Leon's Guide Service and Clint White guide service. I use Leon's a lot all on the Nisqually delta, sea ducks, ducks and some goose. :twocents:
-
Burbank's a good one if you want to do a duck hunt one day and a goose hunt the next day.
-
Northflight is a good group of guys. They have some awsome feilds to hunt and do a good job from what I here

Aaron Echternkamp out of Moses lake my boys and I have hunted with him many times. Have always got our limits and if your goose hunting and the ducks are coming in also he will stay out even after you fill your goose limit. easily the best guide I have hunted with

totally agree! go with these guys! :tup:

Strand Outdoors, best you can get.
-
Another vote for Burbank out of Tri-cities area. Never had anything but a great experience with them.
-
I haven't had the best experience with Burbank although its been a few years. Seemed that you needed book more then two trips a year to get a decent field. I have had good trips with Pacific Wings. Like I said it's been a few years since I've hunted with eather so not sure if its the same or not.
-
Big Guns is another option. I haven't hunted with them but have hunted with Bill Saunders when he was guiding for Pacific Wings and had some great hunts.

Great Guys!!! I know one of his guides personally and he's a goose hunting machine

Call Jay Sullivan at 509 521 4597.
He has a heck of a pond for ducks.
He can be cheaper because he does not advertise and it is all word of mouth.

Little late to the info sharing...but for what it's worth all the guides listed kill geese and ducks every year. The key for you being a "new client" is to hunt a field / pond that actually has birds in it the day before. You might get put on traffic. A service I didn't see posted was Backwingoutfitters. I think they are new to the guiding service game. What I appreciated about them is that they seem to be straight shooters in the sense that if they don't have the birds they call you and say don't come. They don't put you on traffic.... You could find some info out at their website of facebook page. The guy I went with was Brian. Nice guy.....and their location is one of the best around......right above the McNary Wildlife Refuge.

sounds like Mehlenbacher's. The best farm around for running traffic!

yes backwing outfitters is mehlenbachers but like was mentioned before he wont take you unless hes got birds for you. hes not going to take you out just to run traffic
-
We had Mehlenbacher's for a couple of years a while back. Lots of birds out there and I'm sure Brian has a pretty good handle on things out there. Was always impressive to sit in a pit there and watch 50K geese a day fly over your head.

My vote....Ben is a great guy and has helped Puyallup DU alot.
-
I have hunted with Burbank, Mardon Duck Taxi, Pacific Wings and had fantastic hunts with each and not so fantastic hunts with each. If the conditions are sub par no one can make birds happen. I evaluate them on service and effort and honesty.
I can't remember if the OP asked about seaducks but someone responded with a few seaduck guide references. All I can say about that is ask to see their US Coast Guard license and TWIC card before getting in the boat. It is required for any passenger for hire vessel on Puget Sound and Columbia River.
-
I went once with Echternkamps a couple years ago and had a great time. Eric was our guide and he did a great job. It was the last day of the season and it was slow, so we stayed in the field until dark and shot a couple limits. Great guys.
