Alaska Wildfowl Adventures was created to share some of the most unique and adventurous duck hunting in North America with duck hunting enthusiasts around the world. We specialize in high quality hunts for trophy birds with a low guide to client ratio. You will experience true remoteness during our Aleutian Islands hunts and visit one of the most beautiful places in Alaska on our Valdez sea duck hunts. These two locations offer fun hunting for either early season ducks and geese, or for a trophy bird of a lifetime. |

After a few seasons of waterfowling in Alaska for his personal pleasure, Captain Tim decided this was something he had to share. Six seasons later, Alaska Wildfowl Adventures is going strong. Because of his passion and dedication to the sport, he is also proud to be on the Avery Pro-Staff. We have always used Avery gear in our hunting and are excited to be part of their team. |

Capt. Tim Bouchard
Tim is the owner and head guide of Alaska Wildfowl Adventures. Tim started the company six seasons ago and it is going strong! He is a licensed Coast Guard Captain, and is on the water year-round. You can find Tim on the rivers of Alaska during the summer months guiding for trophy pike and salmon, then, starting Sept. 1 he is a full-time duck guide. Having years of experience in Alaska waterfowling, Tim has the knowledge required to provide a great hunt every time out. Tim is also an officer for the Fairbanks chapter of Ducks Unlimited, and a proud member of the Avery Pro-Staff.

Capt. Brian Rhodes
Although Brian lives in southern New England, in a little state called Rhode Island, he has proven himself as an Alaskan duck hunter over the last five seasons. Brian is the owner of “The Swampers,” a company producing waterfowl hunting DVDs, and during Dec and Jan he runs his own waterfowl guiding business on the northeast coast for Eider, Scoter and Divers. Brian is also a fully licensed USCG Captain. You can expect his years of sea duck hunting on the east coast and his Alaska knowledge to lead you to successful and fun hunt. Brian is also a member of Avery's Pro-Staff.

Capt. Bill Connell
Bill is a long-time Valdez resident and your captain and guide for the ultimate live-aboard waterfowl hunting adventures. Bill’s local knowledge of the waters around Valdez will give you one of the most unique Alaska experiences there is. Bill spends much of his spring, summer, fall, and winter on the waters of Prince William Sound. While not duck hunting, he is guiding for halibut and salmon, or trapping along the shoreline. Bill will put in a 110% effort to make sure you have a fun and successful trip aboard his boat, the “C” Haven.

Isaac Helmericks
Isaac maybe the newest member of Alaska Wildfowl, but he has the most experience in hunting Alaska's waterfowl. Isaac is a life-long Alaska, growing up on the Colville River on the North Slope. Living in this unique environment Isaac has hand-feed king eiders and had a pet caribou as a child. With his father's guidance Isaac has helped count and band countless birds on the slope and helped raise many of Alaska waterfowl in their aviary. Alaska Wildfowl is honored to have Isaac as a guide on their new Aleutian Island hunts. This is a man that knows the birds and knows how to hunt them, you can expect a great time when you are in the blind with Isaac.
