The Boats:
Alaska Wildfowl Adventures has a variety of boats for the all the types of hunting we do. From our 18' Alweld aluminum sleds with jets to hunt puddlers and geese in the shallows to our 22' HewesCraft Sea Runner as a tender for our layout hunts.
We also have three open water gunning boats, from 20' to 18'.. We have stripped and modified these to fit our conditions in Valdez and Adak. These boats were created from high quality ocean hulls, like our SeaSport Sportsman. This boat was designed for the big waters we have in Alaska. With a pop-up blind design created by Tim Bouchard, you will be concealed in a large variety of conditions and have a safe and dry ride

Since 2008 we have been offering layout boat hunts!
We use Lake Bonneville layout boats for these hunts. You can find more information on these layout boats on their website - http://www.lakebonnevillelayoutboats.com We now have one of these great boats on Adak and two in Valdez.. Come have some fun with real in-your-face action! |

Shore Blinds:
We spend some time gunning from shore out of portable blinds and Avery Ground Force layout blinds. The portability of the blinds is important, and allows us to change positions when the tide changes. Using a combination of boat blinds and shore blinds ensures a great hunt.
The Decoys:
The majority of our decoys are Greenhead Gear decoys rigged on long-lines, from Goldeneyes to Eurasian Wegion. At last count we are at 34 dozen GHG duck decoys! In the past years we have been proud to hunt over hand-carved Harlequin decoys created by Don Mintz. Don has created some great foamers for us over the years. We still have a few floating in the rig in Valdez. |

During the 2009 season we also started using Capt Jeff Coats (aka Pitboss) Cork Harlequin decoys. These amazing decoys have already had well over 200 harlequin shot over them in their first season! We use these both in Valdez and on Adak. Jeff makes a great decoy! |
