Our Hunts
Fowl Weather offers fully guided Alaskan Duck hunts from October 15th through December 16th every year. We tailor our hunts around your wishes and the birds you are after. We realize what an Alaskan Sea Duck hunt means to a lot of hunters, and work hard to ensure you a quality hunt.
Many ducks winter over in the food-rich waters of Kachemak Bay. Our hunts take place in many different areas in this large body of water. Harlequin ducks are on many hunters’ lists, and Kachemak Bay consistently holds good numbers of this sea duck.

Owner-operator Gabe King is a year round Alaskan resident and has been hunting the local waters of Kachemak Bay for 30 years. He holds a 100 ton United States Coast Guard Masters license. His 33-foot aluminum landing craft, “Smokey Bay”, is used to transport hunters and gear to the hunting grounds. Transportation to and from the boat is included, and lots of freezer space is available for your trophy birds.
Our quality, species-specific hunts are all-day adventures. Crews are usually split up into groups of 2 and spread out within the bay. Once the action slows down, we move to another location. In addition to hunting over decoys from layout boats, floating blinds and various beaches, you will be surrounded by bald eagles, seals, sea others, the occasional whale, and awesome views of Kachemak Bay’s breathtaking snow-capped mountains. A large supply of species-specific decoys are used to target your desired birds.
Our hunts are offered at reasonable rates, and lots of lodging is available in the nearby community of Homer. Your choices in lodging range from rustic B+Bs to hotels with full bars and restaurants. Homer is a scenic community with much to offer, including fine dining -- and for a drink after your successful hunt, you can’t miss the Salty Dawg Saloon located on the Homer Spit.
What is needed?
A temporary Alaska small game license and state duck stamp. Both can be purchased on Alaska department of fish and game website. You will also need a federal duck stamp.
Shells can be purchased at the local sporting goods store Ulmers. We will pick them up and have them on the boat when you arrive.
Once you fly into Anchorage you can either get a connecting flight to Homer or rent a vehicle in Anchorage and drive down to Homer. If you decide to fly to Homer a vehicle will be supplied to you while you’re in town or we will provide transportation to and from the boat.
If you have any more questions, feel free to call Gabe any time. He’s always happy to talk about duck hunting with fellow hunters.
