DUCK & GOOSE COMBO HUNTS IN DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY WITH KEVIN POPO

Duck and Goose Combo Hunting in New Jersey and Delaware

Our New Jersey and Delaware duck hunting is both productive and convenient. All of our blinds are on impoundments and farm ponds (both are non-tidal) which means easy access. No more boat rides in the dark, trying to walk through knee deep mud or having your gun and clothes covered in mud- all experienced when hunting a tidal marsh.

Due to its large number of grain farms, southern New Jersey hosts some of the largest concentrations of Canada geese in the state. We are surrounded by large bodies of water that hold good concentrations of geese throughout the season. This water is both tidal and non’tidal so freeze up is not a problem. Another bonus of hunting in New Jersey is the Canada goose limit is 3 birds as opposed to Maryland Eastern shore which is only 2 birds.

Our Impoundments

Our fresh water impoundments have the two ingredients essential for great puddle duck hunting- shallow water and a variety of natural foods.These impoundments provide ducks with high quality natural foods-wild rice, duck weed, smart weed and duck celery. These impoundments are 60-100 acres which means there is plenty of food throughout the gunning season. We also plant some wild rice each spring. These large impoundments are also big enough for birds to loaf on all day long without being disturbed. Also our impoundments are far apart which means we are hunting different bunches of birds to help keep our hunting consistently good.

Our Ponds

For our New Jersey duck hunting, we also have farm ponds we hunt when the conditions are right. These ponds can provide good gunning when the hunting pressure is heavy or on windy days when the birds are looking for sheltered, protected water. Being small, shots on our farm ponds are generally inside of 25 yards.Being so small, these ponds can’t take a lot of hunting pressure, so we hunt them only 1-2 times a month.

Our Farms

We manage over 9 farms encompassing about 2200 acres in south Jersey and Marylands’ Eastern show which helps ensure no one farm is overgunned. These are all leased farms. All of our hunts are in bean, corn or wheat fields – a favorite of Canada geese.These three crops provide Canada geese the food they love and need throughout the gunning season.

Our Decoys

We like to use hand -carved cork decoys along with GHG decoys because of their realism and larger size. Most of the birds we are hunting travel in small bunches so 2-3 dozen decoys is plenty along with a few mojos when conditions dictate. Kevin Popo Guide Service also provides large spreads of today’s top-quality decoys. We use both Big Foot and Real Geese decoys to provide you with the best opportunity of harvesting Canada geese. Depending on the weather and field conditions, these realistic decoys can mean the difference between a good or slow day especially on late season geese. All of our decoys are well maintained and new decoys are bought on an annual basis.

Pits

Both our New Jersey Canada goose hunting and Maryland Canada goose hunting is done from large, spacious and well-maintained pits. Our pits are all 16-20 ft long and 6 ft wide to ensure you stay dry and comfortable no matter how bad the weather. You haven’t experienced atrue Canda goose hunt until you have geese literally trying to landing on your head!!.

Calling

Some days world-class calling is the difference between a mediocre hunt and a limit hunt. We make the sounds (or notes) needed to have the birds landing right at your feet because we realize you are here to experience a memorable canada goose hunt not to listen to a great caller.

The Harvest

We take a large variety of puddle ducks and geese over the course of the season on these large impoundments. In the early season, (Oct -Nov) we mainly take smaller ducks- blue-wing teal, green-wing teal, wood ducks and mallards. In the late season, (Nov-Dec) we take a larger ducks and variety- a few straggler teal and wood ducks but mainly mallards and gadwall and some days pintail, widgeon and shovelers. We also take some Canada geese when conditions are right.
