Duck hunting overnight in CNY

[Otto]

My friends wife called me the other day and wanted held with her husband's birthday gift. She wanted him to have a "duck hunting weekend" away from home. Nice gesture, and even better she said she wanted me to go along with him!

Usually we did day hunts at Happy Valley or some local farm ponds and fields, but she wanted a place for him to take the whole weekend. I searched online a little and prices for a guided hunt were anywhere from $250 to 800 per person for one day, not including any accommodations.

So I am looking for suggestions of places to go where we could rent a cabin nearby some duck hunting, without the extra expense of a guided hunt?

Open to any ideas! Thanks.

Something seems fishy. The wife is definitely up to no good!

Nah, she's sweet as pie....they had their first child last year and the second one is due in the middle of ice fishing season, so she (and he) knows that he will be on lockdown at home at least until May 1, at which time he will be given another short reprieve.

If you know the area and have good spots to hunter have hunted in the past...just Google a good hotel or even camping resort in the area ...they sometimes have campers to rent and this time of years things have slowed down due to school...want to do this before prime fall foliage....You could also search with other state DNR's and camp sites  just a thought.

If you plan to stay close to home why not use a tent and make a weekend of it. Just go to one your normal spots that you know and set up a camp?

Rob. That idea is one we are thinking about. I love the outdoors, but I've only slept in a tent 2 times in my life. But it is his birthday....
