That’s why I love these hunts- wild birds, wild environment, just as it was 100 years ago. In our opinion there is absolutely nothing that can compare to daylight in a curtain blind with groups of 100-500 redheads and pintails decoying at 10-15 yards. Hundreds of thousands of waterfowl winter on the Pamlico sound, with the reefs behind Ocracoke and Hatteras serving as home to a vast majority of the pintails and redheads that travel to NC.

All hunts are based out of the Berkley Manor on the Outer Bank’s Ocracoke Island.ĭuck Hunting on the Pamlico Sound behind the banks is different than many types of hunting you will experience. The list below explains the various styles you could experience while hunting with us.

Under normal conditions this is a very effective hunt method due to its low profile, but sometimes conditions dictate other hunt methods. Our primary hunt method is the curtain blind or “sink box” as the old timers call it. We employ a wide array of duck hunting methods in order to provide quality hunts for our guests. We offer all-inclusive duck hunting packages based out of Ocracoke, NC. Berkley Outdoors is proud to offer one of the most unique duck hunting experience available in the USA. This legal option is only available if the culprit can be identified.If you are looking for a North Carolina duck hunting guide service, look no further.

But you may hunt within those waters using a portable temporary blind erected in water, as long as you remove the blind at the end of each hunt.

So it's against the law to build a blind within park jurisdiction, including the spoil islands within this area. Park officials will provide GPS coordinates and Google Earth maps upon request. The northern boundary starts roughly where cabins on Padre Island end. There should be signs posted to designate the boundary. Regarding the Padre Island National Seashore, hunting from a stationary blind or spoil island is prohibited roughly from the eastern edge of the ICW to the island southward from the park boundary to Baffin Bay. If you plan to set a blind on or near a spoil island anywhere, I suggest you not shoot in the direction of a navigational channel such as the Intracoastal Waterway or the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. Game wardens are not sure who built or destroyed these blinds. It's unclear whether these structures were above the mean high tide line, which would put them on the King Ranch. But there is a problem area of the Laguna Madre just south of the electric plant called Hog Slough, where blinds in recent years have been destroyed.
