Best duck hunting guides in Northern California

[icallshotgun88]

have been duck hunting plenty of times but was thinking about setting up a guided trip with some friends..just to try something different than the refuges.

i was hoping to get a consensus on the "best" duck guides in Northern California...

I'm NOT looking for the cheapest or best deal, but for the best experience.

good location, good hunting, good food, good lodging maybe...etc., etc., etc.

also, if you've visited a guide that provided you with a bad experience, please share that as well

and if it was good, please share a little bit about why...

Can't say enough good things about Tuckers Guide Service.

Good rates, nobody can promise ducks, but he works his rear off to get them

Younger guy but he works hard. Lodging is up to you.

Cameron Tucker, hands down.

Yep, Tuck for the win.

Scott Marglin at Fowl Weather Guide Service was great for us. I've rented fully brushed blinds on fully deked ponds from him as well.

I have to say that I expected more horror stories about guides as well.

I could tell you about the time I went hunting with Lew, but right after the hunt, as we were walking to the truck, 3 black SUV's showed up, and made me sign paperwork swearing me to secrecy. Something to do with national security.
