Elk Chute Lodge

Trek Safaris presents a three-day hunting program combining one of the best duck outfitters in the Bootheel region of Missouri in Marshall Pearson and the premier waterfowl property in Elk Chute Lodge. The lodge is nestled in the epicenter of the southern most portion of Southeast Missouri, bordering one of the nation’s oldest refuges, Big Lake National Wildlife Refuge, that can hold hundreds of thousands of ducks anytime throughout the season. Along with bordering Big Lake, we are sitting between several major refuges on the Mississippi Flyway that gives us the opportunity to see thousands of migrating waterfowl on any given day.

Our prime location ensures that we will typically always have a large concentration of ducks on or around our hunting properties. Your guided hunt you will involve hunting flooded rice and soybean fields along with private timber in large, comfortable pits/ blinds for coveted species such as mallards, scaup, wood ducks, hooded mergansers, redheads, pintails and canvasback. Your hunting location will have an extensive, permanent decoy spread that help us draw the attention of the migrating waterfowl crossing us each day. Additionally you could hunt rice, corn, soybean, moist soil fields scattered all throughout Southeast Missouri, or privately flooded timber tracts.

Your hunting days will typically starting with a 5 a.m. breakfast, and you’ll be out the door before first light for the 10-15 minute drive to the duck blinds. You will hunt until noon or so or until you reach your daily limit. Lunch is typically served around 1 p.m., and one afternoon during your adventure, you’ll enjoy a specklebelly goose hunt. Dinners are also included included in the price of this adventure.
