Maine Sea Duck Hunting

Thornehead Guide & Travel Inc. provides Waterfowlers opportunities to take Common Eiders, Northern Eiders, Surf Scoters, Black Scoters, White Winged Scoters, and Longtails. A combination of rugged winter weather, spectacular coastal scenery, and an abundance of waterfowl makes Maine a hunter's paradise. We sea duck hunt from ledges and lay-out boats using the best equipment available. Our many years of water fowling experience enable us to provide you with a memorable and unique experience hunting these beautiful birds in a forbidding environment. Hunters can take Eiders, Long tails, and Scoters in the same day. From October through January we hunt these unique sea ducks that gather in large numbers along our rocky coastline. This provides a challenging and exciting water fowling experience for those who are equipped to pursue them. Gunning these sea ducks fulfill any water fowlers need for a new and different hunting experience.

On multiple day hunts we employ a variety of sea duck hunting methods. One day we may hunt sea ducks from one-man layout boats, on another, from ledges and on another from our tender boat. All three methods have proven to be rewarding and successful, providing abundant opportunities at these trophy sea ducks.

We use safe, up-to-date marine safety equipment that is inspected yearly by the U.S Coast Guard. Our twenty foot sea duck hunting boat is equipped with a reliable Yamaha four-stroke engine, GPS, sonar, VHF, cellular phone, and all the required U.S. Coast Guard safety equipment. We also use one-man Bankes layout boats for a truly unique sea duck hunting experience.

Our sea duck hunts for Eiders, Long tails, and Scoters is truly world class. Our abundant population of these sea ducks provides hunters with a rare gunning opportunity like no other.
