New York Snow Goose Hunting
|
Starting in March 2012, Del Bay Guide Service will follow the spring migration up to upstate new York extending our gunning into early April.
We hunt these wintering snow geese just about every day starting in late October thru mid- March when the birds start to migrate north. Nobody knows better than us as to when the snow geese are leaving the Delmarva Peninsula. The birds make a quick stop in PA then head north about 330 miles to the Lake Champlain area of New York.
Lake Champlain Valley is the last major staging area before heading north to Quebec. Upwards of 100,00 snow geese sometimes stage here. Lake Champlain is a large lake- 125 miles long and 14 miles at its widest point (bigger than the entire state of Delaware) and with its bordering farms make it ideal area for a stopover on the migration north. We will be hunting this area during the conservation season which is from March 11 –April 5. |

*NEW* The Inn at Marshtown *NEW* |
The lodge is available to accommodate up to 8 people comfortably. We can arrange meals or additional beds for more guests. Our farmhouse-style hunting lodge is exactly what you see….a hunting lodge! The lodge is very private in a rural area of Kent County. It is very clean and comfortable with everything you need to make your stay with us as good as it can be!
 Our lodge features:
· Three seperate bedrooms
· Huge Living Room
· Dining Room
· Full Service Kitchen
· Heat, Central AC and ceiling fans
· Satellite Television/DVD/Stereo
· Covered Screened Deck
· Non Smoking environment
It is just right for that time to relax after a good days hunt to enjoy time spent with friends or a good ball game! Or, to enjoy that midday nap after your hunt. Either way, our lodge has a great outdoor atmosphere and has that “lived in” style to it that cannot be matched. The lodge is in the heart of the flyway, next to the Bombay Hook Federal Wildlife Refuge on a large privately owned farm. Look out over the fields and out the second floor across the marsh to the Delaware River. It is located of Route 9 on the east side of Dover Delaware. The lodge is available to clients of Delbay Guide Service at the reduced rate of $350.00 per night for the entire house. This rate includes a continental breakfast with coffee before your hunt. To book you stay, please call Jerry at 800-500-7640. |

Del Bay replaces two duck blinds in South Jersey |
|
We have replaced two of our current old duck blinds with two new larger ones - 6 ft x 16 ft. These plywood blinds are also set a few feet off the marsh to keep everything dry on a flood tide and are also deep enough to keep us out of the weather.Our harvest is generally blacks, mallards, teal and wood ducks. Season goes from Oct. 15 - Jan. 5.

New Farms for Canada Goose Hunting in Maryland and Delaware |
|
In Delaware, we now have 14 farms along the Delaware Bay. These large farms are located near the 17,000 acre Bombay Hook National Wildligfe Refuge. All are planted in corn or soybeans. Kent County usually winters 40,000 -50,000 Canada geese.
In Maryland, we now have 14 farms in Kent County and 4 farms in Cecil County. All of these farms have or have nearby roost ponds and the Chesapeake Bay which hold large numbers of wintering Canada geese. The mid-winter count for 2011 was 397,000 geese of which a large majority are in Kent County.
