Here’s your guide to booking your first hunt with us. Grab your camo, and let’s get started.
Explore Incredible Hunting Experiences
The adventure begins on the BirdDog homepage. Use the search bar or browse through our curated categories—like Whitetail, Exotic Species, or Upland Birds—to find your perfect hunt.
Not sure where to start? Each listing includes detailed descriptions of the property, the game species available, and amenities like lodging and meals. It’s like having a hunt concierge at your fingertips.
Customize Your Hunt
Every hunt is different, just like every hunter. Once you’ve found an experience you love, dive into the details. Select your package options, which might include choices for the type of game, lodging preferences, or additional add-ons like a guide or chef-prepared meals.
For groups, you can customize packages per guest, ensuring everyone gets exactly what they’re looking for. Whether it’s a solo outing or a father-daughter weekend in the woods, BirdDog helps tailor the experience.
Invite Your Crew (or Go Solo)
Got a group of hunting buddies? Once you book, you’ll have the option to invite them to your hunt directly through the app. If you’re flying solo, no problem—many of our properties are perfect for individual hunters, with landowners ready to provide personalized support.

Booking through BirdDog is straightforward and secure. Choose your dates, review your package summary, and complete checkout with flexible payment options, including Affirm and Klarna for those big bucket-list trips.
After booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details you need to start planning. Pro tip: Check out the app’s “Upcoming Bookings” section for easy access to your hunt itinerary.
Prepare for the Hunt
The prep is half the fun! BirdDog sends reminders and tips leading up to your hunt, so you’ll know exactly what to pack, where to go, and what to expect. Many properties even offer direct communication with the host, so you can ask questions or share special requests.

Tax season is a critical planning period for landowners, especially those who have recently acquired agricultural land or are actively managing cropland, rangeland, or timberland. One of the most impactful — and often misunderstood — tax opportunities available is Section 180 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, specifically through Residual Fertility deductions.
Late-season duck hunting can be one of the most challenging—and rewarding—times of the year. By January, ducks have migrated thousands of miles, survived multiple hunting seasons, and encountered nearly every decoy spread and calling sequence imaginable. These birds are smarter, more cautious, and far less forgiving of mistakes.
For many landowners, winter feels like the slow season. Hunting seasons wind down, fishing slows, and day-to-day ranch or property work often takes a back seat. But in reality, winter is one of the most productive and strategic times of the year to make improvements to your land—especially if you manage your property for hunting, fishing, or outdoor recreation.
