Imagine, laying back in a small, but stable layout boat at about the level of the water with strings of decoys in front of you. When the time is right, you sit up, anticipate which direction the ducks are flying, take aim, and let loose. There are only a handful of waters that a waterfowl hunter can layout boat hunt in Minnesota. Lake of the Woods is one of them. With it’s many islands and strong migration of diver ducks in the fall, this style of hunting is something unique, offers adventure and will test even the most avid shooter’s accuracy.

Layout boat hunting for waterfowl is offered currently up at the NW Angle of Lake of the Woods. This area provides strong numbers of ducks, lots of islands and shoreline to stay out of the wind on windy days and the opportunity to mix in some fishing with your hunting, ultimately labeled a cast and blast.
