Experience premier Wyoming waterfowl hunting right from the doorstep of Drake Lodge. Nestled along the scenic banks of the legendary Bighorn River, our lodge offers unmatched access to some of the finest duck and goose hunting in the state. With several blinds located directly on the river, you can step outside and be in your hunting spot within minutes. Guests are welcome to hunt independently or enjoy a fully guided experience with our knowledgeable guides and trained retrievers. Bring your own dog if you’d like — we’re happy to host four-legged hunting partners too.

Prime Waterfowl Habitat

The Bighorn River is a tailwater fishery, meaning it stays open long after other waters freeze. That open water keeps large numbers of migrating ducks and geese in the area throughout the season. You can expect to encounter species such as:

· Mallards

· Gadwall

· Wigeon

· Teal

· Shovelers

· Pintail

· Goldeneye

· Canada Geese

When the temperatures drop and the migration is in full swing, the action can be incredible. Flocks working the river, the sound of wings overhead, and the beautiful Wyoming landscape all combine for a truly memorable hunt.

Comfort and Convenience

While we can’t guarantee limits, we do guarantee comfort and hospitality. After a morning in the blind, relax at our modern barn-style lodge with warm meals, cozy accommodations, and everything you need just a short walk from the river. Whether you’re here with friends, family, or your trusty retriever, Drake Lodge on the Bighorn River offers an authentic and rewarding waterfowl hunting experience in the heart of Wyoming.

Book your stay today and discover why hunters return to the Bighorn year after year for unforgettable Wyoming waterfowl hunts.

Upland Hunts / Preserve & Dog Training Hunts

Drake Lodge offers exclusive preserve-style upland bird hunts on our private 60 acres of pristine river-bottom habitat. Guests may hunt over our expertly trained dogs or bring their own to experience the thrill of a classic upland pursuit. The property features a diverse landscape of open fields and thick cover, supporting both released birds and a naturally sustaining population of wild pheasants.

Upon request, we can release pheasants, chukar, or quail, depending on seasonal availability. Whether you prefer a guided hunt with one of our seasoned handlers or the satisfaction of working your own dog, each outing is tailored to provide a refined and memorable experience.

All preserve hunts take place right here on the property, allowing you to step directly from a hearty lodge breakfast into the field—or to complement a morning of waterfowl hunting with an afternoon upland adventure.
