Goose and duck hunting takes place on some of the best private properties in Þingeyjarsýsla and Eyjafjörður. The hunting areas are variable where we offer both morning and evening hunting, depending on the hunters’ wishes. The hunters are accompanied by a guide the whole time and he picks the hunting areas and takes care of lining up fake birds as bait. A car and a cart for equipment and hunt are provided by the company as well as a great location equipped with everything needed to gut the game and it is even possible to vacuum wrap and freeze it.
Those two were proud after their morning hunt.
An example of a goose and duck hunting trip from Stöng in Mývatnssveit:
2 morning hunts and 1 evening hunt.
Thursday: For those who wish, it is possible to arrange for them to be picked up at Akureyri’s airport but arrival at Stöng is on a Thursday afternoon. A guide will then have checked out the hunting areas for the morning flight the following morning. Hunters settle in and then the evening hunt starts. The evening hunt is located near waters and rivers and therefore dogs are used to collect the hunt. After the evening hunt the equipment and game are put in place. After a light dinner it is time to go to bed since a morning hunt is planned the next morning.
Friday: At what time the morning hunt begins depends on when the sun rises. The hunters have to be at the hunting location before sunrise and have lined up the fake birds according to the guide’s directions. The hunt will go on no longer than noon but the guide will decide when the hunting shall stop. After a lunch the hunters relax for a while and then the game is put in place. Then the hunting area for the next morning is checked out and the placing of fake birds is decided.
Saturday: After a morning hunt the equipment and game is put in place. Then there is time for relaxation and activities, for example hunters could visit the nature baths located nearby called Jarðböðin við Mývatn. In Guesthouse Stöng’s comfortable dining room it is possible to get a three course meal where hunters can enjoy themselves and swap stories. For those who choose to spend the night in Akureyri there are many activities possible.
Sunday: the journey home begins.
This is only one idea for a hunting trip but the trips can be customised to the hunters’ wishes.
