Modoc Waterfowl Outfitters

Modoc Waterfowl Outfitters specializes in fully guided hunts across the best game habitat in Modoc County. Owner and guide Brent Dolby has built the outfitter on direct experience—understanding game behavior, managing private ranches, and matching hunters with the right opportunities.

• •Waterfowl hunts for Canada geese, mallards, snow geese, and speckle belly
• •Upland game — California Valley quail
• •Big game — mule deer, antelope, and northeastern California bull elk
• •Predator hunts for coyote
• •Pre-season consulting including tag drawing strategy and zone selection
• •Packing trips into the Warner Mountains

Brent manages 20,000+ acres of private farmland across three deer zones (X2, X3A, X3B). He's particularly known for X2 hunts, which feature:

Fewer tags harvested than other zones, allowing bucks to reach full maturity

• •Stilt deer blinds — exclusive to their X2 operations, positioned for evening feeding patterns
• •Healthy deer herds on private ground (unlike public land)
• •Hunts booked for 3 days; most hunters harvest on day one or two

Antelope season: Two 9-day windows (late August and early September). Second period often features bucks in rut.

Elk hunts: Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hunt prime Modoc County elk country with an experienced guide.
