EVO takes USFWS federal compliance seriously. Here's what you need to know:
Tagging Your Birds - Each bird you shoot is YOUR possession—tagged individually with your name, signature, address, phone number, species, and date harvested - EVO supplies tags free of charge - One tag per bird, every hunt day
Cleaning Your Birds - Birds must be cleaned with at least one wing attached for legal identification - EVO provides a Bird-Hitch H2 cleaning station for DIY cleaning - Optional: EVO can clean birds for you (must reserve and pay in advance) - Cleaned birds stay fresh for one week on ice
Transportation - You're responsible for transporting birds home or legally gifting them - Gift tags must be properly filled out - Can't possess more than the daily bag limit in your vehicle
"Our number one priority is to provide our guests with a safe, legal and successful hunting experience."
Private Hunts & Gundogs Waterfowl hunters with private hunt reservations may bring their own gundog to hunt with upon request and approval. Call Captain Bryce after booking if you plan to bring a dog.
Decoy Setup All hunters may be asked to help set up, pick up, or adjust decoy spreads if physically able. Most guests enjoy participating in this part of the hunt.
Fishing: Catch & Release Fishing charters are primarily catch-and-release. If you want to keep fish, bring your own cooler. The captain does not clean or fillet fish after the trip. Lake trout over 10 lbs are thrown back as part of trophy conservation—EVO can take measurements and girth for replica fish mounts.
Trip Cancellations In the rare event EVO cancels a trip, they'll reschedule you or apply your deposit to another trip at a later date. Your safety and their compliance with federal law come first.
Guides are hardworking and depend on tips as part of their income. Review customary gratuity guidelines before your trip.
Bryce Collins is a USCG Captain (license #4457) and New York State guide. He personally handles all bookings and trip coordination.
