S2 Outfitters

S2 Outfitters operates professionally guided duck and goose hunts across Oregon's prime waterfowl habitat. With hundreds of thousands of ducks migrating up and down the Pacific Flyway, they've built their reputation on consistent, well-managed hunts and expert field craft.

• •Duck Hunts - Specializing in shooting ducks "feet down" from beginning to end. Their properties are managed specifically for consistent hunting throughout the season.

• •Permit Zone Goose Hunts - They focus on the premium experience of permit zone hunting with flocks of lessers and cacklers swarming decoys—something only serious waterfowl hunters fully appreciate.

Eric Strand, the head guide, is known as one of the best duck and goose callers around. He reads bird behavior across all weather conditions and has developed strong instincts about where flocks will be and how they'll respond. The operation treats clients like guests rather than transaction numbers.

"Eric runs a true first class operation. He is very forthcoming about the hunt conditions, birds and weather. There are no oversold unrealistic expectations." — Mart Liesengang, S2 Outfitters client

"Quality guide work and plenty of birds lead to limits of both ducks and geese... The birds just kept landing around us without a care in the world." — Ryan McKone, S2 Outfitters client

Their hunting properties are actively managed with an eye toward sustainability and long-term quality. This approach ensures consistent hunts throughout the season rather than burning out good spots early. They also have access to additional properties beyond their core managed ground.

Clients report six-plus seasons returning for the same reason: S2 knows where to find birds, how to call them in, and they make it fun—even when the easy shots get missed.
