Kayak Guys was created to help duck hunters spend less time sorting through marketing claims and more time hunting. We aim to be a trusted resource for duck hunting gear, honest reviews, and practical advice.
Our team of writers have decades of waterfowl hunting experience. I'm Marcus, the primary editor of Kayak Guys. I have spent years chasing ducks across various states, zones, rivers, lakes, and marshes. My approach to hunting has changed over the years, from being excited just to shoot at a duck, to chasing limits, and now prioritizing time outdoors and introducing others.
There is something special about waterfowl hunting, it's a tradition. It was passed down to me from my grandparents and parents, and I hope to share that same passion with the next generation. Whether that means introducing someone to their first hunt or sharing what I've learned through the articles on this website, my goal is to help more people discover and enjoy everything that makes waterfowl hunting so special.
How Gear Is Reviewed
My recommendations are based on hands-on experience whenever possible, along with extensive research and feedback from other experienced hunters.
Duck hunting isn't one-size-fits-all. In some cases, I recommend products that I haven't personally used because they're better suited to a specific hunting style or situation than the gear I own. I won't recommend an inferior product simply because it's what I use.
I use my hunting gear across a wide range of situations:
- Public walk in hunting where carrying in gear can be a real challenge
- Lakes and marshes with boating access
- Kayaks for transportation and layout blinds
- Motorized boats for transportation and hunting blinds
- Private land with vehicle access
My gear gets used heavily all season long, from early season teal hunts where temps can reach 90+, to late season hunts over ice. I prioritize gear that is durable, cost-effective, and reliable year after year.

How Kayak Guys Makes Money
Kayak Guys participates in affiliate programs. If you purchase a product through one of the links on this website, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support the website and allow me to share free information for duck hunters.
Affiliate partnerships never determine which products are recommended. In many cases I link directly to the manufacturer when no affiliate programs are available.
