Wing N Fin Outfitters is two guides, a working dog, and two regions under the Pacific Flyway.
Wing N Fin Outfitters is a small guided-hunting operation run by Doug Smith and Eli Bailey, working the Columbia Basin out of Moses Lake and the Idaho Panhandle around Coeur d'Alene.
We guide duck, goose, and dove hunts for people who have done it all their lives and people who have never done it at all. The morning is the same for both: a scouted spot, a real spread, a working dog, and a guide who would rather be nowhere else.
Guide · Central Washington and North Idaho
Doug has hunted waterfowl his whole life and has spent the last six seasons guiding. It shows in the details: where the birds want to be that morning, how the spread should sit, when to call and when to stay quiet. He runs a hunt that's organized and safe without feeling stiff, and he's as comfortable coaching a first-timer through their first flight as he is setting up a group of seasoned hunters. Ask him anything about the morning ahead. He'll give you a straight answer.

Guide · Central Washington and North Idaho
Eli has hunted waterfowl his whole life and has spent the last four seasons guiding professionally. He's an expert caller with a deep read on how ducks move and pattern through the season, so the spread is set where the birds want to be before you arrive. He brings the same patience to a first-time hunter as he does to a seasoned group, making sure everyone in the blind knows what's happening and gets a fair shot. Easy to hunt alongside, and serious about doing it right.
Ask Eli (509) 731-5067A retriever does the one part of the morning no hunter can: finding the bird and bringing it back, in cold water or standing corn. Ours work every hunt we run, and they are as much a part of the crew as the guides.
Griz has been in training since he was a pup and has spent all three of his years learning the job. He sits steady in the blind, marks the birds, and does the wet work so you don't have to.
The spot is chosen after the scouting, not before. If the birds move, so do we.
Muzzles, zones of fire, and the dog. The same briefing every morning, for everyone, every time.
Nobody is born knowing how to hunt waterfowl. Say you are new and the morning gets planned around it.
We do not promise limits. We promise a scouted spot, a real setup, and a guide who works at it.
Tell us your dates and your group. One of us will be in the blind with you.
