Stuart's Hunting Lodge has been running Currituck Sound waterfowl hunts since the 1980s — bush blinds and float blinds in skinny water for canvasbacks, redheads, pintails, buffleheads. Pre-dawn coffee, decoys set in the dark, sunrise on a flooded marsh you have entirely to yourself. Lodge dinners are home-cooked: country ham, biscuits, fish stew. Decompression: drive south down NC-12 through Hatteras for fish tacos at Tortugas' Lie in Nags Head before the flight back.
