I've heard this Manitoba Canada goose hunt described as a blue collar hunt, but aside from the very reasonable cost it's far from that.  You get alot for what you pay. Lots of geese and ducks, with several different opportunities of hunting them.  Good equipment, good guiding and scouting, and good land to hunt makes it a favorite destination for a no-frills Canada waterfowl hunt where the bottom line is hunting success. We shot several sub-species of Canada geese - Richardson's, giants, interiors, lessers and at least one Taverner's, I believe. Majority were giants and interiors. Ducks were mostly mallards and pintails, but we did kill several gadwalls, wigeon, a couple of ringnecks. ~Pat Pitt, Oct 2009





I was hoping for a good goose hunt.  We had a great goose shoot instead.  The first day was awesome.  With only 3 hunters, we shot 60 snow geese, 9 Canadas and 18 ducks. In 30 plus years of duck hunting I have never seen anything like it. All I could think was that this was only day one! The last day ended with mallard limits including one band and a bonus honker. ~Jeff Stallings, Sep 2010

About the Area - Manitoba Canada Goose Hunts

The name Manitoba comes from the Cree words "Manitou bou," which mean "the narrows of the Great Spirit."   Manitoba is a huge province with comparably few residents but the people that do live there are renowned for their friendly, hospitable natures and diversity.  Located in the heart of Canada, Manitoba is easternmost prairie province in Canada, it covers about a quarter-million acres and 1.1 million residents. 

Renowned for dramatic landscapes, cultural tradition with warm and friendly people, Manitoba is recognized as the land of 100,000 lakes, a legacy of enormous Lake Agassiz, which covered much of the province after the glacial retreat.  Nearly 20 percent of its agriculture is dedicated to wheat production; thousands of acres of harvested or swathed grains sustain resident and migratory waterfowl.

Manitoba is one of the sunniest provinces in Canada. Two-thirds of Canada's 500-plus species of birds come here, drawn here by the waters.  Manitoba is a premier wildlife-watching destination with among the highest densities of moose, elk and black bear.   The abundance and diversity of waterfowl that migrates through Manitoba during the fall months captivates the hearts of wingshooters during Manitoba Canada goose hunting vacations. Tired shoulders, big smiles in Manitoba.

Bird Processing - Manitoba Canada Goose Hunts

Bird Cleaning is not included in the cost of the no-meals plan  Manitoba Canada Goose Hunt package. Bird processing fees are $4 per duck or goose.  For hunters that clean their own birds, a $50 per person storage and transportation fee will be assessed.

USFWS statutes regarding transportation of migratory game birds are carefully followed:

"Our father-son Canada goose hunt was everything you said it'd be.  Nick and I had a wonderful time.  We have been hunting together since he was 5 when he shot his 1st deer.  He was 8 when we started duck hunting together.  He has killed over 40 deer, lots of ducks, doves, pheasants and chuckers, but this was his 1st official Canada goose hunt and it was all we could ask for.  We hunted all the different species of geese and shot lots of ducks, including divers.  Fondest memories were when Nick shot his first 3.5-inch shell, and wwatching him try to hold 4 Giant Canadas for a photo.  When Nick shot a banded blue goose, it was like seeing Santa Claus.   We definitely plan on making Canada goose hunting an annual trip."

One morning the geese were stacked up over us like I have never seen.  Three days with a limits of ducks, including my first banded! Ramsey provided everything we needed. GetDucks is great to work with."

"Thank you for a truly remarkable Canada duck hunting experience.  From the ease of booking the trip, to the final pulling of the trigger on the last day, there is nothing I would ask to be changed about the whole package.  I can honesly say it was the most enjoyable duck hunting and goose hunting I can ever remember.  Every day and every setup was completely different, which as a hunter I thought was great.  The constant theme for the week was tons of shooting and endless good times by all.  Thanks again, and please reserve my spot for another great Canada waterfowl hunt next year."

Great trip from start to finish! Getducks.com layed out all the pre-hunt checklist and travel documentation, and Ramsey and Anita answered all questions.  Makes booking great trips like this very easy. The guide worked relentlessly to find and put us on the birds. As a result, the hunting was great. The lodging and food was top-notch. Had great hunts morning and afternoon.  At the lodge enjoyed great meals and great company of other hunters and our hosts. Great atmosphere all the time!
