Western Alberta Canada Goose Hunts
Located in the breeding and staging grounds of southwestern Alberta, this package offers possibly the very best duck hunt in Canada. While this pothole country hatches many ducks each spring, many Canada geese and mallards overwinter in this particular area. Quality duck hunting typicsally lasts well through late-November.
Expansive harvested grain fields, an abundance of small lakes and rivers, six large, irrigation reservoirs, relatively low hunting pressure and a surprisingly temperate, warm, "Chinook effect" in the lee of the Canadian Rockies dramatically coalesce to make this hunting area a top Canada duck hunt producer. For certain, there's not a more beautiful place to hunt ducks on earth.
In addition to skillful waterfowl guides, this outfitter brings 20 years proven experience. Only recently have a few seasonal openings developed due to a few clients that are no longer to make their long-time, annual Alberta Canada duck hunt.

Quality hunting opportunities for Canada geese and ducks, especially mallards, abound. Ducks eagerly decoy to small spreads of full-body taxidermied geese. Great upland bird hunting for Hungarian partridge, ruffed grouse and sharp-tail grouse are available afternoon options.
Canada goose hunts in well-scouted grain fields where it's completely common to shoot decoying mallards. Duck hunting over small potholes that have been watched closely and carefully protected ensures sure-enough decoying mallard action. Giant Canada geese and greenheads define this hunt, and it only gets better well after waterfowl have evacuated other parts of Canada.
Hunters are lodged in a pleasant B&B, which provides unrivaled convenience and comfort in beautiful settings: rustic, three level, A-frame cabin with 2 bathrooms and three bedrooms that can sleep a total of 17. A big living room, with piano and T.V. and a large wrap-around deck are among its comfortable features. All meals are provided during your stay.
Timing
High-quality Alberta Canada goose hunting from early-September through mid-December. Peak dates mid-October through early-November.
Rates
$2,200 plus 5% GST for 3-day (6 hunts) Southwestern Alberta Canada goose hunting. Longer trips can be arranged. Minimum 4 hunters.

About the Area - Alberta Canada Goose Hunting

the most beautiful corner of the province of Alberta, the Southwest
is a place where the golden prairie rolls up to meet the Rocky
Mountains. Under the big western sky, a host of authentic Canada
experiences and discoveries await. A strong sense of
community prevails among friendly residents. This part of
Alberta Canada boasts the best weather of the Prairie Provinces,
including the highest number of sunlight hours in Canada.

Western Alberta Canada goose hunting is a memorable treat.
