SASKATCHEWAN GEESE/DUCKS
SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER $2100

This outfitter operates in central Saskatchewan near the famous Quill Lakes area, well known for major flights of snow and blue geese, lesser Canadians and cacklers, sandhill cranes and many species of ducks. They operate out of a nice lodge with bird cleaning facilities and kennels are available for the hunter wanting to bring along his favorite retriever. Meals are home cooked with all the trimmings.

Typically you go out to field hunt the mornings out of layout blinds. Back to the lodge for lunch and a short nap and then back out for more geese or ducks either in one of the many nearby swamps or field shoot some mallards.  Ducks can include redheads, canvasbacks, green and blue winged teal, shouvlers, widgeons, pintails and gadwalls. They use over 350 full body snow and blue geese decoys, along with some Canadian greater and lesser decoys.  Daily limits of up to 20 geese and 8 ducks per day, along with some sandhill cranes keeps your day interesting. Hunts are normally conducted late September and early October and packages are either 3 days that include 3 morning shoots and 2 evening shoots priced at $2,100 or 5 days for 5 mornings and 4 evenings at $3,000. Price includes lodging, meals, guide, decoys and blinds. Not included are shells, $145 license, bird cleaning or 5% GST tax. Shells can be ordered ahead of time at the local sporting goods store near the operation. Hunters fly into Saskatoon or Regina and rent a car for the 2 hour drive to the lodge. HCU’s Cliff Graham and some friends have hunted with this outfit.
