Pacific Wings Prairie Outfitters Testimonials

We began looking for an outfitter in 2008 and after seeing Mike and Pacific Wings on TV decided to give him a call. Mike was very helpful in making arrangements for my father, three brothers and I. Upon booking we asked our other family members to come along and the group expanded to eleven including three cousins, two uncles and a father-in-law. We hunt Texas and Louisiana and have all guided for ducks and geese, some for more than forty years. We have made thousands of hunts and killed many birds. Our expectations of coming to Saskatchewan were high, but we were not prepared for all the birds we saw. The accommodations were great, the lodge was beautiful and comfortable. Dave and Sue are gracious hosts and wonderful cooks.

Our first morning was an action packed event, most of the hunting party had never seen that many specks in one place and only the old-timers in our group had ever been on a hunt where 33 were taken. Those along with a mixed bag of mallards and snows gave us 94 birds. We hunted that evening and took 17 mallards and 16 more geese. The custom lay out blind is amazing. It’s hard to hide 13 people from wary birds, but the specks snows and ducks never saw us. The evening hunts were in custom sets over beautiful spreads.

We helped put out decoys again on the second day and this time put out the custom white chairs, they are almost too comfortable to hunt in, with a nap threatening the hunt. We set out almost one thousand decoys and to our surprise had a world class duck shoot. The ducks and geese decoyed all morning and we enjoyed huge groups of ducks at close range. We finished the morning with 57 ducks and a pile of specks and mallards that evening.

The third day was back in the custom cabin, or lay out. Set up for us by Mike’s help, it was well hidden in a snow goose field. We started early and the geese just kept funneling down. We had groups of 100 or more at 20 feet four times with many more coming in. We all shot and had a great time. My uncle almost caught one by hand that landed on the blind, yes they were that close. We got 125 and had the best snow hunt of our lives.

Overall this trip was one filled with memories, all accentuated by Mike and his staff. We will all talk for many years about the things we have seen and the more than 400 birds we took in three days. You must do this before you die!

There are four things in my book that make a great hunt. One, birds in your face. Two would be the equipment. Three, one of a kind blinds. Lastly, awesome decoys that get the birds in your face. The accommodations that Pacific Wings provides are outstanding. The food is home cooked and the generosity of the Pacific Wings crew is incredible, it makes you feel like you’re right at home. I have been back to Pacific Wings in Saskatchewan three times and looking forward to my fourth trip next year. If you’re looking for a top quality and professionally guided goose hunting trip, look no farther then Pacific Wings, this is it. I thank Pacific Wings for an outstanding hunt and the experience!
