OUTDOORSMAN.COM OUTFITTER OF THE MONTH - JANUARY 2009

Canada geese, Snow geese and Speckled geese stop in Alberta to fuel up for their long flight south and Mallard ducks, Pintails and Widgeons stage in the thousands in the peace parklands. Our hunting area in McLennan, Alberta is indisputably one of the premier waterfowl hunting areas in North America! According to the Head Biologist of North Western Alberta, McLennan, Alberta is the premier waterfowl location in the Peace Country. McLennan, The Bird Capital of Canada, is located on Kimiwan Lake. Recorded counts in excess of 26,000 migratory birds per day use Kimiwan Lake during migratory season.

We are committed to managing our number of guided waterfowl hunters to ensure that hunters who book with us will have excellent Alberta guided duck and goose hunting throughout their stay. Our waterfowl hunters will be happy with a solid effort and a well organized, well run guided hunt. We are committed to a policy of 100% "fair chase" and stress principles and ethics above all else.

A Typical Hunt Day ...early to bed...early to rise. Morning: Please expect to be up early, our days start at 4:00 a.m. providing an opportunity to see the northern lights while enjoying a light meal. The morning goose and duck hunt is exhilarating. Thousands of Canada, Speckled and Snow geese and numerous varieties of ducks including Mallards, Pintails and Widgeons, fill the skies from early September to late October providing some awesome hunting opportunities. There is no shortage of waterfowl and these birds rarely shy from the decoys and blinds we set up. Our blinds are extremely comfortable and allow for a great line of sight.

Afternoon: Good food will have us over eating and sharing some hunting stories when we return from the morning hunt. After brunch you can relax, stretch your legs with a nature walk, grab a nap, or visit until it is time to head out for the evening shoot.

Evening Hunts: If you haven't already reached your daily limit, the evenings are spent field hunting and pass shooting ducks and geese. With a very wide variety of waterfowl species in this area, you may have quite a mixed bag. After the evening hunt you will return to your accommodations for your evening meal and wind down from an exhausting day of hunting.

When you hunt with us, you'll know why our Alberta waterfowl hunting is some of the best offered anywhere. If you want the ultimate guided Canada goose, Speckled goose, Snow goose and duck hunting adventure, please contact us for more information or to book your next goose & duck hunt in Alberta.
