We have a seven-week timeframe in which we will accommodate hunters
(Sept.17/07 – Nov. 3/07). Each week has its own attributes; the
earlier weeks usually offer the best Sandhill Crane hunting, while the
later weeks quite often offer the best duck hunting. There are generally
lots of geese here through the entire season and the upland hunting
is quite consistent as well. While some days are better than others,
in 2005 and 2006 we had great hunting right through the season with
no slow weeks to speak of.
Bag limits:
• 8 dark geese daily(only 3 white-fronts) and 16 possession limit(6
white-fronts)

Firearm Regulations
The Federal Government’s firearm regulations require hunters to
fill out a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration Form (CAFC 909) which we
will send to all our clients in advance (can also be downloaded from
this website). Most of our hunters fax this in and get pre-approved
which also helps to expedite the process at the airport. This isn’t
available if you are driving up in which case you will get approved
at the border crossing. This temporary license (valid for 60 days) costs
$25 Cdn. It can be paid with Canadian cash, Visa, MasterCard, or American
Express while clearing customs. I am pleased to report that our clients
had no hassles or delays with this process last fall and were finished
in mere minutes.
