Duck Hunting & Goose Hunting Testimonials
|
Canada geese, Snow geese and Speckled geese stop 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 waterfowl hunters to ensure that hunters who book with us will have excellent duck and goose hunting throughout their stay. Our waterfowl hunters will be happy with a solid effort and a well organized, well run hunt. We are committed to a policy of 100% "fair chase" and stress principles and ethics above all else. 
We are located in McLennan, Alberta on Kimwan Lake. Population of McLennan is approximately 900 people and it is the Bird Capital of Canada. The junction of the peace parkland and dry mixed wood natural regions and several flyways cross over or are near to Kimiwan Lake, which means that the area has rich and diverse bird communities. The current checklist is at 233 species of birds that have been seen within 15kms of Kimiwan Lake. Each morning and evening the lake is alive with the noise and activity of birds coming and going to feed. 
We hunt within a 60 mile (100km) radius of McLennan in the heart of the Peace Country. McLennan is surrounded by agricultural and the wheat, barley and pea crops provide the necessary ingredients needed to attract the migrating waterfowl. We are located in the Parkland mixture, which creates the ideal setting and nutrients needed for the migrating ducks and geese. Migrating waterfowl are naive about decoys and blinds as they enter the Peace Country, this is the beginning of when their migration enters active hunting zones.
McLennan has been our home base for nine years, we have developed good working relationships with the farmers in the area who welcome hunters due to the tremendous impact this many migrating geese and ducks have on their crops.

As a freelance writer for WILDFOWL and a lifelong enthusiast, I spend as much time as possible each fall on the Canadian prairies. It's been my good fortune these past two seasons to have hunted with Kevin McNeil and his Blue Sky Outfitters operation in Alberta's Peace Country. While the ducks and geese are plentiful and particularly cooperative in his neck of the woods; its Kevin's easy-going style that makes hunting with him such a pleasure. He'll put you in the birds to be sure, but it's the whole experience that'll make you happy. And Kevin will be quick to tell you, "If you're happy, then I'm happy". It's a simple motto, but one that's genuine. And that says a lot! |

 Just a note to you thank for the great hunting we had last week. We had an absolute blast. Not only was the hunting world class, but so were the accommodations. Your guest quarters are great! You work hard to assure your hunters great shooting & it pays off. The number of waterfowl we had working the spread was unreal! In almost 40 years of waterfowling I have never seen anything like it. Thanks again for the great hunting & hospitality, we will be back! Say hello to Raven. Kim Ward Reidsville, N.C. |

 I wanted to write and say thanks again. As you know from our hunt together, I live in Queen Anne's County Maryland. As a young boy, I was able to shoot divers on the Chester River, shoot puddle ducks in the fields, and have hunted through the good days of 3 birds and ninety days of goose hunting here. I have waterfowl hunted a great deal. I have never, ever experienced what I experienced with you on our hunt in Alberta. Print, pictures, or video can only give a snapshot of the experience. To be there, experience it firsthand with you, your family, and of course Raven is something I will always remember and always cherish. The sheer number of birds that is one thing. Your commitment to make sure that everyone enjoys the experience really sets you apart.Thanks for a wonderful experience. I will be back. All the best, Winston Chance Queen Anne's County Maryland |
