Duck Hunting...

Hunters with ducks

We are uniquely located, half way up the east central side of Lake of the Woods. Sixty miles east of the Manitoba border and 70 miles noth from Minnisota.

Here, countless shallow back water bays and ponds offer the largest mass of wild rice found on any lake in northwestern Ontario. Very large numbers of mallards, blue wing teal, wood ducks and black ducks nest in these area’s.

Don’t let others try to fool you on Ontario ducks. We are the MAIN STAGING AREA for northern flights on their way south. No other lake can boast both the numbers and length of time the ducks will stay. We are a full day and nights flight from the far northern breeding and nesting grounds. Here they stop to feed on our lush food source, and preen for their continued flight south.

This is not a hit or miss situation! You’ll find no excuse’s here. We attract the northern flights of mallards, ring necks, buffle heads. Including major rafts of golden eye’s and blue bills. Our family has been in this area for over 75 year’s, and have catered to water fowler’s since our lodge was first established in 1946. We are not new to the hunt, and have catered to hunters from around the world. All our Pro Staff guides are professionally trained.

Grouse Hunting ...

Man on boat with grousePerhaps no finer eating bird with its plump, juicy white breast meat. Like nothing you’ve seen before with their unique wings and fan like tail enabling fast flight and lightning turns. Truly one of, if not the finest upland game birds ever. Certainly the fastest for its size. We are centrally located amongst the strongest populations of ruffled grouse in all of Canada. As well, there are nice pockets of both sharp tail and the very beautiful spruce grouse. There is nothing more picturesque than walking down a colorful autumn trail. On still, sunny mornings or afternoons, you hear the sounds of songbirds and other wildlife playing melodies for you. Then, suddenly, you’re startled by the thundering sounds of feathers beating in the still air. Your gun comes up...lightning in speed by this time your bird banks a hard 90 strait into the bush, get the picture! There are miles of logging trails, and we also have our own special trails, no need to walk through the thick bush here. A very relaxing style of upland game hunting with plenty of close range shots.

Men with grouseLimits are 5 per day, 15 in possession. As with any of our hunts, they are tailored to your group. Our upland game hunting is perhaps some of the finest in the world. Although some groups come exclusively for these birds, we can combined your grouse hunt with your duck hunt and fishing. Making for truly a most memorable fall trip ever.
