FAQs - Common Questions About Hunting in Alberta
Why should we choose Northern Winds Outfitting for your Alberta waterfowl hunt?
Our area in Alberta holds the very first grain fields in the central flyway, making the duck hunting and goose hunting absolutely incredible. We have multiple scouts on the road while we are in the field hunting, ensuring the next hunt is filled with clouds of Canada Geese, Specklebelly geese, Snow geese and/or ducks. Or plenty of shot opportunities during a spring snow goose hunt. We assure you our lodging is second to none and we will take care of your every need.
Can we add a hunt to the all-inclusive package?
Yes extra hunts are $650/person/hunt
Should we bring our own gun into Canada or rent from Northern Winds Outfitting?
It is getting increasingly harder to get guns across the Canadian border so we recommend renting shotguns for $50/day to avoid issues.
Will you take small groups such as 1-2 hunters?
Yes, if you don’t have a full group (5 or more) we often put 2 small groups together to make a full group. If you don’t want to hunt with another group and you have less than 5, you must pay the equivalent of 5.
