Snow Geese Hunt

By looking at the picture below, it looks like after picking up Steve in Montreal, we all got to see le Parc de la Jacques Cartier in full bloom. The 1200km from Waterloo to Lac St-Jean was done with a little stop over in Montreal. We can't really disclose the exact location of the hunt as this would be against house rules.

When we arrived at our secret location, it was clear that there were no snow geese and that the weather was shite.



Hunting is an early man's game. Here is Steve after we've set-up our decoy layout at 6am.
Below is a mock picture of Darin in the shooting position out of his lay-down blind. I would not risk missing a shot at some birds for a picture.


Peter (Pierre) wasn't super impressed after our poor start on Friday, but we did manage to get some birds.

Evidence of our harvest is pictured below with Steve's first bird of the weekend. Proud you ask?
We did our best to use as much straw as possible available around us to improve our lay-down blinds.

Here is a team picture after our Saturday morning shoot. After getting up at 4am, setting up close to 200 decoys among which were some remote control robot geese, and you can't help but mention the CD playing geese calling machine complete with 2 speakers aka Willie Lamotte.


Below is our fearless companion Nola. She spent the weekend retrieving, but most importantly you could here her come upstairs and wake us up in the middle of our deep sleeps.





What else can be said about a perfect hunting weekend with my father, great friends and most of all my uncle Claude who pours his heart and soul into making his experiences in hunting an experience for others. Thanks.
