Our Favorite Geese Places

Bassano - AB

For late season Canada Goose, try the area around Bassano, Alberta. The water stays open around the Bosano Dam and several flocks stick around until late December if the the snow cover is light enough so that the geese can still find food.

Kerrobert - SK

Lots of geese.  Kerrobert is on one of the major flyways and you sure can tell in the fall.  Often you can spot up to 10 separate flocks of several hundred birds at the same time.

Saskatoon - SK

The South Sask and North Sask rivers usually have enough current in late fall to keep them clear of ice through November.  This keeps some of the geese around for a late season shoot.  This year, 2002, I have seen flock of 10 (many) to 200 (few) all the way up to Dec 1.  They don't range far, no more than a couple of kms from open water.

 

Winnipeg - MB

Just South of Winnipeg, in the many grain fields, the Canada's come to feed.  Daytime and at night they like the many small ponds and man-made lakes in the city then cruise a few miles out to the fields in the morning and evening to feed.

 

Westburne - MB

Lots of Snow Geese and Canada Geese this morning (Oct 12, 2002).

 

Wynyard - SK

There's lots of natural blinds and bush surrounding the many ponds and small lakes and sloughs.  Bring plenty of ammo.  Make sure you know your bag limits!  You'll fill 'em.

 

Youngstown - AB

Get up early in the morning and lie low behind some well set up bales in the fields.  Make sure you have a few decoys set up as well.  They will land in an occupied field more readily than an empty field.  You only need about 6 decoy to convince them to land.

 

Lanigan - SK

East of town you'll find flocks of hundreds of Canada's and Snow Geese.  Many Mallards around as well.

 

Davidson - SK

The big Snows really seem to gather up around Davidson in mid-October.  

 

Colonsay - SK

At any given time, you can see up to 10 separate flocks, each with 50 to 200 birds.

 

Anywhere - SK

In early September, and through to freeze over, when the geese start to travel south, you can find them in almost any field within 10-15 kms of any sizeable body of water.  For the real hot spots, find a major flight path, such as the Swift Current to Kindersley corridor.  North & south of Regina is also very promising.

Saskatoon - SK

Just got back from a morning field shoot with my golden retriever Bones. We knocked down six big Canada's but we only came home with 4. The four were adult birds and the largest weighing in at 10.5 pounds a good weight for this time of the year. I had four dozen shell decoys out and was using SuperMagnum decoy to hide in. I had some big Canada's land only 20 yards from me so  it was a great morning. I called that flock right in and then missed with my first shot. I am once again not  happy with the steel shot but I will have to get used to it. I knocked two more big birds down only to have them get up and fly away when the dog approached them the geese are not even well feathered yet. I am shooting the remington 3" shells loaded with BB, I thought that it would have the knock down power I guess I was wrong with those two geese the other  three were stone dead. I had to ring one neck. I would like to hear from other people from Saskatchewan that have been out. I know that it
is early but any info would be appreciated.
