Calgary and area is home to some of the best Goose and Duck Hunting in
Alberta,
Canada, and the World! Our season goes from the beginning of September until the
end of December. When the geese have migrated south out of the
northern parts of Alberta due to cold weather, they come, hold, and often overwinter in Calgary
Alberta. The fact that warm Chinook winds melt the
snow in the grain and pea fields around Calgary, coupled with the fact
that the Bow River
remains open and unfrozen due to heat from the city, provides a perfect
resting and refueling destination for birds heading south. Many of
these birds like it here so much,
that tens of thousands of them stay all winter due to the abundance
of exposed food, warm chinook winds, and the city with the most sunny days in North America. There are lots of
birds on the river and many bodies of water in and around Calgary, and
there is very
little hunting pressure. Limiting out on big Alberta honkers in mid
December in less than an hour is very common. Our best hunting is
in the months of November and December!At Massig’s Migrators we pride ourselves on
giving you a trip of a lifetime. We can hunt over 75 quarter
sections and have access to a variety of ponds. We have professional
guides and use only the best equipment including only Dave Smith and
Taylor Decoys, Final Approach blinds, Foiles calls, Drake clothing,
Heavishot, and Benelli shotguns.
We offer
a variety of
3 and 6 day hunts, and offer single days for corporate team building
events or large groups. We also have many options in conjunction
with fly fishing including the "have your cake and eat it too" Cast and
Blast!
It’s a
crisp dark morning. You can hear the stubble crack underfoot as you
walk toward your blind from placing your last decoy. You hear a
whistling fly by overhead as light just starts to appear from the east.
The ducks are already flying, the geese will be soon. You pull your
calls from inside your coat and give a couple of practice honks. You
and your buddies get in your blinds and glance up as the snow capped
mountains begin to light up. You can see your entire spread and the
rest of the field, everything looks natural. You’ve been anticipating
this trip for months, it’s about to begin. You smile at your buddies
and remind everyone that you’ll be calling the shot today. Lock and
Load… You stop in mid sentence. Everyone perks up a bit as they know
you’ve heard the first flock of giant honkers lift off the water. You
and your guide give a couple loud greeting calls, a few casual clucks,
the birds have already committed.
They’re coming closer, some tumble to loose altitude, others talk to you, you reassure them they are
coming to the right field. They circle once to take a look; nobody
moves. All the preparation and practice has paid off; they swing
around and slowly glide down closer and closer to the stubble, right
into the hole - feet first… Its time… Take ‘Em!
Whether it's field hunting Giant Canada Honkers, jump shooting Ducks, or
floating the world famous Bow River for a Cast and Blast;
Massig's Migrators has
an Alberta Adventure for you.
