Our professional guides know how to set decoys and stubble blinds to make the spread look as real as possible.  Our calling is second to none and can really finish birds.  Our guides are personable, funny, love talking waterfowling, and really love getting people into birds - lots of birds!  We pre scout all our fields and always put you on the X.

We are on the Pro-Staff for Dave Smith Decoys, Taylor Decoys, Foiles Migrators, Sitka Gear, and Hevi Shot.  We love gear, and only use the very best.

Doug Massig

Doug has been pursuing his love of the outdoors since he was young. He spends most of the year outside guiding goose and duck hunting, fly fishing, ice fishing, and bird watching. When he’s not guiding, he travels the world chasing the migration and pursuing Bonefish and Salmon on the fly.

He remembers his first day waterfowl hunting, and how awesome it was to see birds on the horizon change direction towards the calling from beside him in the pit. Those birds came right in, magnificently soaring tip to tip. Doug knew after that first day that the art of setting up decoys, calling, and limiting out on birds while surrounded by good friends was his new passion. A passion that would lead him to pursuing geese almost every day of the season, and eventually to guiding and opening up his own company.

Doug had opened Bow River Fly Fishing Adventures, and wanted to start a hunting company to compliment the fishing. He visited Northern Alberta, and Saskatchewan, searching for the best hunting, while continuing to hunt around his home in Calgary, Alberta. He found time and time again that the hunting around Calgary was not only the best, but that the season was more than twice as long. This was due to the location of his summer passion. The Bow River runs through Calgary, and in Calgary, the river doesn't freeze, so birds have a place to roost all winter long. Coupled with the fact that Chinooks come over the mountains, routinely melting snow and exposing an unlimited food source - one of the best goose and duck hunting locations was born - with the best hunting within 30 minutes of the city limits and the International Airport.

Doug has a great sense of humor and has countless stories of birds, fish, people and experiences. He has had the pleasure of guiding thousands of wonderful people over the years, and has many clients that return every year to enjoy another season limiting out on birds in the fields around Calgary using the best decoys available today.
 

Andrew Dath

Born and raised in Ontario, Andrew Dath started bird hunting when he was 15, and since that first hunt, has done nothing but. Growing up in Ontario, he learned how to call geese from the best of the best. After receiving his Fish and Wildlife diploma, he worked for Delta Waterfowl for 3 summers learning everything there is to know about Ducks and Geese.

IAndrew recently came in second in both the one man and two man competitions at the 2010 Western Canadian Goose Calling Championships located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, blowing on his Foiles Migrators Market Hunter!

Andrew started his guiding career in Alberta in 2007, and quickly built a reputation for himself as knowing how to kill birds day in day out like nobody else.  He loves nothing more than finishing geese tight into the decoys, and being on the perfect duck shoot where you barely keep your gun loaded.

When Andrew's not guiding or following birds to hunt from California to Georgia, he trains his 2 labs and never sets down his goose call.  If his lifestyle wasn't enough, you can tell his passion for the sport when you see his DU tattoo, and the tattoo of a cupped duck centered on a maple leaf!

"The great thing about hunting with Massig's Migrators is the world class hunting in such a prime location - right next to Calgary and an international airport.  The ease of getting here and the huge numbers of migrating and local birds from Sept 8th to Dec 23rd, makes this not only one of the most client friendly locations in the world, but also offers the best, most consistent waterfowl hunting in all of Alberta. By using only the best equipment, we are able to kill birds, lots of birds, every day regardless of weather and hunting pressure.  We strive to have nothing but the newest and latest gear out there - and lots of it!"
