Lake of the Woods Waterfowl Hunting - Duck & Goose

Ducks

Goose & duck hunting in Ontario is very popular, especially in our area of Lake of the Woods. We are located close to the border of the Central Flyway and the Mississippi Flyway, which produces vast quantities of birds. The diversity of species is like no other place in Ontario, which is another reason why our waterfowl hunts are so popular.

Goose and Duck hunters will both find success without having to travel far from the lodge. The bay right in front of the lodge features long beds of Wild Rice as well as other plants that waterfowl love. There are also neighboring grain fields that attract massive flocks of birds. If you feel adventurous there are many miles to explore with abundant Wild Rice beds being very common along the shore. Guides are also available if you think you might need one if you are also fishing for part of your stay.

There are a quite a number of species of ducks found here, with Blue Bills and Mallards probably being most popular with hunters. You will see a wide variety of ducks in the early season of September, which includes Mallards, Teal and Wood Ducks. Following those are the Ring-necked Ducks, Bluebills, Black Ducks, Buffleheads, and Goldeneyes, which follow usually in early October.

There are also tremendous amounts of Canada Geese and Snow Geese flying in the area to rest and feed. It is a spectacular sight to see these giant "V" formations flying right over the lodge.

Goose hunting starts September 1st. Duck hunting starts on September 10th. We do offer a combo fishing / hunt (Duck / Goose / Woodcock / Grouse) package that runs September 15 to October 15.

Duck Stamp is available to purchase on-line
