The birds are abundant and the limits generous. The waterfowl hunting in Saskatchewan,
Canada starts September 1st and and we operate through October. At Goose Haven Canada
Outfitters we provide 2 waterfowl hunts a day (except for the last day). We typically goose
hunt in the morning and go duck hunting in the afternoon. The action is fast and furious. You
can expect a mixed bag of Canada waterfowl with a variety of ducks and geese. The most
common question we are asked is, "When is the best time to come for Saskatchewan goose
and duck hunting"? The waterfowl hunting is excellent all season long. It is more a matter of
"what type" of ducks and geese are in the area at a given time period. During the season our
waterfowl guides see almost every species of duck and goose in North America. Our clients
often rave about harvesting 13 different kinds of ducks in one day of duck hunting. Generally
speaking, early in the season we see alot of Cackling, Lesser, and some Greater Canada geese,
White Fronts (Specklebelly), Teal and Wigeon. Middle season we see more Snow, Ross and
Blue Geese, more Greater Canada geese, Gadwalls, Pintail and more Mallards. Later in the
season brings the Giant Canada goose (the flying 747's weighing around 20lbs), more Greater
Canada geese, the northern flights of Mallards and the remaining Pintails. Every year is a little
different. But the Saskatchewan waterfowl hunting is excellent all season long!
We employ the best waterfowl spotters, duck guides and goose hunting guides. Our waterfowl
guides have over 75 years of combined waterfowl hunting experience. The waterfowl spotters
find, locate and monitor the movement of ducks and geese every morning and every evening.
They identify feeding patterns, routes of travel, which roosts are being used, and most importantly
where "exactly" the geese are in the field. We then coordinate the goose hunts and duck hunts
accordingly. As professional waterfowl hunting outfitters we take you to where the birds are! You
can expect to be duck hunting and goose hunting in a different location every day. We provide
our waterfowl hunting guides a full arsenal of equipment for any waterfowl hunting situation. The
Canada duck hunting and goose hunting in Saskatchewan is superb. But it really depends on how
it's done. Not all waterfowl outfitters are created equal. We encourage you to be cautious and
selective. At Goose Haven Canada Waterfowl Outfitters we strive to be the best. Every detail matters
when waterfowl hunting. You can be assured you will be in the right place with the right strategy
and the right spread. Don't just take our word for it. Call and talk to people that have experienced
the waterfowl hunting at Goose Haven. We can provide a long list of references upon request. We
take the best waterfowl hunting in Saskatchewan and deliver it 5 feet from your blind.
The goose hunting in Saskatchewan, Canada is usually in fields. Our goose hunting guides have
a wealth of experience in Saskatchewan goose hunting. Your goose guides KNOW goose hunting.
They can adapt to any goose hunting situation. The waterfowl spotters and goose guides maintain
close communication. Careful planning is required for the next day of goose hunting. The goose
guides will determine a strategy based on wind direction, terrain, where the geese were coming
from and where the geese actually were in the field. The goose hunting guides will put you on the
"X". We use layout blinds, outfitter series bail blinds, or natural willow blinds. The set up includes a
full array of goose hunting decoys and equipment. We use full body bigfoots, magnum shells, flags,
motion decoys, silhouettes and flapper decoys . Goose hunting in Canada over water is something
our clients often request. We can usually accomodate goose hunting over water, but it depends on
the location. An intermediate watering hole is fine, but we NEVER hunt geese on their roost. Be
very cautious of waterfowl outfitters that goose hunt on a roost. This is a red flag of inexperience.
The geese will usually leave the area and may not return the following year. Go goose hunting in a
field and the geese find a new field, go goose hunting on a roost and the geese find a new roost.
You will be goose hunting in a different location every day. As one of the best waterfowl hunting
outfitters in Canada, we have the experience to achieve success and the professionalism to ensure
our clients hunt in comfort.
Canada duck hunting in Saskatchewan is dynamic. Most of the waterfowl hunting in Canada is
similiar. But in our area of Canada we seem to have a constant influx and outflux of ducks. We
are located at the northern most agricultural area of Saskatchewan. As the ducks and geese head
south we are the first set of grain, oat and pea fields they encounter. This provides fantastic duck
hunting since fresh birds are constantly arriving. The waterfowl spotters and duck hunting guides
are the key to successful Canada duck hunting. They must monitor, check and double check the
ducks in the area. The duck guides have the expereince to take you duck hunting in a variety of
situations. We equip our waterfowl guides for any condition. You could be duck hunting on river
banks, slews, potholes or beaver bogs. We have access to duck boats with mud buddy motors for
Saskatchewan duck hunting in the big water marshes. Our duck guides will often coordinate duck
hunts in wheat or barley fields where swarms of mallards are attacking the grain. At Goose Haven
Waterfowl Outfitters we don't take you duck hunting in a designated blind that gets hunted week in
week out, day in day out. Our waterfowl spotters and duck guides find the best spots holding the
most birds and that's where you go duck hunting!!! As with our Canada goose hunts, you can
expect to be duck hunting in a different location every day. At Goose Haven Canada Outfitters in
Saskatchewan the waterfowl hunting opportunities seem endless. We design and implement a
waterfowl hunting plan specifically for you. We want you to be part of the process. Tell us your
preference. Is it Canvasbacks on big water tomorrow? Teal flying in afterburner down the slough?
Pintails and Wigeon dive bombing a marsh? Or swarms of Mallards covering a barely field?
Whatever your preference, we can tailor your Saskatchewan goose and duck hunting adventure.
We have 2 well trained hunting Retrievers, but your dog is always welcome.

Our location for Saskatchewan waterfowl hunting in Canada is unique. The rich agricultural belt that runs
through the pothole region of the central flyway starts at Goose Haven Waterfowl Outfitters. As waterfowl
migrate south from their far reaching breeding grounds to the north, this is the first fields they encounter.
The fields are full of peas, grains, oats and loaded with nutrition and carbohydrates. The ducks and geese
are hungry and need fuel... and they pile in. As this agricultural belt moves south it widens and the birds
begin to spread out. The Saskatchewan goose hunting gets more spotty. Goose Haven Canada Waterfowl
Outfitters is at a choke point where the birds converge after the first leg of their journey. Our goose hunting
guides and duck hunting guides take full advantage of the situation. Then, to make the waterfowl hunting
even more perfect, the lake and marsh is practically a stones throw away. A roosting and watering place.
Not just any lake....this lake is a weedy, mucky, shallow lake. And the waterfowl love it. There are not any
boat ramps and no real public access. So the waterfowl remain undisturbed. This haven yields some of the
best Canada goose hunting, snow goose hunting and duck hunting in Saskatchewan and all of Canada. As
the premier Saskatchewan waterfowl hunting outfitters and duck guides, we are very fortunate to have such
an abundance of birds in such a perfect location.
