The Accommodations

Our Lodge is located 7 miles north of the town of Tofield in central Alberta, a 35-minute drive southeast of Edmonton and only 45 minutes from the Edmonton international airport. The camp is located on a 1/4 section of land and has a modern club house and a sporting clays course as well as live pheasant shooting grounds. The facility has all the modem amenities, with two-to-a-room sleeping accommodation. There is a large dining and lounging area that opens onto a sprawling deck. Meals at the camp are professionally prepared by on-site chef and staff and are both hearty and sumptuous.

The Hunt

We hunt in an area 80 by 100 miles. The landscape is a typical mixed-farming Aspen Parkland habitat. You’ll find numerous pot-hole ponds, larger marshes, lakes, creeks and rivers and an abundance of fall roosting areas for waterfowl. Spotters canvas the entire area on a daily basis. With the experience of knowing our range of habitats and local weather, and tips from our developed relationships with the local farming operations, you’ll be assured of the best hunting experience available. Unlike shooting near a sanctuary in permanent blinds, you’ll hunt from portable blinds, a necessity in this part of the world. All goose hunting is field shooting over decoys. Mallard hunting is primarily over water on small ponds that the birds use for watering just before they feed in the fields; however, many times, you’ll shoot mallard and pintail along with the geese as they come to feed.
