Spring Goose 2007

It's not often one comes across good advice, especially when it comes to hunting. You will hear from all types of sources - how to do this and how to do that, but in the end, success is usually measured by a few simple words. Those simple words are what Doug Webber lives by. For a man who started outfitting for waterfowl on Hudson Bay back in 1967 and who has developed Webber’s Lodges into a world class hunting and fishing destination, his simple words of advice are worth their weight in gold.

Our first group of hunters arrived to a great start with the spring flight north. Weather was the only aspect hampering low flying birds and full daily limits. Our first group saw high skies, sunshine, rain, snow and fog, a Hudson Bay grandslam of weather patterns. The geese were in mental confusion as they flew back an forth, north and south depending on the days weather. However, the skies were filled with thousands of birds and the wingshooting was nothing short of great!

Our bird dressers were kept extremely busy and tallied a group total of 800 harvested snow and blue geese and a whopping 175 boxes of shotgun shells spent throughout the 5 days of hunting. Lots of birds, lots of shooting and lots of fun!

May 16-20

Our second week of wingshooting was simply unbelievable, including the weather! Our customers arrived in time for two days of steady snow, freezing tempuratures and an enormous flight of birds flying south to get away from the on coming weather. Thats right, south, not north, which is the direction they are suppose to be heading. Snows and blues by the hundreds of thousands flew by Dymond Lake with all of us admiring in awe. The freezing tempratures and variable weather had pushed all the birds that had already gone north right back to square one and over the heads of our hunters.

Everyone enjoyed thick skies and heavy shooting, not to mention once in a lifetime sights of migrating and confused birds. Our hard working bird dressers were once again put to the test and processed 1300 hundred birds. Bringing our 10 day total to an impressive 2100 harvested geese and over 500 boxes of shotgun shells spent. That contributed to alot of sore and bruised shoulders, but in the end its all worth it!

We would like to thank everyone for joining us this year for another fantastic spring goose hunt. We hope everyone had a great time and enjoyed the sights in the sky, its simply something to remember!

Hope to see you all this fall or in 2008!
