Canadian goose hunting has long been a cherished tradition in Manitoba, where the expansive landscapes and bustling wetlands attract hunters from near and far. This sport has evolved significantly, blending age-old practices with modern innovations to create an unparalleled hunting experience. Birdtail Waterfowl, situated in the heart of Manitoba’s hunting grounds, combines the best of both worlds, offering guests a uniquely tailored experience.
For generations, goose hunting was a vital skill passed down through families in Manitoba. Early hunters relied on their knowledge of the land, setting up near natural water sources and using simple, hand-crafted decoys to draw geese in. Hunters would mimic the sounds of Canadian geese using basic calls and find makeshift blinds in tall grasses or natural cover. The approach was humble and deeply connected to the rhythms of nature, emphasizing patience and observation.
As the years went by, goose hunting became a recreational pursuit as well, attracting a broader audience interested in experiencing the thrill of the hunt. The community’s respect for the Canadian goose and dedication to refining their skills strengthened this tradition. Today, Birdtail Waterfowl is proud to honour these roots while embracing new techniques to enhance each hunter's experience.
At Birdtail Waterfowl, guests experience the best of traditional hunting blended with the latest innovations. From precise decoy placement to advanced calling techniques, Birdtail’s guides ensure a successful hunt. Here’s a look at the cutting-edge methods Birdtail employs to make every goose hunt unforgettable:
Strategic Decoy Placement for a Realistic Experience Modern decoy technology has revolutionized goose hunting, but the strategy remains as crucial as ever. Birdtail Waterfowl’s guides expertly arrange decoys in patterns that replicate the social behaviours of Canadian geese.
Mastery in Goose Calling Calling techniques has come a long way from the early days of hunting, and Birdtail Waterfowl’s guides are masters of the craft. Using advanced calls that mimic specific sounds—like feeding, comfort, and landing calls—they skillfully attract geese and encourage them to approach.
