**Extra information:

To legally hunt in Alberta a Wildlife Identification Number (WIN) number must be purchased (STEP 2)and registered before a License for hunting can be purchased. All provincial hunting licenses are obtained online through albertaRELM.com (STEP 3)and federally, online at Canada.ca. (STEP 4).

To hunt migratory game birds in Canada, you must have an Alberta game bird hunting license AND a valid federal migratory game bird hunting (MGBH) permit on which the Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation (CWHC) stamp appears. The MGBH permit is valid anywhere in Canada. The cost of the MGBH permit (including $8.50 for the CWHC stamp) is $17.00 plus applicable taxes. It is not transferable and can only be used by the person who is named on the permit.

You must be able to show the permit to game officers upon request. To be valid, the permit (physical or electronic) no longer needs to be signed. You must carry the permit with you at all times, either in physical or electronic PDF format, when hunting or when in possession of unpreserved migratory game birds or any murres, in a place other than your residence.

Warm clothes that you can move in - and can layer.

Weather in Alberta can be unpredictable, so you should plan to have weat weather gear, with the potential for snow during certain seasons. Check out your local weather app for predictions on the weather.

Do not worry about the color of your gear for Duck Hunts... they will not recognize that!

Not if we can help it!

We have a plan for a 2 to 1 ratio of novice/beginner users to a shot gun instructor. You will always be within arms reach of your instructor, and during practice shoots or in the duck hunt, only one hunter/shooter will be hunting at a time.

We will help you to become comfortable and familiar with your gun, and shooting.

Let us know what you are working with and we will do our best to accommodate. Both of us have worked a duck hunt camp kitchen before and we can whip something up if needed!

In the BETA version of our camp, we have 2 bunk rooms... and they sleep about 8-9 each. They are roomy and spread out!

Our hope is that we muck in and cozy up like we did when we were kids at camp - but if you are very concerned please contact us and we will try to work it out as best as possible.

In order to carry a firearm, you will need to have your PAL (Possession and Acquisition License), which requires completion of the Canadian Firearms Safety Course.

In the future, our hope is to offer this course and PAL certification through our camps... but we got some learning to do.

If you do have your PAL, you are welcome to bring your firearm, however, you will be required to ensure that you are the sole user for that gun, and will be required to lock it up with ours or secure in your vehicle for the duration of the camp.
