About the Area - Alberta Canada Duck
Hunting
Alberta
is located between the province of British Columbia on the west and
Saskatchewan on the east, and between the Northwest Territories on
the north and the state of Montana on the south. The fourth
largest province of Canada, it covers just over a quarter-million
acres. The southern quarter of the province is prairie,
ranging from shortgrass prairie in the southeastern corner to mixed
grass prairie in an arc to the west and north of it. The central
aspen parkland region extending in a broad arc between the prairies
and the forests, from Calgary to Lloydminster, contains the most
fertile soil in the province. Wheat and cattle are the
traditional mainstays, but Alberta is also the world's
second-largest natural gas exporter. Cereal crops include
spring- and fall-seeded wheat, malt and feed barley, oats, rye, and
specialty crops such field peas - literally a buffet of high-energy
foods for waterfowl.
Southern Alberta is a top waterfowl hunting destination.
Alberta's aspen parkland is home to the highest densities of
breeding mallards on the continent. The prairies have thousands of
acres of staging water with very low hunting pressure.
Numerous flocks of locally raised Canada geese and Sharing
the Pacific and Central Flyways, Southern Alberta is blessed with
millions of migrating Canada's, snow geese and white-fronted geese
and ducks of all species. Alberta Canada goose hunts for
large Canada geese is particularly attractive to visiting
wingshooters, with many hunts being complimented with wave after
wave of mallards and pintails. All three species of geese
with several species of ducks can comprise the bag limit on any
single hunt.
