Bird Hunting:

Western Guiding Services operates on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border and offers the unique opportunity to hunt both provinces for White-fronted, Canada, Ross' and Snow Geese. Add upland and pheasants to the mix and this is an outstanding opportunity to enjoy the best Alberta has to offer.

We hunt daily, following the feeding pattern of the staging geese. Our morning hunt in Saskatchewan is followed by an afternoon hunt in Alberta. This affords the hunters with the best opportunity to shoot their legal limit of birds.

In 1998, the daily limit of geese was:

Alberta	Saskatchewan
Types * Limit Daily:	Types * Limit Daily:
Canada - 8,	Canada - 6,
White - 10,	White - 10,
Ducks - 8,	Ducks - 8,
~	Sandhill Crane - 5

* 5 grey geese daily can be Whitefronts in both Provinces.
** Possession limit is twice the daily limit.
*** You can shoot the greater of the limits per day.

Trophy Deer Hunts:

Western Guiding Services also offers Trophy Mule Deer and Trophy Mule Deer/Whitetail combination hunts in Wildlife Management Units on limited draw to Residents since 1989.

Hunts for both Bow and Rifle offer the very best opportunity to harvest Trophy Mule Deer .

Trophy Mule Deer Bow hunts are conducted in late October to take advantage of bucks movements as the rut approaches. The Wildlife Management Units are on resident draw with a wait of 3 to 4 years. The Management Units are bordered on the east by the Saskatchewan border and include the river bottoms of the South Saskatchewan and Red Deer Rivers. This area has consistently produced Trophy Mule Deer on a regular basis. The area is the destination of choice for those who do their homework. The river breaks routinely produce Whitetails in the 150 B/C range and 175+ B/C Mule deer.

For information or to book a hunt, please e-mail Dave Molloy or call him at (403) 565-3775.
