What visitors say
Black Dog Outfitters runs guided waterfowl hunts in Alberta, and reviewers who have hunted across North America and South America rank the shooting among the best they've had. Hunters describe beautiful country, a lodge that was being expanded for larger groups, and guides and scouts who put in long hours.
Spring snow goose hunts get particular praise for sheer volume, with one group averaging around a hundred birds a day and taking a few banded Ross's geese. Fall hunts are mixed bag, and reviewers report duck limits within the first hour and several species over a three-day trip. Blind set-ups are well done, and the guides adjust plans on the fly.
Packages are described as genuinely all-inclusive, with airport pickup, comfortable private rooms and plentiful home-cooked meals. It suits groups of waterfowlers looking for high-volume shooting.
A couple of reviewers mention growing pains as the business expands, and one recent reviewer says a hunt won at a 2025 convention, with a deposit paid, went unanswered despite repeated calls. Get all booking terms in writing and confirm dates directly with the outfitter.
