Le Goose Shack Outfitters runs guided waterfowl hunts in the farmland north of Trois-Rivières, with snow geese as the headline. Nearly all reviews are five stars, and many come from groups who have returned several seasons in a row, in both spring and fall.
The guides are why. Hunters describe a crew that works very hard on blind setup, decoy placement and camouflage, and that is punctual and safety-minded. One experienced waterfowler noted they don't crowd too many people into a blind. The owner's retriever gets its own fan club. Reported results are strong, including one party of seven that shot 94 snow geese and four Canadas by 11 a.m., though others note that weather can make any hunt hit or miss.
The atmosphere suits a range of hunters. First-timers say they learned the whole process of setting blinds and rigging decoys, parents brought teenage sons who came home hooked, and the outfitter has run a women's hunt. Canada geese, shelduck and spring turkey hunts are also mentioned.
A few reviews are critical. One turkey hunter says he was asked for an extra $300 for his young son after the hunt, despite discussing the boy's attendance in advance. A recent non-resident group felt the young guides assigned to them were tired and unmotivated.
