Venture North Outfitting

What visitors say

Venture North Outfitting is a family-run waterfowl operation in Alberta, and most of its reviewers are visiting American hunters. One group chose it after contacting several outfitters because it was the most organized, and that impression carries through the reviews.

The guides are described as passionate, professional and fun, with a strong local knowledge of the fields and the people who farm them. They scout between hunts and set up spreads that bring birds in close, and one reviewer praised a guide's retriever. Hot meals are waiting after every morning and evening hunt, and guests describe comfortable lodging and a family atmosphere.

Groups report excellent shooting on both Canada geese and mallards, including daily duck limits for a party of four over four days and quick limits on cool mornings. Typical trips are three or four days in September. Couples and parent-and-child pairs have hunted here too, and several groups rebooked before leaving.

There's little to caution about. One reviewer noted that not every hunt is a hot one, and early-season days can be warm. Visiting hunters say the outfitter provides the paperwork needed for crossing the border with firearms and game.
