The goose population during hunting season is primarily Canada Geese (of that most are Greater Canada geese, or honkers). There are also a very small amount of Specklebelly and Snow geese.

The duck population is comprised mostly of Mallards with a small percentage of Northern Pintails.

Getting to, and staying in Vanderhoof

Clients are responsible for their own transportation to and from Vanderhoof. Give us a call when you arrive and we will make arrangements to meet you the night before your hunt begins.

If you live outside the general area the best way to get to Wing & Trout Outfitters is to land in Prince George, 97 km to the east. There you will be able to pick up a rental car and take the scenic one hour drive along highway 16 to Vanderhoof. When you book your hunt we will send you a map with precise directions on how to find us.

Meals and accommodations are at the clients own expense. We are happy to recommend the North Country Inn as a great place to stay while you are in Vanderhoof.

Dealing with fowl

We are able to make arrangements for plucking, cleaning or skinning of the birds. Ask us the night before your hunt begins and we will see that your fowl is dealt with.

What you need to bring

Hunters need to bring two boxes of shells per day hunting. 12 Gauge is recommended with number 2 steel shot or larger for ducks and geese. Good warm camouflage clothing will be best as well as good quality insulated boots.

Before we can confirm your trip there's a few things you need to know.

Prime hunting period

To book your hunt first pick your dates. Hunting season runs from September 15 to November 7.

When you have a date in mind you can either give us a call at: (250) 567-4892 or send us an email message. Let us know when you and your party would like to join us and how many hunters in total.

A personal experience

We prefer to keep the experience personal so we hunt in parties of four, with one guide. If your party contains less than four we are happy to match you up with other like-minded individuals.

Licenses and regulations

All hunters must possess a valid BC Hunting License and have a clear understanding of the current Hunting Regulations. BC Hunting Licenses are available across the province in Government Agent offices as well as numerous retail outlets.

We will make arrangements for non-resident licenses and will get the necessary information at booking time. Residents should make their own arrangements for licensing.
