- Where
is Oak Hammock Outfitters located and how do I get there?
We are located in central Manitoba, a
province right in the middle of Canada bordering on North Dakota and
Minnesota. Winnipeg, our capital city has an international airport
where we will pick you up on arrival, it's located at 2000
Wellington Ave. If you wish to drive in, we can provide you with a
detailed map to your site and accommodations
- What
do we need to bring?
Bring warm cameo clothing, good boots and
gloves, (temperatures can vary -20oF to 50oF), a camera, all steel
shot. Also bring coolers for taking game home. All amenities are
close by.
- Where
will we be hunting?
Most of our fields border the Oak Hammock
Refuge, which should be dry stubble fields. We will either be in
concrete pits, or lay down blinds with magnum and full body decoys.
- What
will we be hunting?
Mainly Canada Geese, over large magnum,
and full body decoys. Ducks are also taken out in the field. Snow
Geese migrate through the Interlake area, but we don't set up for
them. Every year some are taken just from flying over checking out
the decoy spread.
- Who
will we be hunting with?
You will be hunting on at least a quarter
section of land - your group with a guide. We strictly decoy the
birds in, no pass shooting or firing lines.
- When
do we hunt? What's the routine?
The first three weeks of the season are
mornings only for geese. We set up decoys every morning, hunt and
then pack them up. We start a good hour or so before sunrise. The
morning flight usually lasts a couple of hours and we're usually
done well before noon. Afternoons will be for duck hunting - usually
three hours or so before dusk.
- If
the hunting ends early, what else can we do to fill in our time?
With past guests, usually one of the three
days is either spent duck hunting in the afternoon A tour of the
Ducks Unlimited Headquarters is a must for first timers. Also, just
relaxing after an early morning hunt is a favorite.
- Can
I bring my dog?
Certainly. The accommodations we deal with
accept pets as long as they're well behaved. But if you do bring a
pet, you'll be staying in a smoking room.
- If
our flight arrives or departs early or late, where can we stay?
If your flight leaves you in Winnipeg on
an overnight stay, arrangements will be made for you at a hotel near
the airport. Also, if your flight comes in early, we'll make sure
you're accommodated.

do Canadian firearms laws affect US. citizens, entering Canada ?
