FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
|
- Do you hunt snow geese?
Yes, your guide,
Matt, has hunted snow geese
from the age of 9, giving
him 26 years experience with
the birds. He
meticulously maintains the decoy spread, using
the latest in technology
to fool these smart birds. Snow
geese are unpredictable, but your chances of a
good hunt are best with Frontier Waterfowl Guide
Service.
- What kind of blinds do you use?
Frontier Waterfowl
Guide Service uses layout blinds
or white suits for all field
hunting. This is to stay
mobile and set-up exactly where
the birds want to be.
- Can I bring my own retriever?
Unfortunately, Frontier
Waterfowl Guide Service no longer
allows clients to bring their own
retriever. In
the past, problems ranged from unsteadiness to
chasing deer. In
fairness to all, no retrievers are allowed, even
if they are exceptional dogs. Sorry. The
guide’s
dog now handles all retrieving.
- How far from the lodging do we hunt?
On average, we
hunt within 1 – 50
miles of the lodging, sometimes more, sometimes
less.
- How do we process our birds?
Your guide, Matt,
will have an area for you
to clean your birds, or
he can do it for you for
a fee. He
will also dispose of cleaned carcasses
for you.
- What’s your deposit policy?
A 50% per hunter deposit is required to confirm your dates, No Refunds.
- Are your hunts physically demanding?
Not at all. Water hunts are as easy as getting
in the boat. Field hunts require help in
setting out decoys and grassing blinds if you are
physically able.
- Do you mix parties?
We mix parties to get 6 hunters on field
hunts in the fall, 8 hunters in the spring and
4-5 hunters on water duck hunts.
- How much ammo do I need?
We recommend a minimum
of 50 shells per hunter, per day. If
you are on a snow goose hunt, we recommend 75 shells
per hunter, per day.
- What else do I need to
bring?
A list of “What to Bring” will
be provided to you as part of your hunt confirmation
package upon receipt of your deposit.
