Duck & Grouse Hunting Tips
Duck Hunting Tips and Techniques in Ontario, Canada
Duck hunting tips/techniques for hunting in Ontario, Canada are similar to most areas. At Camp Narrows Lodge our duck hunts can be done easily by yourself or you can have our guides/ outfitters help you. At the resort we offer combo fishing and hunting vacations. Rainy Lake is a large lake with many shallow rice bays. Camp Narrows Lodge, is located right in the middle of some of the highest concentrations of wild rice in NW Ontario. Setting up you decoys on the calm side of the bay or small islands works the best.
Early season puddle duck hunting
In Ontario the season opens for goose on Sept 1 and Duck on Sept 15th. The early season is mostly puddle ducks, which include Mallards, wood ducks, blue and green wing teal, with the occasional ringneck and blue bill. We hunt the many beaver ponds or set up in the many wild rice bays. 1 -2 dozen decoys are all you need for the early season. Random placement in small groups works best. You should also have a couple of floater Canada geese decoys amongst the spread as well. Calling helps, so don’t forget them.
Late Season diver duck hunting
We are open until the end of October. The diver hunting is fast and furious. Blue bills, ring necks, buffle heads, golden eyes, hooded mergansers, gadwalls, red heads and the northern mallards are all around through the end of October. If the rice bays are frozen, the islands and points out in front are the best to set up on. With the wind at your back, the best techniques for divers is a hook, a long line or a v. I also like to put some random pods out, with a hole in the middle. The ducks targets that area and brings them into shooting range.
