FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhat is the payment policy?50% deposit due upon booking for the 2008 season and a $1000 deposit for the 2009 season is required. Final payment is due two months prior to hunt date. Hunts are refundable if the space can be rebooked. What kind of blinds?Because we are in the most northern grain fields in North America with no hunting pressure prior to their arrival on migration we use stand up blinds throughout the season. Lay down final approach blinds are used when needed. What is included?- Ground transportation including airport pickup in High Level, Alberta. Not included: gratuities for the staff generally run between $300-$400 per gun What should I bring?We recommend packing as light as possible. Laundry service is provided at no extra cost. While there is no way to guarantee the weather, in early season (Sept 1 to Sept 21), the days are generally warm with no frost at all. From the 21st of September to the 5th of October, the days will cool down with the occasional frost. From about October 5th until the end of the season, early morning frosts become more frequent and after the 21st of October cold and snow are real possibilities. One of the best ways to pack is to pack excess gear in your cooler along with a duffle bag and on the return flight pack the duffle bag leaving the cooler free for birds. What shots are supplied?All 12ga steel shot is supplied as part of your hunt at Canada Maximas. Our shot will be light loads in either 3" or 2 3/4" in BB's and 2's with plenty of powder, reaching muzzle velocities of 1,500+ ft/second. If you wish to use any other type of shot feel free to bring your own, or we will try to get it in for you at an extra charge. What are the bird limits per day?- Dark Geese - 8 - of which not more than 5 can be white fronted The record number of birds taken at Canada Maximas by six hunters in one morning were 48 dark geese, 48 mallard and pintail ducks and 69 snow geese. Taking birds homeYou are entilted to take home two daily limits of both geese and ducks. If you do not wish to take any birds home this is not a problem as we have a constant demand for gift birds. DogsDogs are welcome at the lodge, but are subject to group endorsement. If you are not sure that the rest of your group will find their enjoyment of the hunt increased by your dog, you might be wise to leave him/her at home. That being said, we will do our best to put you and your dog alone over water for ducks if at all possible and during the week you should be able to work him a lot. The lodge has housing for dogs outside the lodge but well trained house dogs will be welcome in your room. Why a 4 1/2 day hunter rather than a 3 day hunt?We have found that a 3 day hunt does not allow for a truly memorable experience.Some 3 day hunts only offer one hunt per day for a total of 3 hunts. At Canada Maximas you will have 9 hunts in 4 1/2 days and are ensured of memories that will last a lifetime. Other hunting opportunties at Canada MaximasCanada Maximas only offers waterfowl hunts. That is our focus and only focus. There is the opportuntiy however to combine your hunt at Canada Maximas with a big game hunt for moose, whitetail deer or bear with one of the big game outfitters in the area. We can assist you in this regard. |
