We hunt in the "marais"...a swampy private island separated by canals from a 1200 acre DU impoundment. Most of the blinds are on the canals themselves but there are a few blinds on small ponds on the island's interior. The "pass shooting" on the final morning Destry alluded to was done on the edge of the canal between two of the the canal blinds at a certain spot favored by the mal'lats for crossing the canal due to the lower height of the trees there...nothing less than 45 yard shots using 1 3/8 oz of Bis Maxx 4s and tight chokes. Were were done by 7:15 that morning. The outfitter also does snow geese hunts near Rimouski on the Gaspe' and specializes in divers out on the main channel of the big river in sinkboxs and 1 1/2 hour boat ride from the lodge. We have done this but only later in the season when the divers begin to migrate. Only a 7 1/2 hour drive from home and some of the consistently best duck hunting in North America.
