Hunting

With hundreds of thousands of acres of cultivated crop lands surrounding the Town, the area offers ideal feeding grounds for a variety of waterfowl. It is no wonder that Eagle Lake and environs has been named “The Goose Hunting Capital of the World” as it provides accommodation for the world’s largest wild goose concentrations.

Hunting Season, although varying slightly from year to year, is primarily from mid-September through mid-March. During the season, geese to be found include Canada, Snow, Blue and Speckle belly. Additionally various species of duck abound including Mallard, Teal and Pintail.

Hunting Packages are inclusive of Accommodations and Three Meals; Dinner on the day of arrival, Breakfast prior to the hunt and Luncheon upon return from your hunt.

There are a number of Outfitters, Guides and Bird Processors in the area, and The Farris Hotel is only too pleased to coordinate accommodations and hunting requirements.
