I'm headed out west this thanksgiving with the family and would like to try some duck hunting out near Caroline, Alberta. Does anyone know of any good areas - Crown Land - near Burnstick lake that I could check out ? Dont have a gun-dog but will have access to a boat and a canoe.
 
My advice to you is to join the Alberta Outdoorsmen forum and post your question up there. You will get tons of info and likely invited out on a hunt by one of the members, lots of great folks on that site.

Saw it posted there.:D Hate to tell you this, but ducks are few and far between around Caroline. Better luck further east, in the crop land. Some sloughs around Olds or east of H 2. Also, since you live in Ontario, do you qualify as a resident? Might want to check out the regs, before you end up in the Sundre slammer. :)

seems pretty straight foward

Non-resident (Canadian) game bird hunters require a WIN card and a Wildlife Certificate and:

either a Game Bird Licence or a 3-Day Game Bird Licence to hunt grouse, partridge and ptarmigan;
either a Game Bird Licence or a 3-Day Game Bird Licence, and a Pheasant Licence to hunt pheasant.
either a Game Bird Licence or a 3-Day Game Bird Licence, and a Federal Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit to hunt waterfowl.

The west end of Burnstick looks pretty "ducky"
 
Except, it's high in the Foothills and far off the migration route, which is what they'll be thinking in October.

ahh missed the october part. I was thinking of a day in the canoe slaughtering resident dabbler families in thier ancestoral homeland.
 
As a guy who has lived in the foothills his whole life, I recommend you head east about an hour for waterfowl. We limit out on ducks and sometimes geese almost everytime we set up a field shoot in the crop land.
 
Great advice here, thanks. I also posted on the Alberta Outdoorsmens site after getting the heads-up to try it as well. I have a WIN card etc from travelling out there a couple of times a year, although, it appears the area is well outside their migration routes. Maybe I'll settle for grouse, or, venture farther east to try my luck. thanks..
