Are there many hunting chances in Conestogo Lake conservation area?

[RemingtonMarlin]

I intend to buy a hunting pass to Conestogo Lake conservation area. Please share your hunting experiences at Conestogo Lake as I know nothing about this area. Are there many games present (waterfowls, small games, deers, etc)? Is there a Sunday gun hunting ban? $225 is just not a small amount for me considering the purchases of firearms.

Thanks a lot.

I contacted the Conservation area office.

I was told that there are still some permits available. I had tried the Other Hunting Areas (22 small lots). No luck. In many of those locations, no sign of games to me.

This is from the GRCA web site. Contact them about deer. Rabbits and waterfowl abound though. (519) 638-2873
"...A controlled hunting program is allowed during the open season for waterfowl and small game on 930 hectares of the conservation area. A pheasant release program operates each fall and pheasant hunt season passes are $225..."
No Sunday hunting in Wellington County. There's a map on the MNR's web site.

Hi, Sunray. I read their website and the latest brochure (2007-2008). Only designated areas in the park are open to hunting. However, the thing I really want to know is the actual hunting oppurtunity in Conestogo Lake.
It seems that there will be 1600 pheasant released from Oct.

Thanks for your input.
