All of SA is good duck and goose hunting. Where are you from to start with? How far do you want to drive?

I am from Deathbridge. For geese try any of the hundread thousand farms surounding Lethbridge. Man, you shouldnt have a hard time finding a spot and getting permission 10-15 minutes out of town in any direction. We hunt that area every year and never have any problems.
For ducks it is kinda the same thing, there are thousands of km's of canals etc. all in those same areas. Any of the small lakes around there are great as well.
My suggestion to you is to load your vehicle and start hitting gravel roads in any direction, have yourself a saturday adventure, you will find birds.
Good luck!
PM me if you need more info.

My buddy and I were driving home from entertaining the Hutterite ladies the other day, we drove past a little waterhole, oh..about an acre or two in size, it was filled to capacity with geese and ducks. Well, we just about came unglued, came back the next day about 3:00 o'clock, dropped in the decoys and robo-duck of course. We both came home one shy of our limit. So, just like crazy davey says, make a lunch, grap some java and some shells and go down any gravel road. Don't forget to ask permission though. Good luck.

That is one thing I love about southern Alberta, on the praries it is endless gravel roads and if you are polite most farmers welcome hunters if you follow by thier rules.
Any of SA's Hutterite colonies are great places to go as well. Most will let you hunt without any problems as long as you ask nicely. Over the years I have made many good connections going back to them year after year, It always pays to bring a little treat for them, just to keep em happy.
You will find in SA most farmers and Hutterites are far more accomidating to bird hunters than they are to big game hunters. Probably for fear of loonies blasting away with high powered rifles.
I think I know what I am going to do next weekend
