Where will be lodged ? The McIntosh Inn has been looking after the needs of our clients for over 2 decades now and is only minutes away from our clubhouse. This is a First-Class property with exceptional meals and amenities as well as a fully stocked bar for the evenings. The Inn features sauna, whirlpool, heated swimming pool and exercise area. It is also a Conference facility well managed and capable of hosting Corporate Events of every nature. Dogs are welcomed here. What is the hunting party size? Our guides normally host parties of four or five hunters (usually four). If you want to bring a larger party, we can accommodate that. If you come with less than four hunters, you may have the option to join other hunters to make up a larger hunting party and prolong your day in the field. How many guides are assigned to our party? You will most likely have 2 guides looking after your group. This provides for a second caller which is often needed to support our large decoy spreads. Can we bring our retrievers? Outstanding retrievers enhance hunting enjoyment and are always welcomed. If you have a well trained retriever which will stay motionless while birds are dropping into the decoys and the hunters are shooting, we will be happy to have it do the retrieving for your party. What are the bag limits? The early season for Canada geese is eight birds/day; the rest of the season is five geese/day. Duck limits are six/day (one black duck/day). What hunting licenses are required and what is the cost? You will require 2 licenses to hunt waterfowl in Ontario, Canada.
