Thanks again to everyone for the replies. My friends are now in Stettler and hopefully settling in.

We are zeroing in on some dates: October 10-18. My main concern is if that will be too late. Will it be too cold by then? I know that no one can predict the weather, but if y'all tell me that everything is frozen over and the ducks are gone by mid-October then I will try to move things up a bit.

Other random thought: right now we are planning on bringing our own decoys. Is that something we should continue planning on doing, or is there a chance we could get/rent/hire/borrow some up there? Just a thought.
