Can anyone give me any information about duck/goose hunting the Chin Lakes resevoir near Taber, Alberta. I will travel there in late July to scout the area. I am looking for boat ramps, shallow areas that would be good areas to set up to hunt. I am not asking for anyones "Honey Hole", but mainly some general directions that I can do my own scouting for the fall, late Oct. or early Nov. hunt. Any help in this request would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance for anything that i might glean from this forum

Do you know if you can hunt on the reservoir?

Prairie waterfowl are best hunted in the fields, NOT on the water. The water is their "roost", mallards and geese will go out to feed in the grain or pea fields twice each day. Scout the feeding spots, not the roost. If you shoot on the water, you'll probably get some birds, but will mess up the shooting for several days later for everyone else, including yourself. Nothing ticks off experienced waterfowlers like some greenhorn blasting away at the water, when you can have much better close range shooting in the feeding fields, lose fewer cripples, and repeat it all the next day.
