The hunters that make up our clientele are from all over the world and from all walks of life. To those of you who have made multiple trips to Boss Guiding we thank you for your support and friendship over the years. To those of you who are considering booking a trip with Boss Guiding, rest assured that we will do our very best to see that you have a wonderful trip and that the experience you have at Nighthaven Lodge will be one to remember!
The demographics of our goose harvest have changed again. The daily limit of eight grey geese remains the same but now all eight can be whitefronts. Our goose harvest is up to 70% specks. The 2022/2023 grain harvests have been beyond expectation in our area and despite the dry conditions the goose hunting continues to be superb. If Specks are your target species this is the place to be!
Our duck harvest consists mainly of mallards and pintails. The daily limit is eight. The main contributing factor to good duck hunting is water and as of the summer of 23’ we are experiencing drought conditions. We are hopeful that this year will see an improvement in water levels through the nesting season. The areas directly north of us had great hatches and the migrating birds were in abundance. Having said all that our duck hunting is excellent, and we look forward to what the fall of 2024 will bring!
We still use our own willow blinds on a daily basis and continue in the off-season to experiment with variations that may prove more effective. Full-bodied decoys, complemented with socks and silhouettes when required, help us create realistic sets of feeding and resting birds. Access to fields is enhanced with equipment that allows us to get into fields that would be difficult at best. We do our best to keep up with current trends and create an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable environment for you to enjoy!
You will stay at Nighthaven Lodge. Built in 1995, Nighthaven lodge has been providing comfortable surroundings with memorabilia that highlights the forty years of waterfowl hunting at Boss Guiding. Four bedrooms set up for double occupancy, three bathrooms with showers and a large common area to relax and kick back in, make for a comfortable stay after a long day in the field. Meals are served upstairs in a family atmosphere and watching the odd college football game may result in some friendly bantering and camaraderie!
Everyone involved at Boss Guiding/Nighthaven Lodge shares some expertise in our business. Awesome cooks, guides, spotters, and drivers are here to serve you! Whether a grizzled old outfitter, a wet behind the ears, an aspiring guide, or everything in between, we are all here for one reason: “to make your trip a memorable experience”. We run golden retrievers. They are as much a part of the staff as all those listed above. Sam, Ruby, Amber, and her pups Max and Bullet live to clean up after every hunt!
Our goal is to give you an opportunity to shoot a possession limit of ducks and geese during your stay at Nighthaven. This past season was excellent with many groups going home with full possession limits of both Ducks and Geese.
Fathers, Sons, Daughters & Extended Family Groups
Father, Sons, Daughters & Extended Family Groups Hunting is a social activity. The level of enjoyment is enhanced when you can share it with family and close friends. Take advantage of the opportunity to bring the people you most like to hunt and spend time with. You will be glad you did!
All Age Groups
Many beginners have been fortunate enough (one might think spoiled) by having their first waterfowl trip away from home at Nighthaven Lodge. A multitude of hard working people in their middle ages have taken time out to hunt with us. Perhaps the ones we like best are those in the twilight years, hunters who would like to get out one last time before hanging up their equipment. Special consideration has been given to those hunters who just don 't want to quit. Our oldest hunter to date was 97 years young!
Corporate Bookings
Consider bringing a group of like-minded employees from your place of business. The number of corporate bookings, both nationally and internationally, continues to increase each year. The feedback on these hunts has been extremely positive. If you are looking for a staff “event” on an annual basis or just a one-time special event, we are here to accommodate you!
Booking at Boss Guiding takes place early in the year and long-time clients are given the opportunity to re-book their spot prior to Feb. 1. A non-refundable deposit of $1000US/hunter is due upon booking. Your booking is confirmed when your deposit is received. The balance is due 30 days prior to your scheduled hunt. We can accommodate groups of 6 on each 3-day hunt. If your group is less than six, we MAY add other hunters to your group.
