It's general illegal to lease land for hunting in most of Canada. It's also illegal to take anything of monetary value in exchange for hunting privileges in most provinces.
I spent two weeks in Alberta in October. I never once heard a word about tariffs or politics or Trump or anything like that. The farmers I talked to talked about hunting, farming, cattle, and the weather. Never heard anything negative and never got turned down for access.

Yes I would love to go and have a buddy that's in as well. We don't mind working. I know the hunting up there. He doesn't and has no clue how good it is.

So I have my 87yo father as a wing man on our trips. And he doesn't help much with the decoys 
so having some more able bodied hands would be a benefit.
I also have my nephew and my son as potential partners on the trip. But they are college age and sometimes school or work or life gets in the way and they can't make it.
Four people total is a good group. Five is doable. Six is maxing out. More than six is too many. That's basically just from a standpoint of getting hidden. In my opinion.
Also, we go in the time frame of Oct 10-15 to Oct 20-25th. There are still some specks around. The Canadas and the Mallards are still around. But they at least have green heads. I hate shooting brown ducks .
Most of rhe teal and gadwall are already gone. Some pintails still around.
Lots of people go in Sept. But I don't like shooting brown ducks. And the Canadas are not there in force yet

That’s awesome! I would give anything to still have my old man. I’m a decent call but not like he was. He had an old yentzen, duck commander, and an old reed call that sounded like no other. When I was up there it was in September. We didn’t have to call much and called better than the guides so we told them to put the calls down. We got this lmao. I think I still have your email from the coolers. I’ll send you a message.

You ever see any deer up there? I imagine the locals/ farmers care way more about their deer than the ducks.

This is simply not true.
1. It’s illegal to lease land for money.
2. There are some farmers that may be doing that, but I wouldn’t say it’s “a lot”
We had zero issues in both Sask and Alberta this year and I hunted 60 days between the 2 provinces.

Yeah. They have both whitetail and mule deer. But for whatever reason the deer populations are way down. The elk and moose populations are growing. Especially elk.
The locals do not give two flips about the waterfowl. And they dont even know what the Huns are. The call them grouse. Never occurs to them. But they obsess over their deer.

I'm glad someone bumped this thread. I've ben reading through it.
Funny coincidence, a guy I met a few years ago and I were talking about goose hunting the other day and he mentioned that he used to go to Canada every year but the group fell apart as some of the guys got older.
Turns out, they have a decoy trailer packed full of decoys with 4 layout blinds still up there in a farmers barn that used to put them up in a camp house he had.
Like mentioned, he let them hunt his place and made calls to get them on other neighboring farms.
2 of the guys from the original group want to go back next year. They called the farmer and he told them the trailer was still there and they were more than welcome.
I think I might get a spot of one of the older guys that dropped out.
ETA: I've got one problem though... I got charged with a felony 20 years ago, but hired a lawyer and did not get convicted. Even though I wasn't convicted it still pops up on background checks. I get delayed buying a firearm, but it always goes through after 5 days. Apparently Canada uses the FBI database and this could cause me to be denied entry into the country. Anybody have any experience with this? A thread on reddit said to get all paperwork available from the clerk of court to show the charge was dismissed and they should let me in, but it's not a given.
I'd hate to get there and get turned around.

Back when I went up there, we had a farmer with a house on his property, and we rented the house for our stay. He showed us all his property that we were able to hunt. We were told that some farmers might tell us no because they were upset with some part of US farm policy, but most would give permission.
We had two hunts that really stood out. One was on a pea field the farmer had that was between the Quill Lakes, out east of Saskatoon. The other hunt was in a windrowed barley field that had been turned over to insurance and wasn't going to be harvested. Tons of mallards flying with the terrain of the fields and burrowing into the windrows to eat the barley. Four of us knelt behind some old creosote fence posts and shot about 30 mallards. This field was owned by another farmer, and we'd found it driving around and talking to locals one afternoon.
Beer for those afternoon scouting trips wasn't cheap up there. We just put it in the bed of the pick-up and let the snow keep it cold.
As others have mentioned, I found everyone up there to be very nice. We didn't bring back any ducks, so I was either making duck gumbo, or the other guys were grilling or frying duck nuggets for the whole week. We did take some ducks to the Indian tribes. They absolutely refused to take any Snow geese!

I actually had something similar happen to me. I did some custom farming work for a New York company maybe 20 years ago. And they didnt pay me. So I kept this really nice air seeder of theirs. I parked it in a barn they wouldn't know about and told them they wouldn't see it until I got my money.
They promptly signed an affidavit and had me arrested for grand larceny. I was an hour late to my dad's 70th birthday dinner. Because there was a huge group of gang bangers in the holding cell that had gotten rounded up after a drive by. And the bail hearings took most of the afternoon. I was in line behind all those idiots.
Anyhow I explained everything to the DA and he refused to move forward with the case. Dropped all charges etc.
It doesn't show up on my background when I go to Canada. They always say: "Have you ever been convicted of a crime?" And I say No. And then they look me up and say; "Yeah you're telling the truth."
Ive never had an issue
