South Shore Lodge

		John Procyshyn founded South Shore Lodge many years ago as a waterfowl (primarily goose) hunting operation. For several years, the lodge catered to a small number of clientele whom returned year after year for the fall hunting. In recent years, John and his associates have expanded South Shore's operations to include duck hunting, bear hunting, trophy whitetail and moose hunting. Most recently, John's son Barret has added fishing to the list. Guided packages available.
The lodge's main facility (which will accommodate up to thirteen hunters) is located a few miles south east of Winnipegosis Manitoba at the southern tip of Lake Winnipegosis. This area is at the northern edge of the province's grain farming region, and is west of the more populated (and more heavily hunted) Interlake area. This area has, in all probability, the finest goose hunting in North America. Naturally, the success of hunts of this sort depends in no small part on the amount of hunting territory which may be legally accessed. John, together with his family and associates, own about 10,000 acres and have access to thousands more acres through various arrangements. This dwarfs the hunting territory controlled by any of our competitors in this area. Goose hunting is typically done over decoys in the grain fields where scouts have located birds the evening before each morning's hunt. During the first two weeks of the nonresident season, geese may only be hunted until noon, afternoons are typically spent hunting ducks or bear for those who purchase a combination hunt. Hunters driving to Canada are encouraged to bring their own equipment. While we have sufficient equipment such as decoys, bringing your own will increase your flexibility. Additionally, we discourage the use of steel shot. We find that the hunters using Bismuth, Hevi Shot, or Tungsten do far better than those using steel.
