That's a shame you were treated so poorly but maybe its this guys normal demeanour and nothing you did wrong.

The Crown Land Atlas is pretty good and much more up to date than some of the old paper editions of the Crown lands that used to be available. Hopefully some of the other members who do duck hunt in your area will help out. Don't get discouraged, geese do a fair amount of damage to land owners properties so hopefully you will meet someone that wants a few taken out.

If your door knocking at farms just be aware of the times you knock and the days. These folks are pretty busy so just bear that in mind and I would not show up dressed as a hunter for the initial door knocks.

I'm gonna be very honest and it might make me sound soft.. but at a young age I use to always get yelled at and boiled by others even when I was getting older and still showed respect and never reacted till it got to a point where I couldn't take it no more and it really bothers me, it just bring back old memories and makes me feel insecure and shook, so instead of losing my on ppl acting like with me I run away man, and it does discourage me to ask again lol ,but I shouldn't take it personally. And sorry bro what are Mennonites? Is it a business they offer hunting or something? And actually I am also interested in hunting Sterlings, I over heard farmers don't like them birds on their farms

Very true, and I understand that for sure. Everybody so far have been recommending crown land and Ihunter so hopefully will help me out, I'm really hoping to get some geese so I'm thinking I'll drive by Richmond town area or Stittsville area and see what's up. And I'd think I'd go early in the day incase after work they just wanna kick it back relax and not want to be bothered .

Make sure your shotgun will accommodate 3" shells first before buying some.

I just took a look at it, I have a Girsan semi auto, and it takes all types of sizes ! But apparently I been seeing online that many hunters do not reccomd 3 1/2 " so I'll stick to 3"

Mennonites are religious group. Very friendly people. We are friends with lots of them. Can’t give to much advice as to knocking on doors. All the people I’ve asked permission from are friends or neighbours. Too bad he acted so uncivil, don’t let it scare ya there’re are lots of friendly people out there.

I have the same gun, only issue i have about it is it will not eject the odd shell, usually its the 2nd shell that gets stuck for me. As for the Mennonites its the guys on horse and buggies lol they are usually very nice. Another tip to try and find land is dont knock on doors in your hunting gear to ask for permission.

Use 2 3/4 shells for it seems to like them better from my experience.


ALSO dont click any of the release or chamber buttons on it once its chambered and ready to go. It will jam 100%

Learned that the hard way while hunting turkey. Had to pull out my knife and fiddle with the shells to get them out.

Ok good to know, so far hasn't jammed on me yet, I used 2 3/5 and 3", but did not know about the releasing the chamber button that's how I load lol, I always had pump and break action back in the days, so I'll load I'd differently.

As far as knocking on doors yah I figured to never wear hunting gear lol that would look really bad, so I'll start on the look out for Mennonites farms around Ottawa maybe bit out further doesn't matter, I'm hoping to find one spot at least and get me some geese this season before season ends, never shout one before so I'm very pumped and hopeful I'll find a spot this season.

Generally-not a rule(but sure bet if You see one) Green roofs are Mennonite farms.
