Planning on hunting peele island this coming fall. Does anyone have any suggestions on a decent cottage to rent ? Thinking probably four guys. Looking for somewhere with a kitchen and a BBQ. Also does anyone know the ferry costs ? Any other info would be great too. Thanks
Go on line and check out Pelee island site,they will have info on places to stay and same for the boat, the boat starts booking this Feb 26, you can also try this number for a place to stay..Dave/Charleen 519-724-2092
I have always stayed at the same small cottage, so I can't really give you any advice on other places, but we pay around 70.00 per night each person (private cottage, could sleep around 4 hunters) ... so look for costs around that price, possibly a little higher too. As for other things you should know, the Ferry reservations are on Feb.26,27, 28 at 8:00am (for the first, second and third main hunts). The cost is around $16.00 per vehicle plus $8.00 per person - around that price give or take a few bucks (one way). Also, I believe licenses are slighly cheaper if you order them ahead of time, so look into that as this is something new - checkout the pelee website. Not much to buy on the island, so make sure you bring lots of ammo and don't forget any of your hunting gear. It is a fun hunt, I am sure you will enjoy it ... I am personally going to try for the last main hunt or possibly one of the cleanup hunts, pending on work and family (baby on the way).

Also, type in Pelee Island in the SEARCH box on this site and you will get a ton of info. from previous posts.
I'll be watching this thread. I'm thinking of trying it this year myself.
Thanks a lot for the info never thought of searching previous posts good idea. I went with my Dad once about 10 years ago but we stayed at a womens house she cooked our meals and everyone was very nice but I was hoping to do more of a hunt camp style this year with a cottage and do it yourself meal. I remember there wasn't too much available on the island except strippers they fly in from Detriot, I never went but I thought it was pretty funny wonder if they still do thatQuote:

Thanks Rob, if I do end up going I will let you know and maybe we can hook up there and hit a few fields together. I have previously hunted the first and second main hunts, but I found that I always lose the best woodcock flights here so starting this year Pelee will be a November event for me whenever I can go.

Oh So Tempting!
I "plan" (more like wish) to go every year, yet I have never managed a trip out there yet. Maybe this year...
Those of you who go, do you bring a dog? Do you need to? My GSP is six months old now but should get a clue by November.
Yes a dog is recommended.
There is lots of info at www.pelee.org Click on the "pheasant hunt" icon on the home page. Lots of options, cottages, b&b's, etc. I'm there every year. Shoot me a pm if you need more help. Eriedukr
This hunt is my goal for 3 years from now. Just cant make it work financially yet. Ive been to the island and I love it already. Making a pheasant hunt the reason I go will enrich the entire thing!
Gotta love PeleeAttachment 24345
Look like you know how to do it Mikeman!
You have the dog for it northernnympher, get yourself over too the island.If you can't make one of the three regular hunts try the first clean up hunt. Lots of birds and fewer hunters.
Do not let the lack of a dog stop you. I have hunted several main and cleanup hunts without a dog with great results. This method works best with 2 people.
