Pelee island pheasant hunt

[crtech22]

After having a pelee hunt on my list for a few years it looks like this year is going to be the year to do it. Does anybody have any suggestions or reviews for any of the bed and breakfasts or the two camp grounds on the island?

All the B&B's are decent, if you're going the camp ground route, use the island campground, east park, clean showers and bathrooms, no hydro or water at the sites tho,

You need to make sure you can get a spot on the ferry before booking hunt accommodations.

I've stayed at the camp ground. It's nice enough and the staff were friendly. It's ground zero for the release and don't be surprised to have people actually walking right through your site and firing at birds six feet from your tent or trailer. Seriously....

And banjo music playing in the background.

Don't even think about going unless you have permethrin spray for all your clothes. Deet spray does nothing. Filthy with lyme positive ticks. Check your dog every night for ticks if you bring one.

I thought the Lyme problem was on Point Pelee, not Pelee Island. Can anyone clarify this?

I hunted Pelee once and also just spent a week there this summer with no tick encounters.

I visit the island frequently, all year round, and do the first 3 hunts, if anything, the tick problem is less than the mainland, Pt Pelee national park is tick infested

Had a friend work for BSC (Bird Studies Canada) who would not go to any of the nine area islands without duct taping the cuffs of his pants, shirts, then spraying his coveralls and boots with permethrin. Both Pelee and Middle Island were bad, as was the main land at the point. The nymphs are the ones you've got to worry about, as they do most of the disease transmission. They are barely visible to the eye. He'd get his wife to check his scalp every night, behind the ears, under armpits. Even after all this, he was still on Doxy regime three times in two field seasons on the island.
