Successful spring goose hunt at Dymond Lake Lodge
| We had another superb spring shoot at Dymond Lake Lodge last month. Two of our guests, Randy Thomas and John Van Ruiten had a very successful week shooting snows and blue geese, as is evident in the photo below.
Randy generously took the time to write a few words about their experience:
John Van Ruiten and I had the opportunity to shoot the first five days of spring goose season under the direction of Doug Webber at his well-equipped lodge on Hudson Bay. As we crossed the ice by snow mobile, we came upon a large concentration of geese. Turns out this large concentration of both snows and blues was very close to the cabins that comprised the lodge. This told John that we were in the right spot at the right time...(read more)

The Qamanirjuaq caribou herd
| Webber's Lodges enjoys success rates of 100% for our caribou hunts year after year. This is due in part to the strong numbers of the Qamanirjuaq caribou herd and also due to the fact that our
caribou camps are right in the migration route of the herd.
While some herds in Canada have been experiencing population decline, the Qamanirjuaq herd still has very strong numbers of nearly 350,000. A recent article published by CBC News says this is likely because the food sources are richer and there are less predators to contend with.

Trophy of the Month
| |
We see a lot of happy hunters go through our camps so we've decided
to establish a 'Trophy of the Month' club to showcase their accomplishments. Each month we will feature a past guest who's had a successful hunt with us.
This month the award goes to Matt Vukelic, a regular guest of ours at North Knife Lake Lodge.
Matt's winning catch was a 40" Master Angler Lake Trout, pictured below.
Congratulations Matt! We look forward to seeing you back at North Knife this summer.

Mike's Beer Batter Fish
| Since fishing season is now upon us, we thought it might be nice to share with you one of our favorite fish-fry recipes. Enjoy!
Mike's Beer Batter Fish - oil for deep-frying fish
 - 2 lbs. fillets, any type of firm white-fleshed fish, pike and pickerel work well
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 tbsp. Dymond Lake Seasoning OR 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper
- 12 oz. can beer
- 2 tsp. dill weed
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- Heat the vegetable oil in your deep-fryer or a large Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. You should have about 3 inches of oil.
- Cut the fillets into serving pieces
- To make the batter, in a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients with a wire whisk until smooth.
- Drop fish pieces into the batter and then into the hot oil. Fry until deep golden brown, on both sides, turning once. Drain for just a minute on a wire rack placed over a cooking sheet.
Serves 6 hungry men or their equivalent. |

The story behind hunting traditions in Germany
| Our intrepid Sales & Operations Manager and head guide, Kent Michie, has guided guests from around the world over the past 30 years and has developed a strong appreciation for the customs practiced among various cultures. Here, he explains some of the history behind the practices of German hunters.
The hunting traditions and rituals that  German hunters follow have been handed down from one generation to another over hundreds of years. Unlike hunting in North America, the sport in Germany is steeped in tradition, and it has been since the 14th century. Rather than simply shooting game, hunters in Germany observe a number of customs, such as honoring the animals with musical signals from hunting horns, awarding successful hunters with branches, and sharing social time after a hunt...
