Hello,


Since Snow Goose hunting regulations in Alberta have changed and advances in technology have made the Snow Goose much easier to decoy, there is no better time in history than to be hunting Alberta for Spring Snow Geese with Ongaro's! 


Please call me directly on my cell 1-780-203-4868 or email claudio@ongaros.com to discuss your amazing Spring Snow Goose hunt or to reserve a date.


If snow geese finishing in the hole is what you're after ... look no further!!


I invite you to have a look at the pictures, video links, and testimonials below.


Looking forward to guiding you ... Claudio

Very low hunting pressure combined with the birds feeding heavily on the last agricultural fields in North America before making the "big jump" to the arctic create a unique situation where relaxed birds that are eager to feed can be hunted on the "X" every time. 


My vast hunting area allows us to travel to where the birds are feeding each day. This means one thing for our valued client ... you WILL be under birds and hunting that special "X" every hunt!! Welcome to Ongaro's Spring Snow goose hunts!!


Spring Snow Goose hunts differ from the fall in that the flight typically lasts throughout the entire day especially during any inclement weather common in the spring. Due to this, it is typical to hunt only one time per day but the hunt will often carry on for several hours longer than a typically fall outing. These are not traffic hunts. Hunts are spotted each day to make sure birds are actively using the field!!

Watch as I guide a group of 6 to 300 Snows. It doesn't happen often but when it does ...

"I have personally taken it upon myself to find the Snow Goose's Achilles Heel"

Each spring the Snows return to Alberta to fatten up before their last leg of the migration to the arctic. The lodge is in the heart of this staging region! My team is well equipped, ready and experienced to make this hunt a world class experience for you!!
"Spring Snow Goose hunts are new, exciting and a 'pile' of fun."

 Here is what our guests are saying about my team and their experience at Ongaro's ...

Claudio,

"Thank you again for an amazing three days of hunting! You, the guides and the staff made our stay at Ongaro’s Outdoor Outfitters an unforgettable experience. I have had the great fortune to hunt around the world and I can say without hesitation that your hunt is one of the best of my life! It's not often that you can say you’ve experienced the best hunt in the world for a particular species. When it comes to waterfowl, I have no doubt that your hunt is the best waterfowling experience in the world. You are blessed to be in the center of an incredible waterfowl habitat but that’s just the beginning of the story. What makes you guys special is your commitment to excellence, your wealth of knowledge and your hard work! I look forward to many return trips!"
All the best, 
John E. Harper

"You and your crew made our stay and hunts in Alberta "epic". The limits of honkers, specs and mallards and the comfortable hospitality have made our trip memorable. The culinary delights added an inch to our waistlines. Proud to say we hunted with Ongaro's. Totally freaking Awesome! You are the best!" Buzzy Brown and The Guys from Avery Island.

"Just a quick note to thank you for an outstanding three days of hunting. The highlight for me was when you took Ray, Carroll, John and myself on that afternoon goose hunt. Despite the dry year, you and your crew pulled it off again in the Ongaro's tradition. Our afternoon hunt should have been on film, it was that good. Thanks again, you professionalism and dedication is greatly appreciated by our group each year." Steve Cotta

As usual, the Ongaro's outing provided the stuff for tales. Thanks for your effort and attention to detail that allows for a memorable experience. You guys are the greatest." Gary Good
 
"Ongaro is the most enthusiastic outfitter with whom I have had the pleasure to hunt. The ducks rained from the sky and we managed to get quite a few geese as well. A good time was had and many a story was belied at Ongaro's comfy hunting lodge on the Alberta prairie." Frank Repka (in a Christmas letter to family and friends)

"Thank you, and the rest of your amazing team, for an incredible hunting trip at Ongaros!! Your guides couldn't have been more knowledgable, The food was top notch, and you are running an excellent operation that I can't wait to come back to. Thank you for a VERY memorable week that we hope to replay again next year." Jake Taylor

"I would like to thank you and all your staff for a hunt of a lifetime....I have been wanting to do this since I was 16 years old...and at age 59 a wish came true. This was a first class hunt in every way. I would like to thank your guides too, they did a great job." Ron Plaisance 

"Thank you and your team for the shoot of a lifetime of 40 ducks + 40 geese + 3 snows. Some things I will never forget." Steve Tucker

"This was our 4th year, so that tells a lot about the outfitter. I would recommend this trip to anyone." Pete Clausen (in a letter about Ongaro's to the Bird Hunting Report in Feb 2000) 

"I just wanted to thank you for the great hunts we had several weeks ago. Everything was first class, from the hunting, food, accommodations, guides to the friendships. I look forward to a return trip. In that regard, I would like to reserve the first available weekend next hunting season." Earl Humphry

"Enclosed is the information packet for the hunt with Claudio Ongaro during the second week of September. Half of us have hunted with Claudio several times before. We have found him to be organized, hard working and knowledgeable about his hunting range and the waterfowl." Porter Rose (in a letter to his hunting party)
