J'en suis à ma 3eme expérience de chasse à l'oie avec l'équipe de Plein ciel et pas la dernière! Les guides sont passionnés par la chasse et ont a coeur de nous faire vivre une immersion de chasse unique et des moments forts. La nouvelle maison était parfaite pour accueillir notre grande famille. Très professionnel et plaisant :) Merci !

Les guides sont très professionnels et à l’écoute de nos demandes. Ils connaissent bien l’Île et adaptent leurs stratégies en fonction de la température, du vent et du comportements des oies. Une belle récolte et plaisir garantis! Le chalet est très confortable et bien aménagé pour un grand groupe!

Site enchanteur, la pourvoirie Plein Ciel à l’Île aux Grues est l’excellence et la référence pour la chasse à l’oie blanche et ce au printemps et à l’automne. Les frères Lemieux et leur équipe sont des pros à l’écoute et au service des clients. La maison ancestrale pour l’hébergement est magnifique, à quelques pas d’où Riopelle vivait.
