Pourvoirie Coucou

Pourvoirie Coucou sits on an exclusive 138 km² hunting and fishing territory in the Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, in the Outaouais, crossed by 3 rivers and dotted with more than 75 lakes. This is moose and black bear country: the territory is carved into 19 separate sectors, each set up with stands and blinds, so one party never runs into the next. Small-game hunting — partridge, spruce grouse, hare — takes over at the end of October once the moose season closes. On the fishing side, trout, walleye and northern pike come off the territory's lakes, several of them a few steps from the cabins, as well as off the Gatineau River; boats are provided on the lakes, and some waters, limited to electric motors or a canoe, offer fly fishing of rare quiet. Lodging is in fully furnished cabins sleeping up to 8, each one set on its own lake in its own secluded sector, with propane lighting, fridge, stove, wood stove and a full set of dishes. European plan: you cook, the territory does the rest.
