About

Pourvoirie Vent de la Savane sits on a vast 82 km² exclusive territory in the heart of Lanaudière, near Saint-Michel-des-Saints, dotted with about thirty lakes (roughly 32, around fifteen of them open) and more than 200 km of trails. It is a quota-managed hunting, fishing and getaway outfitter: only a limited number of guests are taken in to protect the quality of the experience and the health of the wildlife, supported by a team of biologists and a catch-and-release policy for pike. Multi-species fishing is offered on stocked and natural lakes — brook trout (stocked and native), northern pike and yellow perch — on a European plan, with no gas motors allowed. The hunting territory is divided into 11 cabin-linked sectors: moose, deer, black bear and small game (ruffed grouse, spruce grouse, hare, waterfowl). Lodging is in about ten lakeside cabins (4 to 12 people), from rustic to more modern, off-grid but fully equipped; self-contained camping (boondocking) near Lac Drapeau is also offered. Four-season getaway packages (including corporate formulas), snowmobile-access winter packages, and all-inclusive guided packages for European clients (with airport pickup and meals) round out the offering.

In winter, access is by snowmobile only (snowmobile transport from the village to the outfitter available on request). A $20-per-vehicle right-of-way fee (registration required) applies for ATV/truck/4x4 travel. A territory map is available for free download on Avenza.
