Your Hosts
Bob & Norma Byers
Boss Guiding has been successfully guiding hunters in South Central Alberta since 1984, based out of Nighthaven Lodge since 1995. A proud member of the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society, we offer guided hunts for ducks, geese, pheasants and deer. Deer hunting for whitetails and mule deer is done with the bow in Sept/Oct and we will be offering a limited number of whitetail rifle hunts in November 2012. Waterfowling is our specialty and we had some very high quality bow hunts if you are into deer hunting.
We do not promote large numbers of hunters as we are very conscious of the pressure on local game by both resident and non-resident hunters. If you are tired of being caught up in the "numbers" game and want to experience excellent shooting from quality blinds over state of the art decoys, stay with your family and/or hunting companions in comfortable accommodations and be treated as friends rather than clients then you want to book your next hunting experience with Boss Guiding.
Nighthaven Lodge is situated in the country west of Stettler Alberta. Your hosts, Bob & Norma Byers, owners & operators of Boss Guiding, would like to invite you to three days of incredible waterfowling.
Bob has been an avid hunter and outdoorsman all his life. He is also an accomplished taxidermist as visitors to Nighthaven Lodge will attest. Past President of APOS, Bob is keenly aware of the role that outfitting plays in the big scheme of things Province wide.
Norma is head cook and bottle washer and provides some levity when she announces to new groups that she has heard every hunting story there is to tell, only the names, places and dates have changed Norma will make sure that you are looked after with all the comforts of home. You never leave hungry or feeling like the staff has not gone the full ten miles to make your stay and excellent and memorable experience.

News
No strangers to international hunting, Bob & Norma(for the most part) have travelled to hunt in the neighbouring provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan, been on three hunting safaris to South Africa and visited Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, hunted in Finland and Tajikistan.
Nighthaven Lodge provides comfortable accommodations based on double occupancy. Guests are treated like visiting family members. This beautiful country lodge provides a relaxed atmosphere that features a one acre trout pond, outdoor gardens and fire pit for evening happy hour (weather permitting) and is just right for unwinding after the day's hunting adventures are complete. Meals are served upstairs in the Dining room and downstairs accommodation surrounds a great room and bar.
Bob Byers - Owner/Operator
Bob has been hunting in Alberta since he was old enough to legally do so. Bo has been operating Boss Guiding for over 25 years. He is the "bird guy" at Boss Guiding and co-ordinates the bird part of our operation. Bob enjoys hunting big game with his rifle and has travelled internationally to hunt.
Norma Byers - Owner/Operator
Since Norm's retirement in 2007 she has become the bookkeeper, bed maker, cook and cleaner upper at Nighthaven Lodge. An integral part of your hunting day, she will see that your stay is worry free so you can enjoy what you came to do - hunt!
Jason Byers - Owner/Operator
Jason is the "head" guide and it is no accident that he is the "deer guy" as he is an accomplished bow hunter. He spends three months each fall guiding hunters for birds, deer and moose. In his spare time he manages to "squeeze in" some hunting of his own.
Erin Byers - Guest cook
Erin usually takes a week or two away from her regular job to help out at Nighthaven. She is an excellent cook and likes to try new recipes out on our hunters. She sometimes brings the grandchildren and they are a pleasant distraction. They are just getting to the age when they will want to go hunting.
Len Currie - Waterfowl guide
Len is our main bird guide and after teaching school for an eternity he has finally discovered that he and his dog Tika are happy working in the out of doors. Pleasant and personable, Len will help make your hunt a special experience.
Cody Rowledge - Guide
Cody has been with us for over ten years and although he has a wife and full time job he still manages to be "around" to help on a day to day basis. Cody is an accomplished bird and big game guide and hunter.
Al Campbell - Driver
Al, the Minister of Tourism for Stettler Alberta, has been hauling hunters to & from Calgary International Airport to quite a number of years. Conspicuous with his white hair and handlebar moustache, there are few questions that Al can't answer and fewer topics that he does not have an opinion on.
Bob Rawlusyk - Waterfowl Guide
"Hockey Bob" rounds out our staff. Bob suffered a minor set back this past year but is coming along nicely and will (we hope) be back in the saddle next year.
"Many experiences are as much about the people you share them with as they are about the experience itself. At Boss Guiding we have a staff that will make your experience special"
Bob Byers
