Your Host - Lyle Duperron
Lyle has been a resident in the province of Alberta his entire life and began as a guiding assistant when he was just 14. Lyle’s family has been living from the land for over 400 years in Canada and he is proud to bring this knowledge and tradition to clients to make their experience with Lightning D truly memorable.
His philosophy is that hunting or fishing is an entire experience and at the end of the trip what you really want is some memories that will last a lifetime. There’s not much to tell when you fill your tag on the first day, but the campfire stories will go on for years of the experience that pushes you to the limit.
Lyle takes his role very seriously when it comes to wildlife conservation. As a member of APOS (Alberta Professional Outfitters Society) he has his annual allotment of tags, but as he points out, conservation comes first and business is second when it comes to being a steward of the land. I feel it’s important to know your surroundings and know what the proper limit is. If I think 15 is the right number, that’s what I’m comfortable with. We all have a responsibility to manage the resource and to take an active role in conservation.”
