Buck Paradise Staff

Grant and Lana

Owner/Operator

Buck Paradise started in 1997 and it grew fast and furious. When you love what you do it isn't work. When not outfitting Grant grain farms over 3000 acres with Ian and Garet. Lana works full time for Cenovus Energy. We both love people and are thankful for this business and grateful for the people we have met who are now dear friends. We are also blessed to have the best staff we could ask for that we consider our family. Enjoy the rest of the staff gallery. Without these wonderful people we would not be able to make Buck Paradise the success that it is!

Sharon and Noella are the hostesses and take very good care of our hunters. Making sure everything is clean and tidy as well as where to find a cold beer. They are not scared of hard work and long hours. They are a pleasure to work with and is pretty easy to convince it is time for happy hour. These ladies are Mother Hens to all our guests and guides and can pretty much help out anywhere necessary. Cheers to these beauties!

Raymond

Chef

Raymond Duddy comes from Ceylon, Saskatchewan with 25 years of cooking experience. He also has 10 years at a high end fishing lodge in Northern Saskatchewan. He specializes in homemade baking and home cooked meals. Food is the heart of the home and Ray makes sure there is always of plenty of food. There isn't much better than the smell of homeade bread or cinnamon buns and always plenty of bacon and fresh ground coffee in the AM. The evening there is typically some Grade AAA beef grillin on the Traegar. Scrumptious! If you have been here, you know what we are talking about. We are grateful to have Ray as part of our Buck Paradise family.

Blaine

Guide

Blaine is Whitetail and Waterfowl guiding this year. Besides being an avid fisherman and hunter, Blaine is an excellent carpenter and pretty much a jack of all trades. He is a huge asset to our BP Family and we know you will love getting to know him better this Fall. When he isn't working hard, he golfs, plays ball and loves to have a cold beer at the end of the day. Our kind of guy!
