The Saskatchewan
winters have been mild for nearly a decade now, and the whitetail deer, with
great forage and super genetics, have flourished and matured. The older bucks
and fawns, usually the most susceptible to winter’s harsh realities, have
been thriving. In the years to come, in the properly managed areas, hunters
can expect the best seasons ever!
HUNTING METHOD:
The hunting method of choice in the forested
regions of the province, is stand-hunting. Saskatchewan regulations permit
baiting and this has proven to be a very effective way to concentrate the
deer. The hunter should expect to sit on stand for hours at a time, all day
preferably. Properly equipped, any hunter can do this. The outfitter
does have heated insulated tower blinds, and five times that number of
tent blinds that can be heated if need be.
The hunting season normally runs through all of
November and into December with one earlier two-week rifle season at the
beginning of October.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
Every one of our clients has a radio and your
guide will be in contact with you during the day to see if you need help, or
have killed a buck.
We use insulated tower blinds and ground blinds. Either one will keep you out
of the wind and comfortable. Some stands are set up some distance from the
baits and shots can be long. Most stands are set for shots of 50-200 yards.
Our bucks are huge-bodied, upwards of 300 pounds, so I suggest rifles of .270
and up. Any of the magnums are excellent choices.
Our accommodations are top notch; warm cabins and
lodgings set in the Saskatchewan north. We serve excellent home-cooked meals,
the showers are hot, the service always comes with a smile and given notice,
we can usually accommodate special needs diets.
