Saskatchewan Whitetail

This outfitters area located three hours Northeast of Saskatoon. is comprised of over 50,000 acres of farmland and forest giving this outfitter the best of both worlds. There are only a handful of outfitters in Saskatchewan that have an allocated hunting area where there is farmland making this area a real gem. Most are only allowed to hunt in the zones that are total forest which of course limits the quality and numbers of deer in their area. To reach their full potential, bucks need the nutrients found in the grain and alfalfa grown in the fields neighboring the forest. This outfitter is fortunate enough to be able to hunt the farmland, the forest, and the fringe where the two meet giving his clients the best possible opportunity at bagging the buck of their dreams. During the week most hunters will have numerous opportunities to harvest a 130” – 150” class buck. The stands include elevated box blinds (heated) that offer a full 6’4” of standing room making for a much more comfortable day on stand. They also utilize enclosed ground blinds as well as climbing tree stands if the situation dictates.
