WHITETAIL DEER HUNTING

Saskatchewan has become renowned as one of the best places in North America to harvest an outstanding trophy whitetail.

A combination of excellent genes, good habitat, low hunting pressure and the ability to bait, especially in the forested areas . . . greatly enhances your odds of bagging the buck of your dreams.

Many visitors to Saskatchewan have experienced "BUCK FEVER" and the unbridled excitement that comes with harvesting the best buck of their hunting careers!

Our harvest rate (with the majority of hunters being repeat customers) has averaged approximately 80% over our 23 years in business, with the average deer being 135 - 150 points. One in four deer will exceed 160 points, with the chance of a record book buck always a distinct possibility.

The live weights of mature bucks usually exceed 230 pounds on most years and occasionally over 300 pounds.   , 10% of our deer gross over 175 points, although this varies according to hunter selectivity and patience, as well as luck and timing.

Weather is the main uncontrollable factor in hunting trophy whitetails.  Our deer hunts are conducted overlooking baited areas while the hunter sits in the comfort of a tower blind or camouflaged tent ground blind.  Comfortable chairs and heaters are provided.

Patience and the ability to sit quietly are a prerequisite to taking a "Trophy Whitetail".  Your guide will take you to your blind in the predawn, where you will sneak quietly into your stand.  Even though the majority of bucks are taken mid-day, your dream deer can show up at any time, and experienced Saskatchewan hunters soon learn that all-day vigilance is required.  It only takes 5 seconds to bag the "Buck of Your Dreams", as he often appears when you least expect him!!!

Our whitetail camp is located 25 miles south east of Meadow Lake.  (Check our MAPS link.)  We access our areas by 4x4 and / or ATVs in the more remote areas.  Accommodations are modern, clean and comfortable, with home cooked meals.  We also have an outpost farm that we hunt on near the Beaver River, 50 miles to the west.

Most of our hunters fly into either the Edmonton or Saskatoon International Airport on the Saturday preceeding the hunt and drive to camp on Sunday to get settled and sight in their rifles.  (It is recommended that you arrive one day early in case of lost or late luggage arrivals.)
