Saskatchewan Mule deer

[Sakko300wsm]

Anybody here ever hunted Mule deer in Saskatchewan? Making the trip this fall - looking fwd to it!

Would love to hear how this hunt plays out.  Been looking in to mule deer in Alberta for a few years now and just haven't pulled the trigger....pun intended.   

You should have a great hunt...

Ya I definitely hope it is a good one! I know there were some dandies taken this yr!!
Will be a November hunt

I bird hunted there every year before covid. I've seen some real wall hangers. I was told it was draw only even for residents for the entire providence and only residents could apply. How did you get a tag? I've killed some big mule deer but I've seen some up there that dwarf even my 30"er.

There are some gnarly mule deer in Saskatchewan and Alberta both! Good luck and keep us posted! If you don't mind sharing I would be interested in your overall cost on the trip as well. What are you estimating it to cost you?

I just read the other day there is no nonresident mule deer hunting in Saskatchewan

Not on any type of public - it’s a few hundred thousand acre native property

Does anyone else have an issue with Canadians coming down here to hunt and we cant hunt up there? I think its BS! They have more animals and less people, yet put in for our draws

You can hunt in Saskatchewan, they just require you to use an outfitter who is allocated tags. This is what your looking for!

I’m not sure your statement is accurate.   Hunting Canada happens by a lot of US Citizens every year.

I think the fact that you have to have an outfitter anywhere in Canada for any big game hunting is the part that gets folks upset. I too agree that we should reciprocate and make any Canadian citizen wanting to hunt the states use an outfitter

Yes exactly, I meant DIY. Paying $5k+ for a guided hunt isn't really in the cards for me.
Just frustrating seeing all the options they have, and then drawing our sought after tags in NM, WY, and such.

I think non-res have required to use a guide in Canada for decades.   Seems reasonable.  Hunters are a primary source of income for many in the rural areas. .  Stone sheep hunts are in the $50k-$85k range now.  Grizzly hunts recently outlawed, Caribou quotas cut, lotta pressure on guides to make a living.

Should be a great hunt, looking forward to your story and photos, good luck!
