Title: Saskatchewan guided deer hunts??
Post by: trophyhunt on December 06, 2023, 06:44:19 PM: My buddy and I are considering one of these hunts, we both would love one of those giants. Any recommendations?

Post by: C-Money on December 07, 2023, 06:28:06 AM: Are you guys thinking whitetail or mule deer hunting? I know they have whitetails, but man do they have some monster muleys as well!

Well crap, now you went and put that in my head!! :chuckle: Man, I'm not sure now. I know my buddy was thinking whitetails, but for me it would have to be a Monster white over a big mule deer. Both are on my wish list, but I bet my odds are better of taking a monster whitey in Wa than a huge mule deer. So, I'd prob lean towards the big mule deer in Canada.

Post by: C-Money on December 07, 2023, 06:57:26 AM: Me too...I've seen pictures, mounts, and heard stories from friends that have hunted Mule deer up there. If I was planning a hunt for a big mule deer, Saskatchewan would be at the top of the list!!! Hope you find a good outfitter. My friend gained access to hunting up there through a connection at his work. I haven't been able to hint (beg) well enough to get to tag along one of these years. Fingers crossed I'll get to hunt there someday.

Note...Friend hunts Alberta, not Saskatchewan

It sounds like those hunts are definitely not what you’re looking for. I’m not 100% positive, I just started researching hunts up there. Alberta has a lot to offer for hunts though.

:yeah:
Little to no mule deer hunting for nonresidents but lots of whitetail opportunity. Alberta would be the place to go for mule deer specific hunts.

Post by: C-Money on December 07, 2023, 07:21:13 AM: Maybe I am FOS, Thought my friend was hunting Saskatchewan. Maybe they hunt Alberta? Which would be pretty ok with me! Love seeing Canadian prairie bucks. There must be a good place to hunt east of Calgary or Edmonton...

Note...They hunt Alberta

Post by: jjhunter on December 07, 2023, 09:27:32 AM: For whitetail, I think you get a better value in Alberta. At least in my research. I’m headed north in ‘24!

You got an outfitter picked out yet? I’ve been researching heavy, it’s hard for me to go whitetail because I suck at sitting in a stand…. The spot and stalk of a mulie is more appeasing.
Title: Re: Saskatchewan guided deer hunts??
Post by: kentrek on December 07, 2023, 12:21:30 PM: You should be able to find a place that does both WT/mulie and then hunt what ever floats your boat.

Big muledeer are gona cost more money, personally feel giant whitetails are harder to kill...both are killer animals when they have age

Post by: jjhunter on December 07, 2023, 12:47:42 PM: I haven’t signed a contract yet, but have narrowed it down.

Probably have it booked in the next week or two.

This is a first for me, so hesitant to recommend anything until I’ve seen it first hand. I’ll post something on here after the hunt.

Post by: bigmacc on December 07, 2023, 03:43:07 PM: As some know my great grandma is from Alberta, her and the family “migrated “😆 into the states when she was around 10. They eventually made their way to Nebraska where they lived for awhile, ranching and farming. 1880,s- early1900,s. She would tell stories around hunting camp(Little Bellingham) when I was a boy of the bucks they killed in Alberta. She told stories of going to other ranches for “rendezvous”,(she was French/Canadien)birthday parties, holidays etc. She said it was always a great time to go to her cousins once a year and see all the antlers that were hanging on the fencing, every year there were more and more. She would say there were hundreds of sets, some, unbelievably big, she would hold her hands out to about a 3’ width or so👍 I could sit and listen to her stories for hours. I remember a story of her and her sister (her sister held the bullets😆) killing a huge buck at the age of 9 or 10, the buck was feeding on food that was meant for the cattle. Her dad handed her a rifle and told her to “put one behind the ear”, so as to not waste any meat. She did, approximately 120 yards or so, open sights. Buck down. She said “to many points to count, we didn’t care”. Those that know her know where her shooting took her. I sure wish we had pictures of those times, just the stories. There used to be some huge bucks in “Berta”, I’m sure there still is👍

Oops, correction, just looked at the journal. Behind the ear at “about 40 yards”. 120 was an elk her sister killed the next morning.👍

Post by: greenhead_killer on December 07, 2023, 06:32:58 PM: That would be a killer hunt in Saskatchewan for a monster whitetail. Like others have stated, I believe the md are off limits for non residents. It would be worth your while to go for a giant whitetail though. Alberta has some giants deer as well and can do combo hunts. I was last up there in 2019 for a wt hunt and shot a nice one. I want to get back up and do it again
Title: Re: Saskatchewan guided deer hunts??
Post by: JWBINX on December 07, 2023, 06:34:48 PM: Check out Billy Franklin, he has Silver Sage Outfitters out of Brooks Alberta.
They have great Mule deer and White tail.
Get ready to open up the check book.
I did three hunts with his brother Jack Franklin in the early 90s.
Billy now runs the operation. They also kill some amazing Antelope.

would you recommend your outfitter? What did your deer score?

You may also want to think about going to the Utah expo. Lots of Canadian outfitters at the show.

And what most don’t know is that 165 is on a clean 8, besides that stupid split brow.
Freaking giant of an 8.

Post by: greenhead_killer on December 07, 2023, 07:47:10 PM: The deer are hard to judge because the bodies are so big. A standard mass buck might look 150 but be well over 170 because the disproportionate body size. This was a no brainer though and was exactly what I was looking for. If I could do it every year, I would. I love it up there. Bryan puts on a top notch experience as well. Can’t recommend him enough.

Spoke to my friend this morning. He hunts in Alberta, not Saskatchewan. I was wrong when I stated he hunted muleys in Saskatchewan. I was not wrong stating there are some monsters up there. Hope Trophyhunt lands a great opportunity up north.

Most all those bucks in Hanks are from Jack and Billy Franklin in Brooks Alberta.
I met Hank and Jimmy (aka-Fishy) at the Franklins in the 90s.
Hank is one super nice guy!
