Black Bear Hunts / Fishing
I (Devin) will try and meet everyone at the Lounge in your hotel for a meet and greet every Saturday night if it works with everyones flights. We leave Sunday morning at 10:00am from the hotel lobby, stop at Cabelas where you can buy some fishing lures that are not provided, (I do supply fishing rods) and then drive to Leoville which is about a two hour drive.
I have three different camps that I can keep hunters at so it depends where the big bear are at to determine where we will be staying, or if you have a preference of where you would like to stay. When we get to Leoville we will stop at the grocery store and get treats, bottled water, soda, or alcohol.
Two of my camps I can get to with a truck and the third camp we have to ride UTV’s into, so the ride into camp will vary. Once there, we will settle into camp, sight in our weapons, and sign the licenses.
Every morning we have a big hearty breakfast and then go out fishing. We eat a big dinner at 2:00pm and head out to our bear stands around 4:00pm. You will either ride in a UTV or a little 4×4 jeep. We have two different types of stands for bear hunting, neither have rails around so you must bring a safety harness. All of our bait stations are around 20 yard shots. If you don’t shoot a bear I will give you a $500 credit to next years hunt. There will be a $1500 fine for any color bear that doesn’t weigh more than 200 pounds.
For the fishing, two of my cabins are located on good fishing lakes and the other one has a good lake about a mile away, as well as being close to different lakes.
Plan on staying over night again at the Hotel on Saturday night and book your flight home for Sunday. Please keep in touch with me after you booked a hunt through email and/or give me call on my cell phone 1-306-821-2726.
Prior to Your Hunt...
NON-RESIDENT FIREARM DECLARATION FORM
The client must print off the Non-Resident Fire Arm Declaration form. It can be filled out but not signed until in front of the customs agent.
OBTAIN HAL NUMBER
All hunters need to get a HAL number for their first time hunting in Saskatchewan, that will then be their personal number for future hunts in Saskatchewan. This number needs to be e-mailed to me in order to get the hunting license. To obtain your HAL click here.
BOOK HOTEL ROOM AFTER CONFIRMING HUNTING PACKAGE WITH DEVIN
Hotel rooms for the Saturdays before and after the hunt can be booked at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel 1-306-986-4993 or the Sandman Hotel 1-306-477-4844. These rooms need to be booked as soon as possible, as during hunting season they fill up early call me before you book so I can tell you which hotel to book with and how much it costs.
PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE SHOOTING
This cannot be stressed enough because as we expect an ethical shot on all bear. If a bear is wounded and not found the hunt is considered over unless a fee of $1600 is paid.
