Whitetail Deer Hunts
I (Devin) always like to try and meet everyone at the lounge of your hotel in Saskatoon for a meet and greet every Saturday night if it works with your flights and your not to tired. We leave Sunday morning at 11:00am from the hotel lobby, stop at Cabela’s and then start driving to the lodge which is about a 2.5 hour drive. We will have a pit stop at Blaine Lake gas station to go to the bathroom and grab a slice of pizza and drink if you want around 1:00pm. If you are driving up just please be at the lodge around 4:00pm I have printable directions under lodging. LINK FOR DIRECTIONS. Once you get to camp there will be appetizers waiting for you. We will sight in rifles, get licenses straightened out, pay final balances, sign waivers, look at trail camera pictures and have a great home cooked meal.
The next morning we will wake up have a hearty breakfast, pack you a lunch and take you out to your stand before sunrise and hunt there till sunset. We have a few different types of stands such as double tree stands, single tree stands, and heated ground blinds. After legal shooting the guide will pick you up and bring you back to camp for a great home cooked meal served by our chefs.
If need be, on the sixth day you can hunt until 12:00pm and if you don’t shoot a deer I will give you a $1000 credit to next years hunt. There is a $1500 fine for any mainframe 10 point or more shot under that doesn’t gross over 150 inches.
Plan on staying overnight again at the hotel on Saturday night and book your flight home for Sunday.

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.
