White-tailed deer hunting at our outfitter in Saskatchewan

About white-tailed deer hunting

Winters in Saskatchewan have been relatively mild for several years and the province’s white-tailed deer population therefore continues to grow. In some cases bucks reach maturity without ever having encountered humans. Very few places in the world can boast of harboring trophy class deer such as those found in Saskatchewan, which also happens to hold the world record for the largest white-tailed deer felled by Milo Hanson on November 23, 1993 with a total score of over 213 points Boone and Crockett.

Located in central Saskatchewan, our vast territory constitutes a favored habitat for white-tailed deer with its valleys and streams bordered by the Canadian boreal forest and agricultural land.

Western Trophy Outfitters enjoys a large deer population and numerous trophy class specimens with massive antlers have been harvested with the largest registering 205 Boone and Crockett points. We are proud to operate a 450-square kilometer territory where the big game often reaches trophy class. Just the same, not all of our clients will be able to leave with their dream trophy because everyone has their own idea of what constitutes the trophy of their dreams. To that end, before shooting, we would ask that you ensure that the game in your line of sight corresponds to what you are seeking. If that is not the case, patience is probably in order. If you are seeking a guaranteed hunting adventure, we suggest that you go where the game is fenced in. Although we can boast a 90 percent success rate, the only guarantee we can offer is that we will do our very best to send you home satisfied. Keep in mind that a large number of our hunters return regularly and hunt only the biggest game. As a result, numerous deer that don’t qualify in that class are passed over each year. We hope that our clients harvest trophy class game and the quality of the game captured is, in our eyes, far more important than the quantity.

Your adventure with us

You should make your flight arrangements to arrive in Saskatoon no later than 10:00 on Saturday morning so that a member of our staff can meet you directly at the airport and transfer you to the outfitter. After a two-and-a-half hour drive, you will arrive to our camp where you will immediately feel at home. You will be greeted as a friend by our highly qualified personnel whose primary goal is to ensure that you have a successful hunting trip while taking care of the numerous details that will make your stay an unforgettable adventure. Typically, our groups consist of six hunters.

You will hunt from Sunday until Friday night. Early in the morning, after a full and hearty breakfast, you will leave camp with your guide who will bring you by truck and ATV to your strategic hunting location. You will bring along your lunch, which you will have chosen from a variety of healthy and nutritious foods. You will also have a portable two-way radio that we will have supplied to you upon your arrival which will allow you to remain in contact with your guide at all times. Note that cellular phones work in certain areas only. Your guide will set you up in your hunting blind and if the weather is particularly cold we will arrange heating for your comfort. The majority of our tree stands are set up for a shooting range of 50 to 125 yards. Adult white-tailed deer are imposing and weigh more than 300 pounds, therefore we recommend using at least a 270-caliber rifle. By the end of the day, your guide will take you back to the camp where a nice fire will warm you up and a great home-made meal will be waiting for you to be shared with your hunting companions, each one of them of course having their very own hunting story to tell.

The cape and antlers of your hunting trophy will be prepared by your guide according to your wishes. Early Saturday morning, a member of our staff will drive you to the airport in Saskatoon for the departure of your return flight.
