My 16 year old drawn for Mule Deer in Zone 2E (Sask)?

[350 Mag]

My oldest boy is drawn for E/S Mule Deer in Zone 2E.

I am thinking of BlackPowder hunt.

Anyone have any info on area or accessible land?

Thinking of staying in Val Marie but not opposed to camping either?

Wood mountain camp ground, or stay in Glentworth.

I hunted that zone a couple years ago. It's a good zone. Most of the community pastures are closed for muzzleloader season, cattle are still on the land. So that leaves knocking on doors of ranchers and farmers. Suggest you do your scouting early and ask early too. Get an RM map in Val Marie. Most landowner concerns are about vehicles. Fires can start from catalytic converters, and flat grass feeds no cattle. Be VERY careful not to drive off any roads or graded trails and inform landowners that you hunt on foot only - including retrieving game. That will help you gain permission, and opportunities to hunt.

Practise your long shots to get anything in that zone.

Thanx....I will remember to throw pack frame and game bags in.

Tough to go early it's 9 hour drive for me...

A fire ban isn't far away down here. Its so damn dry the whole country is tinder. Pray for rain or you won't be getting on any ones place.

Ya I guess your right Blackpowder and dry grass would make farmers nervous.

Might have to go rifle?

I am going to invest in Crossbow....as well.

I suggest the following: Purchase land owner map, scout, scout, scout, knock on farmers door where you spotted mule deer and ask for permission, talk to rural bus drivers, grader operators, County Constables, RCMP, Game Wardens. Scouting is key, therefore; fill-up your gas tank and make a lot of miles. BTW, don't forget your binoculars and spotting scope.

Being that it's 9 hour drive... I will only be making 1 trip.....

I think I might be S.O.L....but at least it will be an adventure....and a chance to see different countryside.
