Has anyone out there travelled to sask. for deer or moose. Where is the best place to go? Who are the best outfitters? What is involved paperwise? I would be travelling from Manitoba so probably driving there. What are the prices like? Any info would be great. Thank you

As stated above, whitetail deer can be hunted by a Canadian resident without a guide, but moose cannot.
Our moose population is is trouble in most of the northern forest. Habitat changes, far too much pressure by aboriginal hunters exercising treaty rights, some poaching and wolf predation, and winter tick mortality has hit them hard. There are still a few good outfitters with decent success rates in a few pockets, mostly fly - in. You will need to do your homework.
The very best moose hunting success in recent years in Saskatchewan has been in the farmland, on private land. Populations are booming, because of limited entry draws, little unregulated hunting and poaching, and no predators. But that opportunity is unavailable to hunters from out of province. Sorry!

The whitetail licenses for out of province hunters recently went from over-the-counter availability to a lottery draw. The relevant information is in last year's guide.

A new one will be published eventually, but it is unlikely that any rules will have changed. Season dates are fixed so that is still useful.
