Hi i Live in New Brunswick, Canada. My Friends and I are trying to find out some info on hunting Deer in Saskatchewan for next year. I have heard of guys going out there and getting some kind of a card? wondering what we need to do in order to hunt on our own(without a guide) we also heard there is a week that any one that is a Canadian citizen can hunt it. Any Info or connections would be much appreciated!!

Thanks
Michael
 
I'm from there and do the Canadian Citizen thing cause I have to...

Anyway, go to Saskatchewan Environment and download this years synopsis. It will lay it all out for you and you won't get any false info. Straight from the source.

If you want any other info, private me and I can give you some hints.

But if I catch you in my hot spot..... well... we don't wanna go there. :)

Yes, as a Canadian resident you will be eligible to hunt whitetails for a short time at the end of the season and you won't be required to use a licensed guide/outfitter.

The SERM (Sask Environment & Resource Management) website is still offering the 2009 Hunter's Guide, but read it while we are waiting for the 2010 version, which they probably won't issue until February. There will be little if any change for 2010 in the matters you are concerned with. Season dates have been fixed for a five year period on a trial basis, including next year.

If you come here I'll show you all the places where I don't get a deer. I'm not joking, there are deer there, it's just me.
 
Deer hunting on the Prairies is not like pushing bush down East. Plan to have a cargo vehicle or 4 wheeler. Having a local knowledge of the land, who owns it, and what the rules are for trespass, will keep you out of trouble.

For almost 8 yrs I hunted in Sask with army buddies, by myself, and with extended family. There are a lot of deer in the fields. You just have to go get them. Having permissions and a sense of where to ask for permission, made all the difference. ied into a family of hunters.
 
Dress warmly!!!! AS far as i know the season for Can. res. is the last week of the season (Dec.), and it can be very cold and very deep snow, although this year was an exception.
 
This year, the last day for whitetail hunting was 07DEC and the season for Canadian residents was the last week of the season. The province is having a five year try out of fixed season dates, including next year.

If you come into Saskatoon, fire me a PM. I've got friends around Borden/Radisson that would let you hunt their property. The information you're getting is a little sketchy. The biggest buck to come out of the area this year was pushed out of a little clump of bush. There are lots of little bushes around here. If you have a hunting partner it's pretty easy to push deer out. Gotta be careful though, there are mulies and WT a plenty. If it bounces like a bunny, DON'T SHOOT ;).
Just wondering, how many easterners have ever seen a Mulie run/hop/bounce/skip, whatever you wanna call it?
 
I wouldn't book hotel rooms just yet. SERM is changing NR white tailed deer hunting regs, see below. Hopefully rumors are correct and SERM is going to limit the # of NR licenses in each GHZ.

"In 2010, changes are anticipated to white-tailed deer hunting for Canadian residents. Although the details are not yet finalized, it is hoped that the changes will result in better hunter distribution and less conflict with other users." p.1, 2009 Hunting Guide

I sure hope these limitations are province wide. If it's only in the forrest fringe the only "users" who will benefit from these changes are outfitters, at the expense of residents who hunt the grasslands and parklands.

I've seen them run out in SD but never have in hunting season. They must be a hoot to hunt. I guess there is no season for NRC in Sask ?
 
I've been watching the push to restrict Canadian resident whitetail deer hunters in Saskatchewan, all i can say to those in favor is "be careful what you wish for".
You can bet your guide support the proposed changes, as it is in their best interest.
This attitude is what led to and ensures you Saskatchewan residents, or any Canadian resident can't hunt BC without a guide or while being accompanied by a BC resident.
Once the guides no longer have to compete with nonresident Canadian hunters, the next step is to restrict Saskatchewan resident hunters. If you don't think that's what the want talk to some BC hunters, or check out the guide outfitter thread on Hunting BC.
 
I hadn't noticed us pushing to further restrict non-SK residents. I'm not in favour of that, but I'm sure some guide-outfitters think it would be a good idea to require us all to use their services.

Non-residents can hunt mule deer here, but only if they use guide/outfitters.

The only NR mule deer hunting in SK is on Indian Reserves. The only exception is under-subscribed antler-less mule deer draw tags which SERM has on occasion sold to NR (CDN) hunters.
