Looking to do a rifle hunt in Saskatchewan
(Whitetail ) in 2015 anybody know a good outfitter ?

You might try Pipestone Outfitting. They have taken some whopper deer over the years. They have great territory and of course, hunt the forest fringe. NE Sask.

Thanks I will check them out.
Anyone else with a sugestion.

Anyone else care to chime in ?

Try Brad Fry at Frys Canadian Outback. Hunted with Brad in 2006. Super guy.

Thanks Scott

I have hunted 4 times with Rock Ridge Outfitters in Carrot River. Excellent area and oufitter, well run, great food, excellent area.

Our deer population has been hammered by bad winters. If I were you I'd stay home or go somewhere else where there's a better chance of not wasting your money. With some luck and some good winters it'll come back. Right now its brutal.

Are you willing to look at good areas in Alberta?

Thanks Dogleg anyone else seeing this problem in Saskatchewan ? I read that some areas are suffering harvest decline. Thanks.......Sarge

Yeah magshooter. It's a definite problem. Numbers are down big time. I've had my cams out for 5 weeks now over bait and it looks dire. I hunt the fringe and in 20 years of hunting this same tract of land have never seen it this bad. Give them a couple good winters and they will come back. Always do.
We will still go and stay for a week in the wall tent and have a good time but as far as shooting a deer, I don't think it will happen. Unless of course a 220in. freak walks into my life. But not likely.
Hope this helps you. I'd wait another year if it was me.

There's maybe a dozen bucks on my cameras, but there isn't a 150 in the lot. Young bucks, does, practically no fawns. Old bucks are the first to die, and does will reabsorb their unborn fawns before they die.

My property up north has almost 3 miles bordering Prince Albert National Park and is as forest fringe as it gets. The surrounding land has been posted since the beginning of time. Most of the deer that made it did so because our neighbors and ourselves fed them. A portion of my hay crop is being left where they can get it if needed, one neighbor feeds them to watch them, and another watched them hammer his grain tubes when he could have brought it in. On the 2 hour drive to that spot yesterday we saw 1 deer. That drive should be good for 100 or 2.

Perhaps off topic, but there are a pile of bears. Never seen so many.

The south is just as bad, if not worse. Locals are debating whether the season should be closed.

I'm gonna echo what the other guys have said. Never have I saw the deer (whitetail) numbers this low. I bought a tag as a donation to an underfunded SERM. They mess up all the time and this fiasco is largely to blame on them, but maybe they will be a bit more wise in the future. Hard to stand up against lobbyists for SGI and the RCMP though when it comes time for them to set quotas and seasons.
