Best week to hunt Whitetails in Saskatchewan

[F250]

My wife and I have contacted several outfitters in Saskatchewan regarding booking a deer hunt in 2027. Americans must use the services of a licensed outfitter for hunting big game there. We are narrowing down the week we want to hunt. I’m looking for input from members with experience hunting in Saskatchewan.

Your best three options are as followed:
1. the rut;
2. the rut; and
3. the rut.

Personally, I'd pick anything between 15 Nov and 7 Dec. Snow fall usually puts a damper on things, but chances are you'll be hunting over bait with an outfitter so that shouldn't really be an issue. Sk isn't what it used to be and last year was by far my worst whitetail hunting year to date and the first time I didn't punch a whitetail tag in 15 years. I would definitely ask the outfitter how the herd is doing but know that trophy quality might suck donkeys.

Which outfitter are you looking at going with? (feel free to PM). Funny enough, headed back to my old stomping grounds this fall to hunt Eastern Townships whitetails!

Most will just lie to you and continue to book you regardless of the resource, just like typical dirtbag outfitters in the States.
