hunting in Saskatchewan

[deer nut]

for those of you lucky enough to live in eastern Saskatchewan around the swan plain area i would like to ask you a ? if you could only hunt one of the 5 weeks that we (us citizens) could hunt which week would you choose and would you hunt farm land or in the bush thanks for any help

I am from the south and the best week I have had in the past few years is the second week of the season, around nov 20, rut is kicking in hard, a few years ago i would fo said the forest but the past couple winters has been super hard up north,according to gary Donald of big buck mag there has been a 50-60% death rate in the forest, they did bit better in the farmland!

good luck!!

thanks for the info i was told by some people down here (nc) that have been there that the last week was better because its colder with more snow and the deer (bucks) are worn down from rut and are hungry is there any truth to that? but i like or think i would like to be there during rut ? i just wanted some imput from you (local hunters) again thanks for any info!!

the rut down here starts big time about the second to third week of november,up norht possable a bit sooner becouse colder and more snow, check with the outfitter and other hunters to get a idea of when is best!good luck!!

I don't think the deer wintered quite as hard as people think-there's 100's of them running around right now.
