A friend, his dad, and uncle all went on a hunt in Saskatchewan a few days ago. Each paid 5,000! For a total of 15,000! What do you think you could shoot for 5,000? Do you think you would see a deer for 5000?
Well the outfitter promised 15 to 20 bucks a day and a deer over 130?. He also said they had 300,000 acres of land to hunt on.
Well my friend got to hunt on two different stands in the thick woods overlooking a pile of hay and beans for 6 days. He only had a shot window of about 50 yards. My buddy only saw about 20 deer in 6 days and only saw 4 bucks all of which were only 2 year old deer. If he would have shot one of them they would have charged him another 1500 dollars. They would not let him drive around on this so called 300,000 acres or even hunt the clear cuts.
This gets worse. This is a senerio but it describes how they screwed them. Lets say the hunt was hunting on public land ?which it was? like around strawberry. They had an archery season, muzzle loader season, and a rifle season all on public land around strawberry. Than they have these so called special tags, tags you get to hunt in the rut. Several groups came in before friends party and hunted. Now friend gets to hunt what do you think would be left if you were hunting up by strawberry and they had all these hunts and then said you can only shoot a 25? or better 4 point or will fine you.
Be very carefully when hunting in Canada you might be paying high dollar to hunt a sh!t piece of ground that the canooks have shoot out like central Utah general over the counter deer unit.
I will post the outfitters name if friend gives permission because I would only like to warn everyone on MM so if you are thinking of using this guy you are dealing with a used car salesman and he is selling you a lemon for high dollar.
He also does bear hunts which are the same way.
