Looking for a Saskatchewan recommendation !

Looking for an outfitter recommendation in Saskatchewan for this year .
Not really into the big lodges
Would like to find a smaller outfit that puts more emphasis in the hunt then 5* meals and accommodations

Two winters ago we had -50 for about a week. Down in the south a lot of deer perished. Whitetail numbers last fall were very low (down 90% in my area).

This winter was better, but I suggest looking central Sask up toward the tree belt. Deer were doing a lot better up there until they got 4' of snow this spring - a friend of mine said the deer were stuck, starving and couldn't even move.

Not sure how much of an impact it made on populiation but down here in the south numbers are low. Haven't seen any fawns yet, but they should be comin' any day!

East Central might be your best bet, but im no expert, just a hick who likes to hunt.

Does it have to be Saskatchewan? I hunted with an outfitter in Alberta last year. He is exactly what you described. I saw a lot of deer and killed a buck that was pushing 150" as an 8 pointer. There were 9 guys in camp and 7 tagged out. The two guys that didn't tag out had opportunities. one passed a really nice nine pointer the first day...the 2nd pic is the buck he passed. The other guy missed twice.
