About the Area - Saskatchewan Canada Goose
Hunting
Some of the most enduring images of Saskatchewan are
endless fields of golden wheat waving in a gentle breeze, stoic
grain elevators, and modest, welcoming communities where the pace
of life leaves time for living. And even though times change and
people come and go, one true thing endures: the Saskatchewan
prairie's soul.
Saskatchewan is located in the heart of North America. To the
east and west are the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Alberta.
To the south it borders the American states of Montana and North
Dakota. To the north are Canada's Northwest Territories and
Nunavut. More than a quarter million square miles in size,
its population of about one million is only one-third that of
Mississippi and nearly half its residents lives among the cities of
Saskatoon and Regina.
Saskatchewan's people are its heart and soul - warm, friendly
and deeply connected to the land. Whether you visit for an
afternoon or stay for a month, the inevitable sense of calm will
envelop you, the wide open skies will awaken you to a world of
possibilities, and the spirit of the people will leave a profound
and lasting impression.
Sometimes Saskatchewan's giant sky is alive: It starts with a
sound off in the distance; was that a duck or a goose calling out?
Wait, it sounds like more than one. Within seconds, the first
V-shaped flock appears, the hard-working followers forming two
giant lines behind a determined leader. Then another flock, and
each successive flock appears larger than the last. Maybe you
get goose bumps when you realize what you're seeing. The sky has
filled with birds for as far as the eye can see. During the
spring and fall migrations, both residents and migrators find
Saskatchewan's habitat to be a perfect gathering place or refueling
stop. For avid waterfowlers, few experiences compare to the
spectacle of Saskatchewan Canada goose hunting.
