Saskatchewan Canada Goose Hunts
Hunt geese in
Saskatchewan, the "land of living skies". Northern
Saskatchewan Canada is defined by an immense agricultural landscape
of harvested peas, wheat and barley, well away from the US
freelance goose hunters that swarm the province further
south. Innumerable water bodies in this region form the final
element necessary for consistently decoying staging and migrating
ducks and geese in consistently number.
These Saskatchewan Canada goose hunts occur in the northern portion of the province, some of the first agricultural habitat south-bound migrating geese encounter. High-quality Dakota Decoys, Finisher ground blinds and thousands of acres exclusive-use gained through years of working relationships are integral to this successful hunting operation. Full-time scouts are dedicated to finding the hottest fields for the next hunt, and guides concentrate on putting geese in the decoys.
This particular waterfowl zone allows goose hunting mornings-only, which provides a respite from hunting pressure for the duration of the season. Afternoon duck hunts near potholes produce excellent results.
Saskatchewan bag limits are 8 dark geese (3 white-fronts), 20 snow geese and 8 ducks (3 pintail). Mallards and pintail comprise the bulk of bagged ducks. Morning hunts are usually dry field affairs, with a solid mix of decoying ducks and geese. Afternoon hunts for ducks are usually over or near potholes adjacent to hot cropland.
Timing
Saskatchewan Canada goose hunt from early-September through October.

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 those birds passing through 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.
