there is no reason for future years will not to be as well.
The 5
years of antler restrictions (6 pts) and no cow/calf harvest is paying dividends
in both numbers and trophy quality. We have more 6 x 6 elk than
hunters.

Saskatchewan Outfitter #1
(
whitetail deer, bear, fishing, ecotours including "northern lights" )
Hunting Options (bow, rifle, or muzzleloader): 5
day packages
now with Limo pick-up in Saskatoon
With camps in
different areas of the province, we have some of the best hunting you will find.
We hunt forest fringe areas as well as farmland bordering parcels of big bush
with lots of alfalfa fields, making for excellent whitetail hunting. We scout
our areas so we know game feeding & movement patterns.
What is one of the reasons for Hawkrock's success year after year? They restrict
the number of hunters booked each year. Allan's priority is big bucks, not
putting as many hunters through his territory that is allowable. 170 + bucks are taken by his guests each year because of
this policy. Price is $4500 US
Black bear hunts with world class pike fishing
Whitetail Deer hunting in
Saskatchewan
Our deer population is high and many record bucks are taken each
year as well as lots of respectable bucks which would make any hunter happy. We
welcome guests during the November season. We run between 20 to 30 stands and
ground blinds in different settings. We take only 18 (90% opportunity)
hunters/year and average class 145 or better.
We
have success even in years when many others have excuses.

Bear hunting
with us will be very enjoyable and successful for you. We take spring hunters
and you will find good color phase with the average size being between 200 - 400
+ pounds. Skull size is more important that weight in determining your bear. If
a big bear is your dream then you have to look at this outfitter. Bear with
skulls over 20 inches are more the norm than the exception. In fact a 2005
hunter jumped the gun and took a 18" bear early in his hunt and this outfitter
was disappointed because his goal was for each hunter to take a bear over 20
inches. 2006 saw a new custom boat being used to access territory not available
in the past. Includes world class northern pike fishing. We specialize in bow
hunts. Excellent in our hunting territory.
Bird hunts: we feel you will find it hard to find a better spot in Saskatchewan
then the Porcupine area. We have an extremely high population of geese and
ducks. Generally we hunt geese in the morning and ducks in the afternoon. Each
hunter can take 12 geese and 12 ducks home. Ideal if you want to bring you dog
along to give him a great workout collecting the birds.

Fantastic Remote FLY-IN Fishing Huge Northern Pike are plentiful and extremely
aggressive; we have caught over 100 in a day Our policy is catch and release - barbless hooks only. Every party the
last few years has caught at least a 20 pound fish!
Our fishing camp is
located at the northern tip of Saskatchewan just 60 miles south of the Northwest
Territories border. Our lakes are small enough that you'll always be able to
fish, no matter what the wind or weather conditions. From camp, you can fish a
number of lakes in addition to the many miles of the Hawkrock River. Our new in
2006 jet boat will get you places on the River that few have been.
Arctic Grayling for the amateur or experienced angler in fast flowing
rapids will keep you entertained for hours. They love to give you a good
fight.
Walleye are plentiful as well and
fishable almost any time and place we fish; delicious
Lunker Lake Trout: on average we catch and release 40 to 50
trout per boat daily with sizes averaging 15 to 18 pounds but some come in at
40.
It sure makes our
clients happy.
Northern Lights viewing is great in late August through the winter. Or come and enjoy some snowmobiling (trails hundreds of miles long), cross-country skiing, canoeing, or just come and photograph the abundant wildlife in the area (moose, wolves, coyotes, deer are seen often). We feed the deer and elk so you will get to see them up close.
Your experience with us starts as soon as they pick you up at your Saskatoon Hotel. You are then on your vacation until they deliver you back to the Airport. We wants you to have a great time, not worry about getting to here.

Manitoba Outfitter #6

Black bear hunts - fly-in
rifle; archery or muzzleloader
We have two large tracts of Atikaki Wilderness Park allocated for operation
black bear hunts. Atikaki is an Ojibwa meaning "country of the caribou" and what
a country it is. During your float plane ride you will see the landscape is full
of lakes, streams, rivers, waterfalls, bogs, forests and rugged rock
outcroppings. Expect to see lots of bears in all color phases, Canada Moose,
Woodland Caribou, Timber Wolves, River Otters, Beavers, Bald Eagles, ... But
best of all No people or civilization. With the two areas to offer hunts in what we do is
alternate each area so that you will not be hunting in an area that has just
been hunted. All access to bait sites is by 16 foot aluminum boats safely
commandeered by our guides. Tree stands range from bow to easy rifle distance.
This way you can enjoy watching the bears come and go while waiting for the one
you are looking for. Once your photo session is complete, and your bear is
safely stored in the deer freeze ... It's Fishing time! (pike, walleye and lake
trout) Yes we included some fantastic fishing with our fly-in bear
hunts.
True untouched, unspoiled Canadian Shield country. Strictly fly-in.
That in itself tells you no hunting pressure which = great success!!!!

We have dozens of trees stands
set up before your arrival and we can always make adjustments. Ground blinds are
also used. With the rolling terrain you can also spot and stalk. Birds can be
added to a deer hunt when in season. There is no non-resident rifle hunts
allowed in this region, thus making it a bow hunters paradise with extremely low
hunting pressure. Archery season starts in August and runs through November.

roosting sloughs, over two dozen muskrat potholes, beaver dams and riverfront
