Saskatchewan Mega Bone

November is here and although this pic somehow slipped through the cracks on October 31.  When reviewing and drooling over photo's before bed last night I noticed that this in fact was not the buck I thought he was.  Truth is when going through upwards of 18,000 pictures from a day of baiting I somehow assumed this buck was a 5x5 that has been taking his share of camera time on the same bait.  Both bucks have the identical crooked brow tine but this beast of a Saskatchewan whitetail has an extra tine on each side.   This rare 6x6 will hopefully end up making a mistake that will cost him, but it is fair chase hunting and you never know what will happen.  So far nocturnal but with the rut just around the bend patterns can change with the blink of an eye.  bonequestoutfitters.com

Top 3 Giant Saskatchewan Whitetails Ever Harvested

Image
Saskatchewan has always been on the map when it comes to some of the largest whitetails ever harvested world wide.  The popularity of hunting this ungulate is largely driven because whitetails are the widest spread species of the deer family, living throughout much of Canada, United States, Mexico, Central America, South America and even being introduced into some European country's as well.   The buck featured at the top of the page is the Elburn Kohler Buck.  Harvested in 1957 and registered in the town of White Fox Saskatchewan.  This beast of a whitetail holds the number one spot for non velvet non typical whitetails ever harvested in the province measuring out at a whopping 257 3/8".

Circle Hooks For Giant Northern Pike

Image
Like most people I was once a quick strike user.  In the past three ice fishing seasons I have not tied on a single treble hook.  Not because they don't work but rather because the circle hook single handedly saves fish, and hook up rates when used properly are equal or even slightly higher. The key is bait/ hook size.  Since there is just a single hook in the middle of the bait, you need a bait rigid enough to sit horizontal.   Smelts, ciscoes, herrings and even some alwives are perfect for this technique.  The baits we run are anywhere from 5-10" in length.  Small baits when targeting giant pike but like any fish big pike are opportunistic and will eat these bite sized meals.  Hook size can be experimented with but what we have found is 5/0 owner hooks perform exceptionally well. Pictured above is another 30lbs pike with a 5/0 circle hook in the corner of the mouth.  We have found that roughly 8 out of every 10 pike caught on a circle hoo...
