Mature Whitetails

Image
It's an early start to the season with several bucks already showing up on the camera's.  This being a great sign for the 2017 fall we have been looking forward to for the past 9 months.  Typically our mature bucks tend to show up more frequently towards the end of October going on through the season and into December so seeing mature bucks this early can't help but make us excited with the anticipation of our hunters harvesting some great whitetails this fall. If your looking for Saskatchewan whitetail hunt, give us a call and we'd be happy to accommodate you for what should be a great season ahead of us. 1-306-227-9637 www.bonequestoutfitters.com

Not Just Whitetails

Image
Fall is in the air and the forest has come alive.  Heards of elk have made themselves at home around some of the deer stands, well bears continue to be a problem.  Not a problem in the way of being aggressive towards the whitetails, but more so in the means of destroying blinds. The bears are extremely active right now appearing on nearly every deer bait, eating the grain well the whitetails don't appear to be bothered showing up sometimes just minutes after the bears have wondered off.   The whitetails are active as well.   More and more bucks are showing up daily.   This is a great sign for what should be ahead of us this fall when the big mature bucks start to expand their range coming into late October and into November when we'll do everything in our power to connect with some of these northern giants.     www.bonequestoutfitters.com

Saskatchewan 2017 Whitetail Forecast

Image
Saskatchewan has and will continue to produce monster whitetails year after year.  But there are some main factors that can control how many giants are roaming the forests and prairies of this vast province. How deer manage through the winter months is the biggest factor affecting their survival rate.  Following another relatively easy winter we should see a high rate of twins as well as a healthy population of bucks that survived their post rut winter months.  Now what is even more exciting is this will follow our 3rd easy winter in a row.  The population is in full recovery mode from the 2012/13 winter.  Numbers of deer have increased dramatically as well as numbers of mature bucks to go along with it.  Every year just keeps getting better and hopefully with another average- above average winter we will continue to grow and mature. If you have or have not hunted Saskatchewan whitetails before, it is a great time to consider doing so.  There are some great animals around now and w

Huge Colored Bear

Yesterday Marked the 3rd day of having bait in 6 of our sites.  It didn't take long, as the bears crushed the drums on 5 of the 6 sites.  This mega cinamin being one of them.   Thats great news as we have a different 12 sites to check in the next 2 days which are now 2 & 3 days into their bait rotation.  The bears are active and I'm sure we'll see some bears worthy of putting chills down our spines.  Stay Tuned To Find Out! www.BoneQuestOutfitters.com

Trapping A Way of Life

Image
  Running a trapline would be the farthest from the mind for most young lady's, but not Jackie.  A trapline which was handed down from her father and will now continue to be a big part of her life.  A gal who is not afraid to get her hands dirty in the skinning shed.  We want to salute Jackie Tourand for her hard work taking care of predators, and say we are very proud to have her on our guide staff at Bone Quest Outfitters.    www.BoneQuestOutfitters.com

Looking Forward to 2017

The Bear report from both the spring and fall hunts showed big bears on the prowl.  Color is not out of the normal here.  With just a few openings left for the spring of 2017 we'd love to accommodate you and your group A snow storm in early October destroyed many of our trails as tree's were flattened by the heavy snow.  Chainsaw gas was burned and trails were cleared in order to get back to the ridges that the big bucks cruise.   By the time November 1st had hit all the snow had melted creating a pile of standing water in the woods   Although this pickup belonging to an anonymous individual was found on one of our fall baiting runs in November.  It wasn't until the middle of December that we we're taking our pickups that far back into the swamps.  I don't think this gentleman did his scouting to well to say the least as he discovered how much standing water there was in the bush Heres a buck which we saw in 2015 as well as 2016.  We call him clubs.
