What To Expect


Our Saskatchewan upland-bird hunting takes place on both Crown and private land scattered throughout our seemingly endless allocated hunting area.  The habitat varies from rolling prairie, old farmsteads, sandy hills. slough bottoms, jack pine forest and meadows.

The hunting is generally easy walking but hunters still need to be in reasonable shape. Ask for more details, if you have concerns. If you prefer, bring your own hunting dogs to our dog-friendly lodge. We primarily target ruffed, spruce and sharp-tailed grouse. Saskatchewan’s liberal limits offer a potential to shoot more than 20 birds a day.
