As the only Outfitter in WMZ 8 in SW Saskatchewan, and in WMZs 9 and 10– LIS Outfitting can offer a great adventure in Saskatchewan waterfowl hunting. We live and work in our 4500 sq. miles of hunting area and with all kinds of ducks and geese, this unique area is all yours to enjoy field and water pass shooting with no competition. Classic Saskatchewan flocks of Specklebelly and Canada Geese come through our area starting in September eager to feed on the freshly harvested crop fields – and the white geese – Snows, Blues and Ross get in the mix during the Central Flyway waterfowl migration joining all the other waterfowl to create truly memorable hunting. The South Saskatchewan River to the North of Burstall is a major drainage system followed by migrating waterfowl as they wind their way south. All kinds of puddle ducks like Pintails, Widgeon, Gadwall, Teal and of course Mallards nest locally and create great field and water hunting all through the fall. Big “Northern“ Mallards migrate through our area once the weather turns cool up North and watching these big greenheads fly past easily in range is a thrill for any waterfowler . The wingshooting waterfowl morning is truly an unforgettable experience.
Diver ducks like Canvasbacks, Redheads and Bluebills are found on the bigger pieces of water and are bagged usually on a pass shoot setup for another way to enjoy Saskatchewan waterfowl hunting with LIS Outfitting.
Duck and Goose Hunting Saskatchewan - The morning hunt is a great option for the waterfowler. We strive and specialize in wing / pass shooting over water or land. No need to get up super early for a big setup - we arrive at our spot just before legal shooting time and remain dry and warm with a great variety of comfortable seating options.. This kind of Saskatchewan waterfowl hunting is very exciting and a challenge to the wingshooter. It is also great for dog work and clients that don't want to lie in a field getting cold waiting for the birds to hopefully cooperate. You will be fresh and ready for upland hunting after a few hours of fantastic waterfowl wingshooting. Saskatchewan has many great Outfitter options for full field decoy spread hunting - that is not LIS Outfitting's model.
Duck Hunting Saskatchewan – Ducks Unlimited reports “close to 70% of the continent’s waterfowl migrate through Saskatchewan” and the province is right in the middle of the famous Central Flyway therefore the duck hunting is truly world class. The sight of so many ducks working a feed field that the flock looks like a swarm and forms a vortex is a spectacle and is quite common in our hunting area. The ducks are targeted over water or dry field pass shooting. The ducks pass back and forth and are very easy to pick out the type of duck and drakes. Also, part of an exceptional hunt to watch our dogs do all the retrieves so we strongly encourage you to bring your dogs along for the trip! This is a very productive, casual, minimal setup wingshooting experience to start your hunting day, and to bag all different kinds of ducks including divers.
Sandhill Cranes Saskatchewan – The area that LIS Outfitting hunts in has seen an explosion in the amount of Sandhill Cranes in the last 15 years and the fall migration now has truly epic numbers. These large unique birds seem to migrate with the Specklebelly geese but can be hunted separately in the evening. They can be field or water hunted and are bagged by pass shooting, as they spend the first and last couple hours of the day pouring into the lakes and bigger sloughs that dot our area.
We have a variety of blinds and hunting chair options - some unique to LIS Outfitting.. We blend comfort with existing cover for our clients and dogs to be concealed and comfortable. We strive to make all of our hunters as comfortable as possible in all of our Saskatchewan waterfowl hunts.
Our Labradors take care of all the retrieves or feel free to bring your dogs along to handle the work. Our season runs from September 1st to December. Every year with the pinnacle of the Saskatchewan waterfowl hunting season being later September, the month of October and in the first couple weeks of November - freeze up dictating.
Required for Saskatchewan waterfowl hunting: Camo outer clothing, camo facemask or face paint (allows you to watch the birds as well for the complete experience). The mornings can be cool to cold as well as soon as the sun sets in the evening. Weather can change quickly so long johns / thermal wear and warm boots can keep you very comfortable in the field. In waterfowling, the worse the weather is the better the hunting is, so please make sure you bring waterproof hunting clothing, if you can. Also make sure you have camo gloves to keep your trigger finger warm and ready.
Ticks are a major factor and we suggest having your dog(s) on an active tick treatment program for your trip.
Steel shot is mandatory for all Saskatchewan waterfowl hunting. 12 and 20 gauge ammunition is available for purchase from LIS Outfitting. We stock the common brands in 3” #'s 4,3,2,1 & BB. Please discuss with us at time of booking to verify we will have your preferred ammunition available for your hunts.
