A typical SW Saskatchewan Upland hunt begins - mid to late morning for the am waterfowl hunters – earlier for the clients that did not take in the morning waterfowl hunting. Hungarian Partridge are the target bird to start and the numbers are unforgetable – a daily limit of 8 birds reflects that with a variety of habitat – you can walk as much or as little as you would like. We go at your pace. Your dogs will work the birds– or our Labradors work the cover close for an exciting flushing dog upland hunting experience. Huns are a fabulous eating bird for a nice dinner reflecting back on your SW Saskatchewan upland hunt., and are small and compact making for a very good transport home.
The sharptail grouse is the other upland bird in our area offering great hunting as well in traditional desert like grasslands with all sorts of classic sharptail habitat – they also are found on the border of these areas and the crop fields that surround them – this is our favorite place to hunt them – the grasslands have cactus in areas that require dogs to have boots on for protection – however the crop fields are clear and is a fine place to pursue sharptails . Sharpies can appear throughout the partridge upland hunting as well.
Along the way on your SW Saskatchewan upland hunt you could see the big mature whitetail bucks that Saskatchewan is famous for. Antelope herds are widespread and moose are scattered throughout our hunting area and even small herds of prairie elk are encountered. Tell me anytime to stop and take pictures please!
