South West Saskatchewan is world renowned for the upland hunting and we are the only Outfitter in WMZ 8 , and also now in WMZ 9 – LIS Outfitting provides a fantastic experience in Saskatchewan upland hunting. We have approx. 2700 Sq miles of hunting area and with legendary numbers of Hungarian Partridge, and lots of sharptail grouse in prime habitat - the sand hills, coulees, rolling hills grass pasture, creek beds & crop fields are yours to experience the wonderful upland paradise.
Our hungarian partridge hunts over sporting dogs work the endless cover in this unique part of Saskatchewan, showcasing the beautiful landscape as a backdrop for world class upland hunting. The hunting area is so packed with awesome upland cover and abandoned farm yards that the same birds are seldom if ever hunted more than once. Our Labradors can also join the hunt for flushing hunts or we encourage you to bring your dogs along to handle the work.

A typical SW Saskatchewan Upland hunt begins mid to late morning for the waterfowl hunters after the morning hunt – earlier for the clients that did not take in the morning goose 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. Our shorthair pointer will hold a point – 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 – this is also one of the greatest areas in North America for huge prairie mulies, and everywhere in our area a buck lurks – in the same cover the upland birds do! Antelope herds are widespread with some real trophy bucks, moose are scattered throughout our hunting area and even small herds of prairie elk are encountered.
