how is the hunt going fore those that are?
-
maybe try a hunting forum....all i know is there's lots of blasting going on in the distances as i'm ice fishing. good thing i'm in a valley. lol
-
Lots of small bucks, does and little ones. Big bucks will be in rut soon and running stupid, so will ice fishing start soon. So when your off to check out your lake throw your rifle in as the biggest buck you ever saw will be standing there looking at you.

I suggest everyone get out and hunt while you can this year.If the trespass laws are in force next year hunting as we know it will be done.Was fortunate enough to have a mule tag this year so good time to test the upcoming law out I got permission for a good spot shot the deer it ran about 50 yards onto the next quarter,looked up name on rm map and never heard of the guy.I retrieved the animal but next year that will be illegal
-
That's the way it is in Montana. Animal dies on private ground, you can't retrieve it without permission. My thoughts are if you ask permission and they deny you the right to retrieve a legally harvested animal that was shot on public land, they should be cited for wasting a game animal.

very interesting
I always get perm where I hunt Id rather be alone there rather then have someone else mess up my hunt or me mess them up. It does get crazy in gun season here.
-
Canada does rifle season open later this year
-
depends where you are.
Its open as of nov 1 N of the N sk river Opens nov 20 s of the river
Archery has been open since sept 1 here- lots of cams and food out- just no shooter. yet.....

Same in Idaho. The situation described arises much less often than you might think, esp. in rifle/any weapon seasons. Maybe larger tracts of land?

Its pretty simple. Hunt on crown land if you choose not to attempt to get permission on private land. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of huntable crown land in SK.
If you don’t like that option then attempt to get permission on private land. If that doesn’t work out and you don’t want to hunt on crown land then buy your own land like so many of us have. If that’s not an option for you and you refuse to hunt on crown land then your not allowing yourself to hunt, that’s nobodyelse’s fault but your own.
Citing land owners for wasting game if they won’t allow a hunter to retrieve it is absolutely rediculous. As a current landowner myself I’ve been asked well over a dozen times for permission to retrieve “wounded” and “dead” animals. I’ve granted persmission to every single hunter on these occasions only on one condition. That I accompany them and go see the evidence or dead animal on my land for myself, along with the hunter.
Guess what...not one single time out of all those incidents could the hunter show me where the animal was wounded off my land and not once did I see a dead animal that had run onto my land after being shot on other land.
Every single time I went out with the hunter, they had either wounded or killed the animal on my posted land and tried to say it was shot off my land and ran onto my land. If it was legal to retrieve dead game on private land without permission then every hunter out there would be playing that game. End of story.
If you disagree then become a landowner yourself and spend a couple weeks in Nov on your land and you’ll soon find out what I’m talking about.
Either hunt on crown land, get permission on private land or become a landowner yourself. Pretty simple.
The only guys that will be upset about this are the ones not doing things the legal way and the right way.....

I caught a Jackalope on my tipup today! Barely got the horns through the hole!

Well said. its those guys that haven't shown respect for the land owners in the past and assumed that they can go wherever they want, when they want that have essentially made hunting for the rest of us a lot more restricted. I am not a land owner but i have many friends who are. We make it a habit before every season to call landowners to re affirm we have permission to access and hunt their property, and each landowner is grateful that we do. Many have even offered up equipment for retrieval and skinning if we should require it. As hunters and anglers we are supposed to be proponents of wildlife management and respect for the land and its owners. Sadly there are those out there that just don't get that.

No one said anything about just hauling ass into someone else's land without getting permission first. Funny you guy are cool with wasting game...

got it, youre speaking for everyone
Just because he hasnt seen it happen, it never happens.

Zforste1 your bang on, if people are respectful and friendly then you won’t have any issues with landowners. The sense of entitlement and total lack of respect is what’s gotten us to where we are now.
If people would have been respectful all along then we wouldn’t be looking at making it mandatory to get permission on any private land before going onto it.
If you are a respectful and honest hunter then it’s a good thing for you. You won’t have to worry about any slob hunters interrupting your hunt on the private land which you have permission on. If someone does enter onto the land they will be charged. End of story.
Missoulafish being from Montana you can’t hunt big game on private land up here anyways, only the forestry which is crown land which makes your input completely irrelevant on this topic.
If you come up here to hunt birds then just get permission on the private land you want to hunt on and you’ll have absolutely nothing to worry about. It’s as easy as that.
No one wants to read a bickering match on here, especially from someone who doesn’t even live here.
Now back the hunting topic
-
Exactly, respectful and helpful and kind to the landowners opens lots of doors, no one said it doesn't.
Where I live doesnt matter.
We've had just as much ground as anyone locked up do to inconsiderate hunters and fisherman. It sucks but im 100% for it if people cant figure out how to take care of their privileges.
That being said, why should a landowner not be cited for wasting game if they dont let someone drag a lawfully harvested animal off their land, if it ran their from public land where it was shot?
-
well put I agree terrible management by our gvt not only on this but so many topics across the board
-
Anyways, moving on....Let’s get back to the topic here.
Peoples hunts, not opinions.
Thanks
-
Baits and cams slow bucks out and moving locking does down post rut will be good.
Any action fb?
-
Haven’t seen much movement yet at all but haven’t really been paying attention either. I won’t get out hunting this year so I’ll have to live vicariously through my buddies and you guys...haha.
Good luck to you guys that get out!

Then you have landowners who don't know the difference between a yard and a field 3 miles from their house/buildings. They say how would you like us to come into the city and drive in your yard. Hey....read the hunting guide before you make stupid comments. Hunters do not hunt within 500 meters of yards/buildings.....so we aren't driving in your yards. You are welcome to come to the city and drive were ever you want....but stay 500 meters from home owners yards. If you are any good at math, you will find that you couldn't drive on any street in any town/city. You would have to stay 500 meters on the outskirts of town/city. That is why we respect landowners that post their land.
And have you ever tried to get permission from a landowner that is wintering in Florida/Arizona. It's you landowners that made the saying "Snowbirds" famous. And it's funny how the Americans b***h about these landowners (oh, I mean snowbirds).
And I am not sure the landowners that posted on here know the facts on how this proposed law is being pushed through. Just over 1600 people were surveyed. I am sure every landowner received a survey in the mail from the gov't. I don't know of one hunter that received the survey so they could respond. So basically 1600 landowners voted 65% in favour. The other 35% of the landowners don't want this law.
I have some laws that I would like past, and I know I can get 65% out of 1600 people to vote in favour. Especially if I hand pick the 1600 people that I mail the survey to. HUNTERS/SNOWMOBILERS/SASKATOON (BERRY), PICKERS/BIRD WATCHERS/ETC, NEVER GOT A SAY. And I thought Russia was a communist country.
I think even a level headed landowner would laugh that 65% of the 1600 people surveyed could get a law past. That's 1040 people out of our
population of 1 million. Something very very very wrong.
It was an online survey. I am not a land owner and I filled the survey out.

I got two White-Tail tags and two Antlerless Mule Deer tags to fill. I’ll be happy with one but hoping for a White-Tail buck. I got my muzzleloader cleaned and ready to go! :)
Ice fishing related I fired up both my ice augers the other day! :)
-
Today on my way home from Saskatoon, a young buck was scent trailing across an open field. He paid no attention to my truck as I slowed to watch him come towards me. I also had a close encounter last Thursday night on the highway near Elfros with a buck and doe that looked like they had love on their minds. We'll see if any distracted bucks wander into the cross hairs tomorrow.
-
I just hunt deep into state lands where there is no chance for it to run onto private lands.
-
I filled my whitetail tag on Thursday with a small 3x2 buck, ending a 5 year drought. Got him with 15 minutes of legal light left on a quarter section of conservation land in central Alberta. Finally gonna have some jerky for ice fishing!!
-
I ran through 5 cam checks yesterday Some decent bucks on cam a few settling back in after their rut, and a few with their heads down passing through
Will be sitting soon.....

Had my EDO on Tuesday. Started off in the Valley, criss crossed my way over to Earl Grey, Cupar, The Fort and South to Francis. Saw a nice Buck with his Does West of Craven on top but was still in the Regina WMZ. Was going to take my shot gun but didn't. I stopped, they watched me and then went back to grazing. I put on a total of 250 miles and other than the early morning Buck, didn't see another. Going to try the Avonlea Hills on Sat and going to try to find that buck again on Sunday with my Shot Gun. If not, I will be satisfied with the nice Mule I got at Mossbank. Other than that, if anyone has seen a few, I wouldn't mind a hint in which zone. Mulie Mennonite smoked sausage for me this winter. Man, I eat that at least twice if not three times a week. Doesn't last long at my place.

Be sure to remember to bring the heads in to get tested for CWD! It's getting bad.

It's rampant in zone 13. Getting worse across the province. Been on the news lately that sask enviroment is asking all hunters to submit heads to track it.

the poachers and nite hunters in the Danbury, sk. area this and last year are busy as ever. i see it and i hear it and i phone it in. NOTHING ever happens. One nite this year i insisted to the lady on the other end to get the C.O.s to call me back, nothing. Try explaining to some bubble gum chewing lady doing her nails on the other end where the Stenen/Endeavour grid rds meet. Sorry about the bubble gum comment but thats the impression i got talking to her.

I heard that if you call the tips line they have to investigate it.
