Big Game

Moose and black bear hunter enjoy excellent success throughout the northern forest area. Moose ] and Black bear provide challenging hunts. Bear are hunted in the spring and fall. Bears take several years to achieve big body size. But size isn't everything. Colour counts, and in Saskatchewan , coats can range from black to brown, cinnamon and even blonde. Most hunters prefer early spring hunts since the pelts are at their best. An added bonus is fishing for Walleye and big Northerns. An alternative is a mixed bag, bear/deer and bear/moose hunt in early fall. Non-resident moose permits are available across the north by allocation to outfitters.

Non-resident hunters must locate outfitters with permits. Non-residents of Canada are required to use the services of licenced guides or outfitters to hunt big game including Moose, deer and bear.
