Hunting & Shooting · Saskatchewan
A Saskatchewan waterfowl outfitter running all-inclusive goose, duck and sandhill crane hunts, praised for thorough scouting, strong calling and small groups, with many hunters returning year after year.
Bay Prairie Outfitters runs guided waterfowl and crane hunts in Saskatchewan, and much of its clientele comes back every season, some travelling from the United States and even Scotland. Reviewers describe a well-organised operation with small groups and guides who are friendly, professional and good company.
The hunting is consistently rated highly. Hunters report daily limits on big Canada geese, mallards, pintails and sandhill cranes, thanks to good scouting and strong relationships with local farmers. Guides are praised for their calling, a retriever helps in the field, and birds are cleaned and packed to take home. Shotguns and ammunition are available, which helps non-resident hunters.
Lodging varies by year. Some groups stayed in comfortable chain-style hotels and ate at a local steakhouse, while a recent group had a private farmhouse. Either way, reviewers describe the meals as filling and the package as fairly priced and all-inclusive. Hunters are welcome to bring their own dogs.
The one negative review alleges improper dealings with landowners over hunting permission; it stands alone among many positive reviews. Seasons vary, with ducks hot some years and geese others, so talk to the outfitter about timing when booking.
