Alberta or Saskatchewan Whitetail Hunt

Likely the case up by Dryden, but certainly not the case in Rainy River since you need a guide in that area compared to Dryden. That helps keeps hunters numbers lower
I have hunted there for about a dozen years, just wish I was closer to do a bit more work on my property
I just checked the websites of a few outfitters in the Rainy, all of the photos are either stock photos from the web or from pre-2010. I'm not saying you cant kill a nice buck there, but odds don't look good.
 
If the OP is still looking for a outfitter in Alberta, I can highly recommend Alberta Wilderness Guide Service. I booked my 4th hunt with them for 2025. I've hunted out of their west camp, near Edson. They have a very good population of deer with some great bucks. You'll be sitting in a Texas tripod or a blind looking at pipeline cuts . It's a great hunt with a solid opportunity at getting a shot at 150"+ buck and maybe a wolf.
 
I ended up booking through WTA at Dallas and will be hunting with Northway in Sakatchewan
 
I want an area where I can have good opportunity to get a respectable Buck, a guide I can trust that’ll have good concession with decent camp/lodge
Bashaw: That hunting Lodge is what we are ALL looking for and it’s called “Heaven” and you can only book it for the AfterLife
 
I don't really hunt Whitetail, but I fought fire in the Dore Lake/Smoothstone Lake area of Saskatchewan a couple years ago and saw some absolute hogs. There are a few outfitters in that region.

I Walleye fish up there regularly and an average one is ~7lbs. So that's a nice Apres-hunt bonus too.

I've got a spot at that lodge, "The Sakatchewan Lodge" I did not want to be in a pack rat infested no insulation cabin
 
I looked at there website, thanks for the suggestion

I hunted Black Bear years ago with Rob Nye way up north in Saskatchewan. One of his guides was a guy by the name of Wade Maynard. He ran a whitetail hunting lodge out of Carrot River by the name of Lost Creek Outfitters.
I don’t know if he is still doing it but you might check the web to see if he is still outfitting.

How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
