I do not know any jurisdiction that does not have some protections in place for resident hunters and some restrictions on non-resident Canadians. The Provinces are not all the same but they all discriminate in some way, and so they should.
Saskatchewan just recently changed to protecting resident opportunity, coincident with a big decline in available game animals due to severe winter kills a few years ago.
Our representative on the Wildlife Advisory Committee briefs the Saskatchewan Black Powder Assn. on the process and the discussions behind the scenes.
No system is perfect, but I am confident that Saskatchewan is trying hard to be well managed.
I guess, if you don't like the non-resident rules, you could move here, pay taxes here, take part in political process here, and generally be a Saskatchewan guy or gal.
