Hey there,

Thanks

Pal and I just went thru this, I asked on here if anyone had experience with a Sask. Waterfowl Outfitter, and got a recommendation for Prairie Sky Outfitters, of Martinsville just north of Saskatoon. Both Brad 306-290-4333 and or Tyler 306-281-3760 have been great to deal with, but I do not have any experience with their field operations, guides etc. We booked a 4 day 7 hunt package, in what i think / hope should be prime time. We'll see, i'll report back after!!

Sorta flying blind, but we would be doing that with any Waterfowl outfitter we used. I looked at other Sask. and Ab. outfitters and got either indifferent responses, US $ pricing, or partial info etc. These two fellows had the info. I wanted and again were very good to deal with.

Thank you for the insight!

You are probably right.
I guess with no US hunters this year.
It should be a bit easier to find a hunt with a reasonable price.
Thanks

It depends what you consider affordable/reasonable. Most outfitted hunts are priced much higher than many people expect.

There’s 2 dozen waterfowl outfitters advertising on Facebook right now selling 3 day hunts for $1500 Canadian including lodging. Doesn’t get much cheaper then that !

I've just seen them pop up as 'advertising' and being shared on some groups. Seen a handful around $1500-1650 with lodging/meals/etc
