Yorkton - SK

I went hunting just out of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and I was there for a week. I couldn't believe how many deer I have spotted, unfortunately I missed a chance at a great white tale deer, truly trophy size.(7 by 6)

But my hopes weren't up and I still harvested a nice 5 by 5. Truly a great experience!

Russel - MB

There are two river valleys nearby, the Assiniboia River and the Birdtail Creek.  Lots of good sized deer.  Seen a few trophy sized bucks around lately.

Winnipeg - MB

Just South of Winnipeg, in the many grain fields, the deer come to feed.  Look for them at dusk and dawn as they move between resting and feeding places.

Lumsden / Qu'Appelle Valley - SK

Description: The Qu'Appelle Valley is an excellent location for hunting.  It's easy to access with many roads running through it and to it.  Just west of Lumsden, about 10-12 kms is an area in the valley of open fields and just the right amount of brush.  Enough cover and protection to keep deer around, without too many trees to block your sight lines.  There's a creek that runs through the valley, so expect to find a variety of birds while you're there as well, like grouse, a few partridge, and some pheasant.  On a recent bird hunting expedition, I was walking along the north side of the creek and spotted a very nice white-tail buck.  Good tall and wide rack, a thick body, and staring stupid -like at me from the opposite bank, less than 100 yards away.  Maybe he'll be there when I return for deer season with my rifle.
