Roland and Dave holding their awards given out for their Whitetails they harvested last season. Good job guys!!

 

December 03/2014

Well another Saskatchewan Whitetail season has come to an end and it was the best ever!!! We harvested some Huge Mature Bucks and by the looks of what we saw this year for Future Prospects we are going to have an even better season next year!!
Many thanks to all of our guests who sat on stand and carefully and patiently passed up bucks until the right Big Boy stepped out.
This is a HUGE help to our future herds!! 
Looking forward to hunting with you all again next season!!

I have to say, there is no way we could have had the success we had this year without two key people on our team. Sandy Irwin, is one of these two. She sets up our stands, starts our feed very early in the season, and she continues to bait them on a regular basis until opening day. She manages our trail cams on each stand until the opener, and then once we start our season, she switches hats and takes care of everything needed in the lodge from Breakfast to Dinners!! All of you that have been to deer camp know Sandy and are aware of her tremendous personality that is so welcome around camp!!
Ryan "Hawkeye Hartling" my right hand man in every camp and every species we hunt. I can never say enough about the hard work and hunting ethic that this guys gives!!! I can not thank you two enough for the hugely successful season we just finished!

Back to Vancouver Island where I will have a bit of time to tackle the mountain of paperwork on my desk, just in time to start looking for some cougar tracks!!

Jody's Bruiser Droptine Buck!!! What a hog!!!

 

November 30/2014

Mitch braved the sub zero temperatures sitting in an archery stand to harvest this giant buck with his bow. A truly dedicated archery hunter, the thought of switching into a nice roomy heated stand with a comfortable chair never crossed his mind!!

After passing up numerous bucks, Davey made the right decision on this heavy massive beamed old buck!!!

November 10/2014

Shared by Sean Lingl:  We had the pleasure of having Bill and son Justin come up and spend some good times with us again. Justin had never had the opportunity to hunt our Coastal Blacktail and had actually never seen one. Pete "Mr. Blacktail" got right on this and helped Justin find this beauty heavy 5x2. Any of you that have hunted the Coastal Blacktail will know that these little critters are one of the toughest deer to hunt, especially in the Coastal Rain Forest. Great Job Justin and Pete!! Was great to have the "Grooketts" back with us again. I don't think I have laughed that hard since last time you were here. We look very forward to your next visit!

Shared by UNCAGED with Matt Hughes: Had a great hunt with Sean Lingl's Canadian Guide Outfitters up here in Saskatchewan, Canada! My Browning X-Bolt in a 300 win mag with Hornady Superformance ammo and a GMX bullet worked great on this big northern whitetail. You got to put in your time hunting these big northern deer. These are long hunts. You sit all day. If you got the patience, it will pay off!

 

November 01/2014

With one big heavy old buck already on the ground by archery hunter Brett, I am heading to Saskatoon to meet up with good friend and UFC champion Matt Hughes and head back north to spend a week hunting giant whitetails.

With another Island Black Bear Spring season come and gone, I am already missing it. 
We had another amazing season and I can not thank my team enough for the huge efforts they always put in. I am truly blessed with our group and could not have the amazing seasons we do without them.

A HUGE thanks to all of our guests and friends that spent some time with us this Spring. Some new guests, many return guests and lots already booked for next Spring.

Really pumped about this Fall. Many hours of scouting still to get done before then, trail cams to set up, and a few flights and boat trips to check on some new territory we have never been in to.

I will do my best to keep you updated!

We have had another amazing Spring season for Vancouver Island Black Bear!! With only one week left in our season I better start filling you in on some exciting stories from over the past 2 months.

Patty from Houston Texas traveled here with her husband Des and helping hand Rose . Patti was the hunter. She is confined to a wheelchair with one side paralyzed. That does not stop Patti from doing anything she wishes to do. Patti has hunted all over the world and her dream was to harvest a Big Island Black Bear!! And that she did!! She worked very hard for this X Large boar and deserves every inch of it!! Pictured is the whole team that helped make this happen. Congrats Patti!!!!
