Thats a tall order to request right off. Your best bet is to just do your research and go out there knocking on doors.

ALthough it is a good idea, in the province of Sask. it is actually not REQUIRED to obtain permission to hunt land, unless it is posted.

I can save you a bit of time in saying that if you want like 170+ dont even waste your time in the south, immediatly hit the Northrn forest fringe zones. YOu dont require a hunter host in Sask, so that gives you a lot of freedom,

PM me and I can give you a bit of a lead, although I dont know a ton as the biggest whitey ive taken in sask is about 130 class.

That is the very reason why land is being posted at a very high rate. The guys who don't ask permission have abused the priveledge of hunting - ripping fields up, leaving gates open etc etc....

The rate land is being posted year to year is astounding.

Whitie tags are 140 Bucks......plus the 11 dollar Habitat whatever thingie.
Considering the Costs to get to Sask the Tag is most likely the cheapest part of the trip though ! :|
Good Luck.......some of those Pics from Sask sure show some Hawgs8)
Try asking here........

BCRAMS and Will both have very good point.

In all honesty, dont expect to go out thre and hammer a hog first year. Takes just as much time to find em as here. Really, considering costs and time spent, you could find a large whitetail here just as easily.

Furthermore, forest fringe is just as hard hunting as forested BC.

And yeah, although I said you dont need permission by law, I would recommend it.A lot of really good areas are posted as well.

Not tryin to change your mind, its a fun trip, and youll see lots of game. But remember, they dont get big by sittin in stubble fields. The big'uns hide well, and there are just as many big ones around here, just dont see em as often =D =D

I do plan on asking permission wherever i go, im just wondering where is a good spot to go which town and where

Greenbush lake (I think is what its called) is great. ITs forest fringe. Know a couple guys whove taken pigs outta there. THey got lucky and got em on their first year, but neither have matched them since.

maple creek and meadow lake are very productive as well

My relatives hunt around the Carrot River area. You may want to look into that area as well. I've seen some pictures and it looks like a great place to hunt.

The last time I checked the SK regs(online like ours), I found that the open season for non-residents was only 1 week in November. Add to that that there is still no Sunday hunting allowed and it tends to limit your options. I have hunted my uncle's property in the south and found it to be quite different and challenging. Good luck.

I have been over to Saskatchewan twice and will likely return next year. We were a group of 3 and none of us has harvested a monster over there yet, so it's no gimme. We saw some big guys, but just couldn't get shots. We ended up taking meat bucks near the end of the trip, which were still decent 4 and 5 points.

In all honesty finding huntable land is no issue. We were primarily hunting with local residents, however me and my dad did go out on our own a bit and decided to ask people for permission. One guy told us flat out "if a landowner doesn't have his land posted around here, he fully expects guys will be going in there and hunting, its just the way it is". Even our local "guides" had some good land that they didn't post. One of their hunts was actually ruined by someone they didn't know driving through their patch, but they just shrugged it off. Basically, they didn't care if people they didn't know hunted on their land, and they also took us onto property in which they didn't know the owners.

From my experience, as long as you are respectful, nobody is going to care if you are hunting non-posted land. It's always a good idea to stop in at any farmhouse you come across and let the people know you are in the area, and ask if they have any concerns. Also, you really have to go early and scout things out and map which fields are posted and which ones aren't.

I think alot of guys get into trouble because they see a monster out in the middle of a field while driving around, start to panic, don't see any signs close by and shoot. Only to find a "no trespassing" sign 100 yards further down. But by all means, if you come across a big buck on land that you know isn't posted, let him have it. I remember one of the local residents we were with blasted a nice one while we were driving around. I asked him who owned the land, since it was only 10 minutes from his house I figured he'd know, and he told me he had no clue, and that nobody would care.
