The following questions are designed
to answer some of the
most common concerns that first time hunters have.
HOW COLD IS
IT WHEN I WILL BE HUNTING?
In the past five years the weather seems to have warmed
up a lot. Temps in the morning can be below freezing.
The appropriate clothing and the stands that Dunham's
have will keep you comfortable. In extreme weather we
have heaters.
WHAT KIND OF
STANDS DO I USE?
We have all kinds of stands. We us ladder stands, lock
on, permanent tree stands, ground blinds, shooting shacks
and luxury Condo blinds as well as bail stands.
WHEN IS THE
RUT?
The rut in Saskatchewan can run any time in November.
The pre-rut is usually in the second week in November
with bucks chasing. Does usually are not receptive. Week
3 and 4 in November usually brings the peak rut activity.
In recent years the weather seems to affect the rut a
little more!
WHAT CALIBER
OF GUN SHOULD I USE?
The most common caliber is a 300. 7mm is also common.
The bucks in our area have tremendous body size, so you
want some knock down power.
WHAT HAPPENS
TO THE TROPHY THAT I HARVEST?
When you harvest your trophy of a life time you have two
options. First, we cape the animal and freeze the hide
and clean up the skull for transport back home with you.
Secondly, we cape the animal and ship it to a taxidermist
within our province.
DO YOU HAVE
RADIOS?
Yes, we have radios to communicate between guides and
hunters. This adds another safety and convenience factor.
HOW MANY HUNTERS
IN CAMP?
In camp we average 10-11 hunters per week. We run one
primitive weapon week in late October and then five consecutive
rifle weeks, ending on the first week of December.
WHAT IS THE
HUNTER PER GUIDE RATIO?
We run 2 hunters to 1 guide in our camp. You travel from
camp to a staging area and then use a four-wheeler to
reach the stand site.
WHAT ARE THE
NORMAL TIPS?
Tips are not expected but they are appreciated. Our cooks
and guides work very hard to make your hunt a trip of
a lifetime. Most clients us 5-10% of the total hunt cost
as a guide.
IS THERE ANYTHING
ELSE TO HARVEST WHILE I AM THERE?
Presently in Saskatchewan we have a 1 deer limit. When
you harvest your animal the hunt is over. There are combo
hunts available if you desire. When you call our toll
free number just ask what your options are.
