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 6 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 use 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.
