Frequently Asked Questions
Smoky Burn Outfitting prides itself on having expert guides for hunting and fishing in the Great Saskatchewan, Canadian Outdoors! To help you get trophy wild game it’s best to come prepared. Here are some FAQ’s we get asked. If you have any other questions please contact us today or visit our resources section.
BEAR HUNTS: If you are hunting with a bow in bear season and do not have a rifle with you can wear camo and no colours need to be worn.
WHITETAIL DEER: If you are hunting whitetail with a bow in October, you can wear camo- no colours are needed. If you are hunting with a bow in November, when the rifle season is on, you must wear colours.
All that is needed for colours is a blaze orange vest – “NEW”. A orange hat or toque will also be required.
Yes, we have some heaters, if you want to ensure you have a heater it is best to bring your own. We do not supply propane.
In the past five years, the weather seems to have warmed up a lot. Temperatures in the morning can be below freezing. The appropriate clothing is your best option to keep you comfortable. In extreme weather we have heaters.
We have all kinds of stands. We use ladder stands, lock on, permanent tree stands, ground blinds, elevated blinds (8-10 feet up) and 1-man pop up tent blinds.
The rut in Saskatchewan can run any time in November. The pre-rut is usually in the second week in November with bucks chasing. Doe’s 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!
The most common calibre is a 300. 7mm is also common. The bucks in our area have tremendous body size, so you want some knock down power.
When you harvest your trophy, we cape the animal and freeze the hide and clean up the skull for transport back home with you.

Dan
Been hunting With Mike for quite a few years and have to say it’s the whitetail hunters dream. So much wilderness without a hunter. The deer are big and antlers have mass. You won’t find a better outfitter then Mike and his people. I know because I’m an outfitter. They make you feel like family.
