Saskatchewan has long been considered a top goose hunting destination. Considered one of the Prairie Provinces in Canada, it attracts hunters from around the world to try their luck at goose hunting inside it’s borders. The hunter however should do his research because there are some special tricks and tactics that are unique to Saskatchewan goose hunting. Because of the unique landscape a hunter should do his research before jumping into the field after some fowl.

One thing that is great about Saskatchewan goose hunting is the plethora of other bird species available to the hunter to hunt. While on a goose hunting trip, the hunter could also add some ducks, or sand hill cranes to the mix. Fortunately these seasons overlap, so while the hunter may visit for the goose, he could come home with any number of species to mount. It also makes for interesting day trips to target different fowl throughout the day. Hunters typically prefer to hunt geese in the morning, and then ducks, crane, or upland birds such as partridge or grouse in the afternoon.

It’s important to pay attention to Saskatchewan’s unique terrain. Because of many of the low lying, flat wheat, barley, and oat fields that dominate the landscape, choosing the right blind will be very important. The blind chosen should be very low profile, a lay-down style is best. Pits and pit blinds may also be used; a hunter should take a walk through the terrain and get an idea for the area he’ll be hunting.

Saskatchewan goose hunting will offer the hunter typically three varieties of geese; the Speckle Belly, Canada Goose, and Snow Goose. An advantage to the spring season is that the geese are about as far north as they’ll go; they’ve settled down, and even though they are being targeted, they are more apt to stay in the area.

There are a number of decoys and tactics that Saskatchewan goose hunters use to bring the flock in. Decoys are a natural choice, though later in the season the geese often become weary of them and won’t land. A large number of decoys however could off-set this anxiety as decoys are usually only used in small numbers. There are also decoys available with calls, and electronic wing movements. Another thing the goose hunter employs is the use of a windsock. These are used especially for Canada or snow geese and are painted; the natural movement attracts the geese. Another plus to the windsock is their ease of use and storability. Flags however are not commonly used as they bring attention to the blinds; with the flat landscape, blending into the surroundings is essential for a successful hunt.
