Saskatchewan Whitetail Hunts
If you're looking for a memorable deer hunting experience, our Saskatchewan whitetail hunts are for you.
At Candle Lake Outfitters, our small, family-run operation welcomes new and experienced hunters seeking a friendly, knowledgeable guide for an unforgettable deer hunting trip to Saskatchewan's scenic boreal forest.
Experience Whitetail Deer Hunting in Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan is known for producing some of the biggest whitetail deer in North America.
Hunters choose Saskatchewan for the:
Big Bucks
Saskatchewan has turned out some world-record whitetail deer. With large antlers, mass, and healthy herds, you'll be hunting in prime whitetail country.
Whitetail Areas
Our hunting area includes boreal forest, river bottoms, and diverse terrain where deer thrive.
Sustainable Practices
We only use a limited number of tags each season to keep deer populations strong for future hunts.
Saskatchewan also has strict regulations for out-of-province hunters, so going with a licensed outfitter like us is your best bet.
Our Family-Run Approach
We aren't a big corporate chain. We're a small, family-run outfitter who loves sharing the hunting lifestyle with people who genuinely appreciate wildlife and spending time outdoors.
We've been guiding trophy bear and whitetail deer hunts in Saskatchewan for years, and along the way, we've discovered that our personal touch makes a real difference.

Our hunts are kept intentionally small so that we can focus on your experience, your questions, and your success.
Straightforward Style
We break down everything clearly, from judging trophy potential general hunting knowledge, we won't leave you guessing.
Local Know-How
We've hunted these woods for years, so we know where and when to set up for the best possible shot.
Lodge and Amenities
Airport Pickup
If you're flying in, we can pick you up at Saskatoon. If you stay in a nearby hotel first, no problem—we'll meet you there.
Laid-Back Lodging
Our lodge is cozy, giving you a good night's sleep after a full day in the stand.
Home-Style Meals
You'll get hearty breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. There's nothing like comfort food to keep your energy up.
Baiting and Cameras: We start baiting areas early and use trail cameras to watch deer patterns and predict where the big bucks are moving.
Ground Blinds and Ladder Stands: We set these up well before the season. By the time you arrive, everything's in place.
Daily Drop-Off and Pickup: We'll drive you to your stand before sunrise, then bring you back once the shooting light ends.
Hunting Setup and Techniques
Our bait stations all have cell service so you can easily stay in touch with your guide for updates or assistance.
