Had a hunt in Sask. on my bucket list. Was a dream since my youth. Booked with Cabelas as they are supposed to vet them. Was the biggest screwing of my life. We kill more birds in Pecan Island regularly. Outfitter was a money grubbing pos. NEVER use Cabelas. We booked a year in advance. Were supposed to be only group on those days. When we got there we found out that a group of 7 would be in camp also. They got best fields and full body flocked head decoys. We got left over fields and silouette decoys. They killed close to 350 birds, we got 62. Screw outfitters.

The thing about Sask is that it's basically open to the public. If you just go up there yourself you can stay in a motel and hunt anywhere -- as long as the land doesn't have Posted signs.

But, if you're an outfitter, it's totally different. Outfitters have to have written permission to hunt anyone's land.

So, out Sask outfitter picks us up at the motel and we drive 45 mins to a field. But we pass 10 fields and potholes full of thousands of ducks and geese. If we weren't with an outfitter, we could have hunted those places. But with an outfitter, we couldn't.

Sask is easier to do DIY than with an outfitter.

And don't even get me started with the "cleaning ducks and geese" scam. In summary: If you "give away" your ducks and geese, you have to pay for them to be cleaned to give them away. They don't tell you that on the front end. They just give you a bill at the end, for cleaning of birds you never see.

Total screw job.
