Scott Falcon takes a blonde boar. 2005 was the
third year in a row that we
have harvested a blonde
large enough to make the Pope & Young record book.
Scott’s hunt was videoed by Andy Milam.
  e are an outfitter with 432 sq. miles of pristine habitat to hunt. Our area borders the northern side of Prince Albert National Park, where no hunting is allowed. There are bucks and bruins dying of old age here. The Bear have been hunted very little. There is virtually no whitetail hunting pressure at all. Residents prefer to hunt in the farmland further south in the province where deer densities are much higher and the animals are more visible.

A look at an aerial photo of our area reveals that logging activity in the past ten years has created the perfect edge habitat that whitetail thrive in. This has also created enough forage for them to thrive and prosper. Strategically placed blinds watching feed stations could provide the opportunity to harvest the buck of a lifetime.

2001 Best Buck
There have been many color phase bears taken including three blonds, and a monster 8' black which weighed over 400# and scored over 20”. Some bear hunts will be run from well-stocked and comfortable outpost camps to take advantage of the tremendously large area we have. Fishing will be available on all bear hunts if season permits.

with a large white slash on it’s
chest. His hunt
was captured on video by fellow hunter Tim Bruner.
We have a comfortable secluded lodge where we will likely house all the whitetail hunters. We will take a maximum of 12 hunters per week with one guide per two hunters for whitetail, one guide per three hunters on bear hunts. We prefer that our hunter’s only take mature animals and leave the young to grow into future trophies. Some hunters may be taken to outpost camps due to the tremendous size of our area.

Not included:
*Transportation to and from camp is not included. Clients fly into Saskatoon normally the Saturday prior to their hunt and fly out the Monday after their hunt. A commuter flight is available to get clients to Prince Albert but must be scheduled properly with flights to Saskatoon as they only run twice a day. Hunters who want to be picked up by us must get to Prince Albert where we will be willing to pick them up. Prince Albert is approximately 1-½ hours from camp and Saskatoon is 3 hours. It is a beautiful, scenic drive, which will allow clients to unwind before and after the hunts and allow us the time to properly prepare for the upcoming hunts. We get discount on rentals in either P.A. or Saskatoon for our clients and will provide you with the appropriate information as well as the contacts for other hunters in your week so that you can share rental costs.

About the Outfitter:
Andy Milam was born and raised in Texas and harvested his first whitetail at age 15 with a recurve bow. That was over 28 years ago and since then he's taken 9 P&Y whitetail as well as P&Y Black Bear, Elk, and Antelope to his credit. He’s also taken turkey, mule deer, hogs and a large variety of other game. In 1995 on his first of many trips to Saskatchewan he vowed to leave Texas and live there one day. Now he has exclusive rights to the outfitting privileges on 432 square miles of wildlife paradise. Andy lives and breathes hunting and looks forward to sharing the adventure with a lucky few.
