He is a neat looking buck for sure…congrats!

Good looking buck. What is it with cameras and cold weather? Mine does it too.

Very cool looking buck

Nice buck. I’m just curious do you guys use an outfitter or DIY? I always thought you must have a guide to hunt in saskatchewan as a non resident.

Thanks

We have only hunted on reservations… and have had to use an outfitter. wish we could go on our own! there are some big ones up there, but with only 6 days to hunt your not allways going to shoot a booner. I am convinced there are 200″ deer in the area, but very hard to kill

According 2 the locals the hanson buck was shot very close to there if that says anything!

Congrats Brad – nice buck! Love the snow in the picture!

Great buck, I love how the tines almost come together

This reply is from a proud dad, Brad began deer hunting 4 years ago and was successful in bagging a beautiful MN 8 point. He caught the bug!
This was our 2nd trip to Saskatchewan with the first trip 2 years ago. The deer Brad took this year was a beautiful buck and experience was the best.
Brad shot his buck on the 5th day of the trip from a untested stand. The action began early with numerous deer spotted and traveling through the area, all lookers until about noon when a solid 140 8 point came in. As Brad was measuring up this buck it was nervously looking back into the timber and Brad decided to wait and see what was bothering this buck. The 140 suddenly bolted off with Brads soon to be trophy showing up, checking for hot does. Brad had seconds to judge the buck as it looked ready to give chase. Earlier in the week talk around the lodge was that if you needed to reach for the binoculars it wasnt a shooter. Brad reached for his rifle and made the 200 yd shot. The buck took off (up to this point every deer Brad has shot has dropped in its tracks). I was riding with the outfitter doing the mid day checks and we showed up 10 minutes after the shot. After getting the quick details (Brad was concerned the shot was a little low) we went to the spot. Brad and the outfitter went to where the deer was and I circled the bottom of the hill. There was fresh snow and about 35 yds from the spot I found the smallest drop of blood and then another. Another 50 yds was his dream buck. The smile was unforgettable and getting a huge hug from your 24 year old son is priceless.
The final point I’d like to make is none of this would be possible without Bob and Bobby Bergeson. Brads first buck came on property and the hospitallity of the Bergeson’s, both trips to Saskatchewan were arranged by Bob and Bobby as well as the pleasure of their company (Bob couldnt make the last trip). These two hunters and friends have given us the fever and passion. THANK YOU Bob and “Top Heavy”
