Wishing for More Hunters: The Best and Longest Season Ever

As we near the end of November, we can’t help but reflect on what has been an absolutely incredible hunting season. The weather, the birds, and the action have all aligned to make this year one for the books. The only thing missing? More hunters to share in the excitement. With plenty of ducks and geese still filling Saskatchewan’s skies, this season has felt like it could go on forever—and we wish it could!

Why November Has Been So Exceptional

November is often one of the best times to hunt in Saskatchewan. As the colder weather sets in, the migration reaches its peak, and the fields and wetlands come alive with waterfowl. This year, however, has been something truly special.

  • Perfect Weather: The combination of snow-covered fields and open water has created ideal conditions for ducks and geese. The cold temperatures have kept birds active and feeding heavily, making them more predictable and creating exceptional hunting opportunities.

  • Strong Bird Numbers: From massive flocks of Canada Geese to wave after wave of Mallards, the bird numbers this November have been extraordinary. Hunters have consistently enjoyed limits and thrilling action throughout the day.

  • Extended Opportunities: Thanks to a long season and consistent migrations, November has provided hunters with opportunities they rarely get to experience elsewhere. It’s been the kind of season that makes you wish it could last forever.

The Thrill of Late-Season Hunting

November hunting brings a unique set of challenges and rewards that many hunters overlook. By this point in the season, the birds are more experienced, and the cold weather demands a tougher, more resilient approach. But for those willing to brave the elements, the payoff is unmatched.

  • Wary Birds: Late-season ducks and geese are sharp and require expert setups and calling to finish. The challenge of decoying these birds only adds to the excitement.

  • Snow-Covered Landscapes: There’s something magical about hunting in a snow-covered field. The crisp air, the stunning backdrops, and the sight of birds locking into a decoy spread make for unforgettable memories.

  • Camaraderie: Late-season hunts often mean smaller, more dedicated groups of hunters. The bonds formed during these cold-weather adventures are some of the strongest in the sport.

Why We Wish More Hunters Could Join Us

With the season still delivering incredible opportunities, we can’t help but wish more hunters were here to experience it. November hunting often flies under the radar, but it’s one of the most rewarding times to be in the field.

  1. Unmatched Action: The consistency of bird movement this month has been incredible. Whether it’s ducks working over decoys or geese coming off the river to feed, the action has been nonstop.

  2. Abundant Opportunities: Saskatchewan offers some of the best waterfowl hunting in North America, and November is proof of that. The sheer volume of birds and the quality of the hunts are unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere.

  3. Memories Waiting to Be Made: Late-season hunts are about more than just the birds. They’re about the stories, the friendships, and the connection to the outdoors that come with every outing.

The Longest and Best Season Yet

This season has felt like it could go on forever, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The combination of perfect conditions and abundant birds has made it one of the most memorable in recent years. As we approach the final weeks, we can’t help but feel grateful for the incredible opportunities we’ve had—and hopeful that more hunters will join us next season to experience it for themselves.

Plan Ahead for Next Year
