There is often confusion between the hunting seasons and regulations between Saskatchewan's two species of deer. There are important differences including who is eligible to hunt each species. As a quick summary, only a Saskatchewan resident may purchase a Mule Deer license and they must put in for the annual draw. For Whitetail Deer, all Canadian residents as well as non-Canadians are eligible to hunt. Non-Canadians must use the services of a licensed hunting guide. For a more detailed explanation, see prairieoutdoors.com/hunting/saskatchewan-whitetail-and-mule-deer-seasons/.

The territories of Saskatchewan's Whitetail Deer and Mule Deer overlap. The regulations and licenses of the two species are distinctly different. For help in telling them apart, see Know Your Species.

It has been a topic for a few years, and some day maybe it will be true to say Saskatchewan Land Permission Laws are Changing. The Government of Saskatchewan held a series of forums to discuss the pros and cons of requiring anyone wanting to hunt on private land to get the permission of the landowner. This is the future direction of requiring permission to hunt, but this is not yet in effect. The The Trespass to Property Act is still pending being enacted. Along with making the announcement that some day in the future, hunters, bird watchers, nature photographers, snowmobile riders, hikers, and anyone else wanting to enter private land for recreational purposes will need permission, the Provincial Government also dangled out an RFP with a grant for the development of a mobile app intended to help the recreational land user get permission from land owners. The grant was awarded, a prototype app has been developed, and a pilot project in one Rural Municipality is underway. Results regarding the success of the app are not yet available, the trial is expected to conclude by the end of 2020. So, for now, private citizens still have the legal right to hunt on private land, but in the interest of being a responsible, safe, and ethical hunter, we would strongly encourage all outdoor enthusiasts to ask for permission. Land owners do have the right to restrict access to their property, by posting no trespassing signs, or asking you to leave if they do not wish you to be on their land. The easiest way is to simply have the courtesy to ask permission.
