Fines for Illegal Deer Hunting in Saskatchewan

Date: 2017-08-16

There seems to be an increase in the number of hunting fines and convictions being handed out in Saskatchewan in recent years. The officers from Saskatchewan Environment in the past had a reputation for giving warnings but recently the warnings are turning into fines and hunters being banned from hunting in Saskatchewan. In an incident from last fall, a man from Wisconsin was caught hunting deer without a license and was banned from hunting in Saskatchewan for a year. but just two weeks later he was found hunting with another outfitter in Saskatchewan and was subsequently fined $4200 and banned for two years.

The 4 illegal outfitters were fined a combined $71,000. It is illegal to hunt mule deer in Saskatchewan unless you are a Saskatchewan resident.
