WHAT TO BRING ON A SASKATCHEWAN BEAR HUNT
PREPARING YOUR GEAR
Our bear hunting gear recommendations are so that you can comply with hunting regulations as well as be as comfortable as possible for some long sessions in the tree stand. Staying comfortable, and bug free, is a primary concern but also once the moment of truth comes, you need to certain you have the right weapon, the right ammunition, and the confidence in your gear to make the shot.
Remember, “Good things come to those who wait”. Through the use of our trail cameras, you should have good idea of the potential bear in the area of your tree stand.
Weather in Northern Saskatchewan in October and November can change drastically and quickly so please be prepared with clothing that you can add and subtract layers. Temperatures may range from 30F to -20F.
