WHAT HUNTERS ARE SAYING ABOUT US
REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS
After many years of chasing my dream buck in the Saskatchewan bush, I still haven’t succeeded but I have finally found the right outfitter for me with Greg and his team at Chaparral.
The accommodations are clean and comfy with no shared sleeping quarters. Food is really good and plentiful with a family feel in the main lodge at dinner with the hunters and Greg’s team.
The hunt is first class with a separate area for hunting clothes and gear, reliable vehicles and a team that works hard to put you on a good deer. Lock on treestands are rock solid and make for an exciting all day hunt. Stand sites are well baited with trail cams to help locate the shooters.
If you need to fill a tag, you should probably hunt with someone else, if you want a great experience with an opportunity to take a trophy deer, then Chaparral Hunting Adventures is a good choice

It was my fathers, lifelong dream to hunt whitetails in Saskatchewan. After years of listening to him talk about it I decided to help him to fulfill his dream and began a search to find an outfitter.
I was directed to Greg and his team by a friend who knew Greg. Little did I know it would be an experience of a lifetime and go far beyond any expectation I or my father had.
From the moment we arrived in Saskatoon to the moment we boarded our plane to return home our experience at Chaparral Hunting Adventures was top-notch. It surpassed all of our expectations and we are excited to return for many years to come!

Every adventure begins with searching for that right place to go, to search out professional outfitters. Our choice was Chaparral hunting adventures. I wanted a fishing trip for BIG pike with my daughter. Speaking and booking with Greg is straight forward and easy as he answered every question I had promptly. He also emailed an itinerary that spelled out exactly what our trip would entail from start to finish.
Chaparrals passenger bus both picked us up and dropped us off at the airport in Saskatoon and we had a comfortable ride to and from the lodge. Our gear was moved to the guest house that is well finished and CLEAN with 8 bedrooms, 2 3pc bathrooms, kitchen and a very comfortable den with tv and wifi.
All meals of breakfast 7am, lunch 1pm and dinner 7pm were prepared and served by Bernice the fantastic camp chef in Greg and Shellys beautiful log home where all the days events are re-told. Trust me when I say you will leave laughing but you will not leave hungry.
Steve our fishing guide arrived each morning at breakfast fully stocked and prepared for the day. A plan was discussed and we headed out. Steve’s knowledge of the lake, fishing techniques and professionalism was outstanding. He matched our intensity and realistic expectations and we fished hard bringing many walleye and pike into the boat each day. Our trip was everything I had hoped it would be.
If you’re searching for that right place to go, I fully recommend Chaparral hunting adventures with Greg and Shelly.

Guides couldn't be more helpful or courteous and knowledgeable -the food was over the top from home soup to main course to incredible desert/accommodations were immaculate with your own room and comfortable sitting room for TV and new friendship's. Equipment was All new or same shape as new (atv, utv, snowmobile) the tree stands are all custom made and comfortable you could jump or hang from them and not budge and the outfitter makes this the best hunt you can book for your hunt whether it's bear or deer he gives you his absolute best effort on both. I know this because I did both hunts this year.
I wouldn't want the outfitter to know but I had a hard time bringing my gear outside to leave. It's too long in life to have to wait for such a great time and such a great outfitter.

One of my biggest dreams in my life was to travel to Canada to hunt one of their "big black bears". This spring (2023) I had that opportunity to do just that with Greg Lavoie of Chaparral Hunting Adventures. My dream was like everyone's "to take a trophy animal" and not to just shoot a Black Bear just to say that I shot one!
After talking to Greg on the phone he answered every question and concern that I had. Greg is a very easy person to talk to, and I made the decision to go to Saskatchewan and hunt black bears with Chaparral Hunting Adventures. The Lodging was one of the bright spots of the trip. The lodge had a room for each individual hunter. (nice to have your own room) The faculty has everything you could ask for (bathrooms, kitchen, large gathering room, TV, and WIFI. There was no need for a kitchen, we had 3 main hot meals cooked to perfection every day . Bernice's cooking is a real treat, each was awesome. The Chaparral crew will put every effort to help you get a hunting experience of life time.
If you are looking to go Black Bear hunting check out Greg Lavoie and crew with Chaparral Hunting Adventures out. I know you won't be disappointed.

Chaparral Hunting Adventures completely blew my expectations for this trip out of the water. The lodge itself was a home away from home, very clean and cozy. The accommodations were amazing and the food Bernice prepared (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was outstanding! Steve our fishing guide made sure I felt comfortable and confident each and every time we went out on the water. Whether the fish on the end of your line was big or small, he was by your side in a flash ready to help (and crack some jokes)!
As a young woman, I highly recommend this outfitter. The memories I’ve gained from this trip will never be forgotten. Truly one of the best experiences of my life thus far. Thank you Greg and Shelly for your hospitality and all the laughs around the dinner table!

We had a great time. Lots of large bears coming in and lots of great fishing. Me and my buddy both shot bears on the second night. The guides were great, prepped our bears and sent them to the taxidermist. Food was great and the lodge was very modern and comfortable. The entire was awesome.
Steve Derbyshire
I have been hunting and fishing in Saskatchewan for 23 years and Greg and his team at Chaparral Hunting Adventures get an A+ in my book! Hunting area is prime for big bucks and you throw in the accommodations it’s top notch! Lodging is all a person could ask for with home cooking that will hit the spot!
Camp was just the right size to make new friends and share the passion of chasing big whitetails!
I really enjoyed my trip and I’ll be back! Thanks again for the great memories.

The guides and Greg met us in Saskatoon, picked up our gear and an easy 2 hours north we were at their facility/compound. Accommodations were clean and spacious with individual rooms and a spacious living room to relax and watch the latest hockey games. Chaparral’s dining area is their main Cabin across from the sleeping quarters. The food and organization were wonderful with fresh cooked breads and cookies/desserts at every meal.
Lunch is supplied with sandwiches, cookies and coffee or soup, so you will stay warm out in the field. Greg’s camps are organized and he will know the areas of mature deer or old bears to hunt. He has cameras on all of his stands. Plan to see a lot of game including moose.
You’ll never know what will be coming into the baited areas. The guides and families of Chaparral hunting adventures are all about accommodating you on a successful hunt..
If you’re looking for a great experience hunting these guys have a First class organization, the best experience in the Saskatchewan woods.

This experience has been nothing less than exceptional. The fishing was amazing and the equipment was all in exceptional condition. I highly recommend this location for any outdoor experience your looking for!
Justin Bridger
Greg and the Crew have a first class operation at Chaparral. Everything was awesome including the accommodations, meals, stands and game. I saw countless deer everyday including multiple bucks. Even though I ate a tag sandwich at the end it was fair chase hunting at its best!! I chose to pass several bucks that will definitely be shooters next year and hopefully will be there when I return.
Bryan
Thank you very much for the enjoyable week. You run a truly good business and the work you put into making sure everyone has a good time and good hunting opportunities is very apparent. Getting 4 out of 5 bears with a very good opportunity for the 5th bear is amazing. The fact 3 out of the 4 bears were color phase is some pretty darn good icing on the cake. Add in a personal best walleye and all the good food we ate and I'm not sure what else I could ask for. You're the only outfitter I've hunted with twice (We had a great time last year well!) and there's a good chance I'll be back again some day.
