Thanks Skeeter. Have you ever heard of Checkerboard Hill? its about 10 minutes West of leader, and there are always numerous impressive mulies along the breaks in that area, dont see many whitetails there though. What would you think about hunting the Sand hills themselves, or, as I said above the breaks right along the river?
When you say the truck-accessible areas would have been hit hard, I presume you mean most of the big bucks will have been taken from easy areas by then, because we still say an abundance of deer doing mostly drives/pushes.

PS. Where in Sask do you hunt whitetails, as I am considering heading north for next years whitetail hunt.

thanks again for the advice
