Thanks guys;

Skeeter, I have been hunting in Leader Sask. for the past three years, and have heard some generalized stories that bucks tend to be even larger up North. I have also heard people tell me that that is a misconception, and the reason less large bucks been recently been taken is due to the unusually warm weather (and hence lack of movement).

If me and my buddy do in fact plan to head North, which at the moment looks like a very good possibility, I would be looking toward anything north of North Battleford. I dont think battleford is in the forest fringe, but I want to stay in/near a town that is within an hour or so drive of decent hunting.

For the scouting - because of the drive and work schedules, I would guess that we are going to be limited to a day of scouting (in field). I know this is cutting it really short, but Ive got to work with what I have - in saying that, what Northerly communities would you personally point me towards to start lookin at in regard to accommodation and acquiring some air photos, land parcel maps, and topo maps?



Hope everyone is having luck so far this season!!!
