Both are awesome habitat for deer to thrive, though saskatchewan has more geographical deer area than alberta(ie: no mountains here), less population/land developmentsandless pressurewhich may all lead to larger deer herds. Whitetails and mule deer thrive in much of the province, though mule deer have really exploded in the recent decade. Wasn't to long ago when you where drawn for mule deer you were heading south to hunt, now you can literally head in all directions of my home (s'toon) and find them in good to great numbers.I think our whitetail population in the central to southern areas has stabilized as of late. The forest fringe/parkland and lower forest zones have been in a steady upward turn the past 5 or so years. Main reason good winters, more food andless hunting pressure.

Saskatchewan really is a meca for deer, almost all corners hold whitetails(the pre cambian sheild area of the far north is the only exception) and all produce trophy quality deer. As far as B&C deer Albertatends to put more high end deer in the book compared Sask. numbers entered. The sleeper is Manitoba they are climbing in terms of quality of deer being produced.
