Early in, here (sask) the fringe and forest areas where hit hard again. The deer are hurting in numbers big time to the north. SERM has reduced the bag limits as such for the first time in many years in these areas to try and compensate for the winter kill. Elsewhere the numbers appear good and the winter wasn't as severe, however I expectwith morepressureit too willresult in tougher conditions across saskatchewan when it comes to hunting deer. Still lots of deer around just not the hay days we have come to know during the past decade or so.
