Voici un texte qui explique bien la situation de la Saskatchewan face a l'accessibilité des résidents canadiens:

Canadian residents are attracted to Saskatchewan because of its reputation for trophy deer, relatively good access to land for hunting and the fact that they are not required to us the services of an outfitter in order to hunt deer.

Canadian residents do not distribute themselves and as a result some Wildlife Management Zones (WMZs) receive a disproportionate amount of hunting pressure. In the past this has led to requests for season closures by landowners and resident hunters especially after deer populations have been reduced by harsh winter weather. Therefore after severe winters in 1984-85, 1995-96, 1996-97, and 2000-01 the white-tailed deer season in portions of southeastern Saskatchewan has been closed to Canadian resident hunters. As a result some WMZs in the SE corner of Saskatchewan have only been open to Canadian residents for 6 years out of the last 24.

Although there are pockets where deer populations have increased, in general deer populations are still lower than the high populations which were present in the mid-1990s. Although deer populations are high in some areas we do not have too many mature bucks.

Non-residents and Canadian residents are primarily buck hunters which puts additional pressure on mature bucks and does not address landowner's concerns regarding high numbers of does and fawns. High winter conditions in parts of Forest WMZs has led to significant reductions in deer populations resulting in Canadian resident hunters shifting into Fringe and Parkland WMZs in 2008. We are concerned there may be a backlash from resident hunters and land owners if a large number of Canadian residents target those zones.

One reason for concern is that the number of Canadian resident hunting in Saskatchewan has nearly doubled since 1997 in spite of closures in Southeastern Saskatchewan and shortening the season in Southern Saskatchewan to 1 week in 2000. As you have pointed out, you hunted here last fall and this year you will be returning with two additional friends.

A second reason is that deer populations have declined significantly in northeast Forest WMZs which were becoming more popular for Canadians. For these reasons and chronic concerns about numbers of Canadian residents in some western and northwestern WMZs Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment has been requested by resident hunters and outfitters to limit numbers of Canadian resident that can hunt in each WMZ. At the present time there is no limit to the number of Canadian residents which can purchase a license and only a few zones in southeastern Saskatchewan where they cannot hunt.

Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment is considering a proposal that in 2010 the number of Canadian resident white-tailed deer hunters will be limited by a draw or internet licence sales which will restrict the number of licences available in each WMZ.

If changes are made for 2010 they will be advertised on the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment website at www.environment.gov.sk.ca or in the 2009 Hunting Guide.

We have just recently reviewed and revised season hunting dates for all species and will not be extending the length of the season.

et cette hiver d un super buck du québec.

Sérieux Charlos?

Bien content pour toi, tu y feras bonne figure.

tres sérieu .je serai le troisieme québecois a y écrire une histoire du québec.j y ai déja passer 2 fois par al passer dans le big buck mag mais seulement avec des bois trouver.
