Went there a number of times back in the day. Hunted with Troy Foster at North Alberta Outfitters.
I went on 2x1 hunts. We would flip a coin and one would ride and look with the guide while the other would be let out in a likely area to still hunt. At lunch we'd swap. It's not like Saskatchewan-no sitting in a blind watching bait. You'll hunt aggressive. Loud rattling, covering a lot of territory. It's big country and the deer are often in scattered pockets.
The deer are massive, the country and people are awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed it. YMMV. Good luck

If you don't get anyone with specific experience here, I would reach out to the outfitter and ask about equipment.
They make base layers that can make your trip better if it's bitterly cold. I talked to some guys from S Dakota that have to work outside when it's minus 40 degrees. They have clothes that keep them warm that you just can't buy here in Georgia. But before I bought anything online, I'd find out what really works and what's just a marketing gimmick. Hunting is kinda like 1st Responder and Military life. When you first go in you buy a bunch of stuff that seems cool. Then the veterans look at what you have and start going "this is crap. This is junk. I can't believe you fell for this one. Keep this. Throw that away...etc" If you'll be hunting where you're moving a lot in rugged terrain you'll be glad you only have the necessities and as little weight as possible.

I have been to Sask before and did all day sits..Great experience and glad I went. For warmth, I highly recommend Ice breaker boot blankets or similar (the locals remove their boots to use with socks only and put hand warmers in the boot blanket) I also highly recommend the heater body suit. Have fun...

Raven wear . very expensive stuff. But you can't afford to go and be cold on all day sits.

I’ve been to sask myself and 100% agree with this. Boot blankets are a must, remove boots, add hand warmers for all day comfort. Wish I’d had a heater body suit. I was in a blind daylight till dark. Good luck.

If you are blind hunting, warm clothes. If still hunting good boots/socks, and layers of good clothing.

Can we all go with you? Definitely my dream hunt. I would love to get a 300 pound buck. Good luck

I’d be sure to ask the outfitter on what to expect. Definitely a trip of a lifetime and I’d want to be prep for anything…..
