Ryan is passionate about what he does, organized beyond belief and involved in every aspect of the hunt. Whether he is sitting next to you in the blind working his calls, spotting for tomorrow’s shoot or setting up the mornings decoys, you can have 100% confidence in knowing this pro staffer for Dakota Decoys, Foiles Migrators and Heavy Hauler Outdoor Gear, will provide you with a Waterfowl hunt second to none.
Saskatchewan Waterfowl Hunting
Our waterfowl hunting operation is located in central Saskatchewan amongst the endless harvested agricultural fields of Pea's, Wheat and Barley. The countless bodies of water in this region provide the final ingredient necessary for staging unbelievable numbers of migrating waterfowl. With Saskatchewan's liberal bag limits and early fall seasons, our hunters enjoy and take advantage of, getting "first crack" at the northern migrating flocks. To ensure our clients success we use only top quality equipment. From the dry, warm and comfortable lay out blinds to our seemingly endless supply of modern decoys we pay attention to the smallest of details, the most important of which is scouting. There is no substitute for doing one's home work and locating the best shoot around, and when you do..........your shoulder let's you know ! Also, there is now Sunday hunting in Saskatchewan for the first time.
Typical Day
Rise and shine "early" for a light breakfast, then head out to our well scouted field to set out the blinds and decoys. Next, we enjoy the morning Saskatchewan goose hunting until our barrels have had enough "heat", take the necessary field photo's and pack up for our return to camp. Once back at camp our clients dive into a large meal followed by relaxing ("napping") around camp while the guide's prepare the gear for an evening Saskatchewan duck hunt. Once the sun forces us to shut down for the day we head back to camp to unwind over another hearty meal, swap the daily stories, and make preparations to do it all over again the following morning.

Typical Day:
Upon arrival outfitter Ryan Marsh will meet you at the motel where he will assist you in getting settled in. Ryan will have your pre-purchased hunting license ready for you to sign and pay for upon arrival. He will go over details for the next morning’s hunt and then it is the hunter’s night to relax or go into the sports lounge & have a few cocktails.
Rise and shine "early" for a light breakfast. Ryan will pick you up from the motel then head out to our well scouted field to set out the blinds and decoys. We will hunt till noon. If we have not filled our limit yet we will head back to the motel or go to the nearest restaurant for lunch. After lunch we head back to the same field for the remainder of day or we may move the decoy rig to another field if the spotters have found a better evening field for us to hunt. Once the sun forces us to shut down for the day we head back to camp to unwind over another hearty meal, swap the daily stories and make preparations to do it all over again the following morning.
