Saskatchewan Waterfowl Limits

Waterfowl hunting is a popular outdoor activity in Saskatchewan, and at Tiger Hills Outfitting, hunters have the opportunity to pursue a variety of species including cranes, Snow geese, Canada geese, mallards, pintails, and widgeons. However, it's important for hunters to be aware of the waterfowl limits in place to ensure the sustainability of these species.

In Saskatchewan, the waterfowl hunting season typically runs from September to December. During this time, hunters are allowed to harvest a certain number of waterfowl per day, with the specific limits varying depending on the species. For example, in the province of Saskatchewan, the daily limit for ducks is 8 birds per day, while the daily limit for Canada geese 8 is birds per day. The daily possession for snow geese is 20 birds per day. The daily limit for cranes in 5.

It's important to note that these daily limits apply to the total number of birds that a hunter harvests, regardless of whether they are hunted on public or private land. In addition to the daily limits, there are also possession limits in place, which dictate the maximum number of birds that a hunter can have in their possession at any given time. For example, the possession limit for ducks is 24 birds, while the possession limit for Canada geese is 24 birds. The possession limit for cranes is 15 birds. There is no possession limit for snow geese. 

In addition to the daily and possession limits, there are also restrictions in place for the hunting of certain species during certain times of the year. For example, there is a closure period for the hunting of certain waterfowl species during their breeding and nesting seasons to protect these birds and ensure the sustainability of the population.
