 SPIRIT OF THE NORTH LODGE IS YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME.
Spirit of the North Trophy Hunts consist of 1,500 acres of heavily timbered, rolling land. We are happy to accommodate muzzleloaders, bow hunters and rifle hunters during our hunts. In 2006, 60% of our hunters used bows.
Only 1½ hours north of Saskatoon and easily accessible by road, our fully furnished lodge provides all modem amenities, bedding, towels, a full-time cook, and a big screen satellite TV for watching your favorite hunting videos. The homelike, family atmosphere at Spirit of the North provides a perfect environment for family participation. Elk Hunters are welcomed to bring their spouse and family members with them. We can accommodate up to 10 hunters per week.
 STYLE OF SASKATCHEWAN ELK HUNTING
Hunt on a 1500 acre private Saskatchewan ranch. In the early fall, when the bull elk are bugling, there is nothing more exciting than calling a giant enraged bull into bow, rifle or muzzleloader range. When the calling subsides, the elk are hunted by ambushing them from blinds or tree stands, in accordance with the preference of the hunter. Our professional Saskatchewan elk hunting guides will always be on hand to assist you in selecting your ultimate trophy.
 ARRIVAL POINT FOR INCOMING GUESTS
Fly into the Saskatoon International Airport, where we will make arrangements to meet you and transport you to the lodge, or you if prefer to drive to our facility on your own, car rentals are available at the Saskatoon airport. Driving maps available upon request.
WHAT TO BRING: PERSONAL ITEMS:
Bring casual camp dress for your non-hunting hours, as well as your personal toiletries. That's really all you'll need.
 ELK HUNTING CLOTHING:
Bring soft, quiet hunting clothing to suit the season. Early fall will range from frosty mornings to T-shirt weather in the afternoons. Late season hunts in October through December may drop well below freezing. Bring  comfortable hunting boots to match the weather conditions.
ELK HUNTING EQUIPMENT:
Hunters may bring bows or rifles or both, as Spirit of the North accommodates both styles of hunting perfectly. It is best to bring your own ammunition and general hunting tackle with you, but if necessary, ammo can be purchased at the lodge.

Because Spirit of the North is a private hunting entity, no provincial hunting license is required for Saskatchewan elk hunts. Spirit of the North will provide all required documentation and export papers for your game.

All Saskatchewan elk hunts are three (3) days long. Additional hunting days can be purchased subject to availability.
 GUIDES: The Spirit of the North guides are Blaine, Randy and Dale. Darrell and Dwayne are our "Skinners" who will take care of and process your trophies for transportation. When Darrell and Dwayne are not skinning, they are also our guides. All of our guides are experienced lifetime hunters and are extremely knowledgeable and able to help you with any questions or concerns. You will be in very good hands as our guides treat the hunter as Number 1!
