Saskatchewan is known for producing some of the biggest whitetail bucks in North America, and this year’s NAW TV episode showcased two absolute slammers that truly defined the term “trophy buck.” These two giants, both pushing well past the 170-inch mark, became the centerpiece of a thrilling hunt that had us on the edge of our seats from start to finish.
The adventure started early in the season, with our cameras rolling as we ventured into the vast, open landscapes of Saskatchewan. The rolling fields, dense timber, and untouched wilderness set the stage for what promised to be an unforgettable hunt. We had two bucks in mind – both were regulars on the trail cams, and each had the potential to become the next big thing in the region.
We spent the first few days tracking deer, observing their movements, and adjusting our strategy. The first buck we spotted was a massive 10-point, his antlers wide and symmetrical, with beams that seemed to stretch endlessly. He was the type of buck that makes your heart race, and we knew he was in the area. The second buck, a larger, heavier-racked 12-point, was the one we were really hoping for. His rack was beyond impressive, with long tines and an incredible spread, making him a true Saskatchewan slammer.
The first encounter came unexpectedly. The 10-point buck appeared just as we were getting ready to move stands. The wind was perfect, and he walked into range without a care in the world. We knew it was our chance, and with steady hands, we took the shot. The arrow flew true, and the buck dropped within sight, his massive frame crumpling in the field.
But the real excitement came the following morning. As the sun began to rise, the 12-point buck appeared, just as we had hoped. He stepped into the clearing, his antlers towering above him. We waited for the perfect moment and made a clean shot. He bolted into the timber, but after a short tracking session, we found him just a few hundred yards away, his massive rack gleaming in the early morning light.
Two Saskatchewan slammers in two days – it was the hunt of a lifetime, one that would be remembered for years to come. NAW TV captured it all, from the first sighting to the final moments, bringing viewers along for an unforgettable ride through the wilds of Saskatchewan. It’s a hunt that epitomizes everything we love about big game hunting – patience, strategy, and the thrill of the chase.
