Questions

Mule deer season in Saskatchewan: answers

Is mule deer season open in Saskatchewan right now?

As of October 29, 2026, a mule deer season is running in 62 of the 83 Saskatchewan Wildlife Management Zones North Ground evaluates, under the rules it has certified from the official regulations. In 62 units, whether a season is open to you depends on your hunt — licence, residency, tag or method. By unit: depends on your hunt in 62, closed in 21. A running season is not a licence: licensing, legal hunting hours and local restrictions still apply.

How are mule deer seasons set in Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment sets them by Wildlife Management Zone. North Ground evaluates 83 of them. This page lists what the certified rules state for each of them.

Where do these mule deer season dates come from?

From Hunting — Government of Saskatchewan, The Open Seasons Game Regulations, 2009, c. W-13.12 Reg 3, The Wildlife Act, 1998, c. W-13.12, The Wildlife Management Zones and Special Areas Boundaries Regulations, 1990, c. W-13.1 Reg 45 and The Wildlife Regulations, 1981, c. W-13.1 Reg 1, last verified by North Ground on Oct 1, 2026. The authority's own regulations are the law; confirm with them before you hunt.

Before you rely on this

What this page does not decide

  • Each status is the whole-unit answer for October 29, 2026. A season running in a unit is not a licence, and it does not tell you about restricted areas, municipal by-laws, land access or legal hours at a particular spot — Hunt checks an exact location.
  • A unit marked "Not covered here" has no certified rule for this species. That is a gap in North Ground's coverage, not a closed season.
  • This page describes sport hunting seasons. It does not describe harvesting under treaty or Aboriginal rights, which is a separate legal context North Ground does not evaluate.
