We had the same thing happen to us several years ago in Saskatchewan, our guys were there before the outfitter. We had permission from the farmer and still got kicked off by the outfitter.Very frustrating but you guys scratched one out for us. Nice to see the reality of hunting. You guys were the better men. Even though it stinks, you kept it positive and still were blessed!
Good on you guys for walking away. I’ve had lots of landowners say that they no longer let anyone on their land due to hunters causing drama and forcing the landowner to get in the middle. Glad you guys were still able to get out and knock some down.
As a Saskatchewan born and raised avid waterfowl hunter, I think people are under the impression that Saskatchewan is the Wild West and is a untapped sportsman’s paradise, in some cases that’s true but the outfitters in the prairie provinces are getting out of hand. I know the outfitter in question and it’s not just them so to point a finger is wrong but you can’t help but have anger towards them for locking up every hunt and bribing farmers. To all you free lance hunters If your coming to Saskatchewan be respectful, pick up your garbage, give back to the community’s you stay in, this is our home and your vacation.
Can't agree more. We got 4 outfitting businesses 20 minutes from Quill Lake. Then adding the free lancers. It's hard enough with them locking up every field for weeks and seeing those birds never get shot up. makes it almost impossible for a local like my self to go out with some Budies on weekend. Absolutely brutal!
As a Saskatchewan farmer i have allowed lots of hunters on my land to hunt and never a problem, next i held an outfitters license for 30 years never used it much but at least i had it if i wanted to, always leave the land the way you found it also if its wet stay out and don’t rut up the mans field as these days it’s continuous cropping and very hard to get fill the ruts in with air drill… Also where i live its been very dry so not likely there will be any hunting allowed because if someone hunting started a fire and burned out my neighbours place sure wouldn’t feel very good. The thing that get me are the one that never ask permission and play dumb!
Truth. If you can’t tell a quality guy from the riff raff, bad on you. I have hunted with guys on my X and I hunted well when I was on theirs. We are all in this together. My old hunting partner used to say “‘WE’ hunt ducks not I. Sage advice. Either that or they suck at calling and shooting!lol😢
As a non water foul hunter it’s super interesting hearing the strategies of laying out decoys one way or another. I always figured it was just throw a bunch of them out there at random and hope something shows up 😂 also after they declined letting you join I knew all I needed to hear about the others
Man you boys just got it down different than the rest of the UA-cam hunters. By far the best waterfowl content on UA-cam. I hate on the dux brand but they got Cole so it can’t be that bad 🤷♂️
Two guys trying to profit from waterfowl hunting. Sheep of the same flock I’d say. Waterfowl hunters are in large the most ruthless and shameless of all our hunting brethren. I see nothing new here. Pretty rare two groups of opposing waterfowl hunters have friendly encounters.
Just had it happen a couple of weeks ago. Great dove, teal, big ducks and goose spot. I was literally loading the truck for first afternoon hunt when I got the text from the son (55 yr old). “Grandpa” took the $$$ from Infinite Outdoors without telling his son. I went from permission for the season for FREE, to the option of paying $150 per hunt, plus another $100 per “guest” like my wife or some buddies. Hits right in the gut.
I wish you would give us some kind of HINT. I’m planning a Trip up there next Year, and I definitely don’t want to use an Outfitter that would do something like that.
Know the feeling. We have shot on a farm for 40 years, and now the farmers son has let one of his friends on. The latest thing he did was leave a load of dead pigeons on a field where we had been watching; letting the numbers build up. Hey!Ho! What can you do. We are not on the geese yet, but at least when they arrive we have got several farm to ourselves.
Had a outfitter come in and lease a good field we hunted well our family owned the field in front of it witch just so happens to be in front of the flight path lol they got so bent oh well
Cole I was wondering if maybe when you have some free time can you do a pattern test on the shotz ammo at some ranges with whatever choke on the fence about buying them just because of the range limitations and where we hunt
Great video in spite of the last minute location change you had to make. I've been in that situation, but the other group was cool, and we hunted together. Too bad that's not how it worked out for you. Sweet video nonetheless.
We used to let' them singles make motion in the deek's specially if you're having to traffic shoot...! Try it'sometime's.. Also. It always good to get your permission's in writing. Date's, time's always!
That's sucks. Imagine being a Canadian local guy who only gets to hunt once a week and having some fancy outfitter from the states show up in your area and lock up all the fields they can so they can have their groups of 11 hunters from Alabama pound the birds into oblivion and you can't get access to hunt in your own backyard where you live and pay taxes. Where the outfitter tells land owners he has" the right" to guide here. It's really nice. The outfitters have gotten crazy around here. I think Alberta and Saskatchewan should follow Manitoba's lead and limit how long American hunters can stay up here. What do they do with all the birds they shoot? The Conservation officers should be all over these shady outfitters.
@@peterlittle8880 I never said or expressed that at all… but with that being said.. I’ve owned two outfitters in this country. I’ve been the outfitter in this same scenario where we were the first to the field and the locals had permission as well. Over 30 times this has happened to me as an outfitter and I let locals hunt with me every single time. Not because I have to but to me it’s the right thing to do. Not only have I made some incredible friendships with Canadians along the way but as an owner of an outfitter the upside to having locals or other hunters on your side is nothing but a good thing. Not to mention the owner of the field told me he doesn’t allow outfitters to hunt so it threw me off. I’m a humble guy and love making friends with other hunters in the community. It has nothing to do with being bowed down to. If I wanted to be bowed down to we would have been able to get them out of the field no problem but like you said I’m a guest and I walked away politely. Even told the guys where another big feed was that they didn’t know about. Great question though. I appreciate it!
Your point is somewhat valid. However, I live in an area of the states where we have a ton of outfitters bringing out guided hunts and if I ran into a similar issue with another American who lives in the same state as me I would likely be kinda salty for at least the morning. I think that's all you're seeing here.
@@ColeTownsendThe this. im a canadian and agree with you. im not a guide just a local albertan that only goes out with 1 or 2 people. love that you give guys tips. lots of people out there with the old school mentality that think sharing information is bad. only started waterfowl huntin in the past 2 years and i love it. im always trying to get pointers and hints at where birds maybe at in the area. i havent had the situation where another hunter or outfit was in the same field that morning but i have come across a few people scouting some even checking out the ponds in the public sites i usually just stop chat with them a bit and move onto a different area. to many self entitled people out there that think theres not enough land to share. but good on you for not making a big stink out of it no point in ruin eachothers hunts everyone is out there to have good time. if your ever looking for a hunting partner or someone to help with scouting in central alberta hit me up. im also looking to learn as much as possible. hard to find guys that want to take a guy just getting into it out. the only reason why ive contemplated going on guided hunt just to gain some knowledge. im not new to hunting just new to waterfowl.
With what you were saying about that jackass sky banging then birds, maybe just maybe it would have been a hell of a video!! Cole and Whitey dragging those idiots out of the field by their ear lobes, “all right youngsters, out you go!”
That sucks man they should have let join with them but probably better they didn't cause that's all you need is some clown calling the shot instead of you guys you let them work in good they were just sky busting
I know the outfitter and the land owner as well both very good people. The only problem i have ever had was bird hunters from the good ole USA getting permission from me and then they themselves passed along permission to another group of hunter that they knew and at the time started raining and they tore up our feild . Was less than impressed and would never let anyone other than the outfitter in guestion and locals hunt our land . So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Kind of curious what Cole as an outfitter would do if the roles were reversed and you have 25 grand USD worth of clients in the blind that don’t want the freelance party of two to join? And Cole the outfitter also has permission from the owner of the land not the son of the owner …
Cole as an outfitter has dealt with this over 100 times and Cole as an outfitter has let every single local/freelancer hunt with us if they wanted to. Cole as an outfitter has made some of his best friends with this happening. Cole as an outfitter has been in dudes weddings from this happening. Cole as an outfitter has seen nothing but positive things happen letting guys hunt that had permission too. Cole as an outfitter has permission from the land owner being the son. I love meeting new people and making friends. Cole as an outfitter would have loved to promote that guys business in the video to get him clients to that actually pay 25k usd but the outfitter didn’t see the upside like I’ve seen being an owner of 3 outfitter. Like I said in the video. not a big deal. Missed opportunity.
@@toddbunnett640 I’ve never had clients say no or complain but it’s a lot better joining than someone setting up in another part of the field… also, if that were to ruin a clients day I wouldn’t want them back anyways.
@@skydouglas996how is that him being triggered? He handled it the correct way both when he was an outfitter and in this video… not a single real waterfowler would say man if these two guys join out hunt it will ruin it lol
You found the birds why shouldn't you reap the rewards and decrease the % of a wounded bird. If you can decoy a bird I think you have every right to harvest and not be judged.
Its definitely nice to some some guys be patient and that can shoot. If i had a dollar for every time i heard a guy say we never sky bust haha and ive seen some terrible shooting as well just like that outfitter. Nice shootin boys.

This is what happens when money gets involved. It's ruining the sport.
Dude you never sleep ahahahaha! I’m from Quebec, Canada and your videos surprise me everytime
The fact they said no to teaming up says a lot about their character smh…
i dont enjoy hunting with people outside of my group at all, too many clowns out there

Birds finally starting to stack up around my area in Manitoba, I’d say 10-14 days late is accurate here as well. Been a slow start.

Sorry man, here I thought I was the only one that has those kind of days. Thanks for sharing the ups and downs!

I love your attitude about it stay humble your better than they are nice shoot
What outfitter?!
I wouldn’t even give them that lol no kinda advertisement at all
@@richdonnelly7974the answer is in the first second of the video

There’s always a few bad apples in the group.
