It was the end of October and that could only mean one thing… the Driven crew was headed up to our favorite whitetail spot in Saskatchewan. Along on this trip were good friends, Mike Jahnke, Clint Walker and Whitney Fouts, Whit’s dad Kevan Fouts, and Chad Schumacher. Also joining us was Pat’s daughter Olivia, and she was going to try to take her first Saskatchewan buck with her Barnett Crossbow. We met up with Brandon Schreiber and the crew at Buck Country Outfitters and made plans to head out to the bush.
Clint was the first to strike with this tall tined stud on day 2! Whit laid down some awesome footage.
The same day Mike Jahnke knocked down another awesome buck with his Mathews. Mike has been on quite the roll, and added to the long list of big bucks that he has taken here.
Whitney followed up with this huge deer. This is why we come to Saskatchewan…. to chase these huge bodied monster canadian monster bucks.
Pat had been filming Olivia, and Bryan was filming Nicole, but on day 4 we decided to switch up our luck. Bryan went with Olivia, and Pat with Nicole. Well, it worked! Nicole smoked this awesome buck with her Mathews that night!
That same night, Kevan put the smackdown on this heavy horned buck. This was Kevan’s first deer ever! To say he was pumped would be an understatement. Congratulations Kevan!
While helping recover Whit’s deer, Mike and guide Oneil stumbled onto something special. This is a matched set from a huge Saskatchewan giant! Each one of them found a side about 300 yards apart.
Mike’s side scored 93″ and Oneils was 90″. These sheds are incredible and off a true Canadian monarch.
Olivia hunted her butt off all week. In the blind, all day, every day. It was down to the last day and her and Pat headed to the same blind where Whitney had shot her deer. They had been getting Eyecon pictures of a dark heavy horned 10 pointer there and Olivia was determined.
With deer all around them, the dark horned 10 appeared back in the timber…and here he came! Olivia got her buck… a little last day magic! She stayed patient, persistent, and Driven and it all paid off! Congratulations Olivia!
I don’t know who was more excited, Olivia or dad, Pat. I know it was such a special moment for him, being able to share this experience with his daughter. Surely one neither of them will ever forget.
Also on the last day in the final minutes of the hunt, good friend Chad Schumacher arrowed this awesome buck. Check out that character. This was also Chad’s first trip to Saskatchewan and I think he will definitely be back!
Buck Country Outfitters is one of our favorite places, not just because of the big bucks, but also because we get to make memories with great friends and people we love.
Thanks to Brandon Schreiber, Dean Kuypers, and everybody at Buck Country Outfitters.
