I guess the Hansen buck probably did a lot to attract US hunters to Sask. We also had a bad thing happen up in my home area. And American hunter poached a deer that was pretty nice, and the publicity that it generated has our woods swelled with guys from Vermont, Connecticutt, Alabama, Wisconsin etc.
Worst thing they ever did was publicize that deer. It was shot after dark. Hard to find a decent area that is not full of "southern neighbours."
