I'm originally from the Meadow Lake, SK area but now live in Alberta. I haven't hunted SK since I moved, but the deer populations are down here as well. Really tough winter on them it seems. There are still deer around, but you have less choice and those that are around are much more wary.

Seems like the Mule Deer have done a lot better around here than the Whitetails, although MD are on draw and WT aren't. I did get a small WT buck last night, but we only saw 10 WT's in a couple hours compared to 20 MD.
