The 2024 Whitetail Survivors – Top 21

It's the first official day of winter, although our unofficial winter started back in early November with the first big dump of snow and overnight (morning drive to the tree stand) temperatures pushing well below -25 (-15 Fahrenheit). With today's weather adding another layer of snow to our northern forests, it seems like a good time to look back. The 2024 Whitetail Deer season is now a few weeks past. Our clients shot some incredible deer, passed on some of the up and comers, and many have already booked for next year's quest for some of the elusive big bucks still on four legs. We have put together an image gallery below of our favorite 21 Whitetail trail cam deer. Our criteria for which deer have been chosen was pretty loose and entirely subjective. Some of these bucks just have tremendous mass. Some have incredible G2 and G3s. Some with amazing brow tines and drop tines. Some with bucks preparing to square off. Some with enormous spread and others are just so very symmetrical it was hard to exclude them.

Every year there are many stories of the deer that were seen but never presented a good shooting opportunity, or those that chased does through the bait site at nearly full speed then were never seen again.  For every deer that is harvested each year, there are countless numbers that our clients have the good sense to let walk away and continue growing. Some of the great news coming out of this season is noticing the number of "almost there" bucks. Not all of the deer roaming our outfitting territory are ready to end up on your wall and some of our top 21 show the tremendous potential that another year of adding mass and inches will produce.

All bucks in the gallery below survived the 2024 hunting season.

Did you notice we cheated and actually posted up 25 instead of the 21 we promised?  Maybe one of the extra 4 will find there way into your stand site in 2025!

2024 Whitetail Season Week 5

Winter is here, more or less as expected.  The snow is now several feet deep after two significant snowfalls and we have had a number of days with mid-winter like temperatures.  This is driving the deer to the feed sites and giving our hunters excellent shooting opportunities.  Trail cam images shown below are all from the fifth week of the Saskatchewan whitetail hunting season. We have another week of updates coming yet as we have just welcomed the final group of hunters for the season. For a look at the trophy deer taken so far this season, as well as more extensive gallery of whitetail trail cam pics, please have a look at the main whitetail deer hunting page.

2024 Whitetail Season Week 4

Snow on the ground and temperatures are dropping.  That means does and bucks looking for readily available feed.  Action at the bait sites is increasing rapidly with excellent quality bucks hitting the feed piles with consistency.  These trail cam images were all taken during the fourth week of the hunting season. Any downed deer have been removed from this trail cam gallery. We have been seeing new deer appearing on the cameras, some we have not yet seen this season.  These images below are some of the Week 4 survivors.

2024 Whitetail Season Week 3


With a number of deer down we are seeing the success rate pick up with changes in weather.  We will post the whitetail deer trophy pics after the season on our whitetail hunting page.  Plenty of good action at the bait sites with excellent quality bucks hitting the feed piles with consistency.  These trail cam images were all taken during the third week of the hunting season and all these bucks are still available to our hunters. Any downed deer have been removed from this trail cam gallery. The guides are constantly working hard to keep the bait sites loaded with fresh feed and we are seeing the shooting opportunities steadily increasing.  These images below are some of the Week 3 survivors.

2024 Whitetail Season Week 2


We are approaching the mid-point of the 2024 Whitetail season. Our muzzle loader week and the first week of rifle season have now passed at Otter Creek Outfitters. The Northern Saskatchewan Whitetails are enjoying a mild fall season so far, but we are seeing more and more activity at the bait sites.  Does are feeding more often and more regularly and the bucks are close behind. There are still many high scoring bucks showing up on our trail cams. Check out the incredible triple drop tine! We have posted a number of the trail cam images in the gallery below. These are images taken during the second week of the hunting season and all these are still on four legs. Any deer already taken have been removed from this trail cam gallery. The guides are constantly working hard to keep the bait sites loaded with fresh feed and we are seeing the shooting opportunities steadily increasing.  These images below are some of the Week 2 survivors.

2024 Whitetail Season Week 1


Week 1 of the 2024 Whitetail season is now behind us. This was our muzzle loader week here at Otter Creek Outfitters in Northern Saskatchewan. There are some excellent bucks that have survived the week. We have posted a number of the trail cam images in the gallery below. You will notice we are seeing quite a bit of daytime movement by the bucks now.

2024 Whitetail Season Preview

We are excited to be entering our first fall whitetail season as owners of Otter Creek Outfitters. Thanks to the past efforts of Ron, the deer population, health, and quality is all in excellent shape. There are some very big bucks roaming the forest in our territory. We are happy to share some trail cam images of these on this page as well as in our drop box folder. As we move through the weeks of the season we plan to post a quick update shortly after each week with a few trophy pics, a few comments, and some recent trail cam pics of what's still out there walking around.

You can also go straight to our Drop Box link to see a large number of trail cam pics from this season. Drop Box 2024
