The Great North Lodge is pleased to offer an all-inclusive opportunity of a lifetime. We have a hunting area that has not been hunted for many years. We have baited this area for the last two years and hunted of the first time last year. We have seen a good number of quality bears of good size and color with good markings. Some of these bears would score for Boone & Crockett. We hunt in zones 70 & 71 in Northern Saskatchewan.

The Great North Lodge has clean accommodations with a licensed dinning room. All hunters will enjoy individual rooms, which will include a bath and shower. You will be able to relax around the fireplace in our main lodge. Hunters will also be pleased with the rugged terrain of the Precambrian Shield. Please be advised that these areas are only accessible by ATV’s or 4-Wheel Drives.

The Great North Lodge all-inclusive hunt would provide accommodations, meals, guides and transportation to and from the baits. We also have freezing facilities for meat and hides. As an added bonus hunters will be able to fish the beautiful waters of Jan Lake, Saskatchewan. this alone would cost $1,500.00 if booked separately. boats , motors, gas, insurance and guide fees for fishing days will be extra. hunters will have to book early, as there are a limited number of allocations for this area. Our success rate in the year 2006 was 100%.

Jan Lake is noted for its exceptional Pickerel and Northern Pike. The average weight of the PICKEREL (WALLEYE) is from two to four pounds. Walleye just don't grow as big in the cold waters of the north as they do in southern Saskatchewan, and the warm lakes and reservoirs of the U.S. Northern Pike - Average weight is from 4 to twelve pounds. A lot of trophy Northern Pike are caught every year from twenty to twenty-five pounds.
