Waterfowl Hunting Adventures!

Canada Geese, Snows, Specs, Ducks, Upland birds


Kevin lives in the area, has hunted all of his life and loves the sport. He knows where the birds like to feed, the natural flight lanes and all of the resting spots. He follows the feeding patterns so that he knows where and when the birds will dump out of the sky.

Early mornings in Saskatchewan become thrilling when a symphony of waterfowl sounds precedes their appearance. Decoys are out, the calling begins and flock after flock come into view. When they commit to landing, your heart pounds and your mind races.
Here they come – just a little closer,……….

Come to Big Sky Outfitting to experience the thrill of a Saskatchewan waterfowl hunt
that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

About Us

The Rowswell family invites you to experience the incredible Saskatchewan hunting & fishing that they have provided satisfied clients for many years.

Kevin and Cheryl Rowswell have welcomed visiting fisherman and hunters for many years to their hunting and fishing operations. The Rowswells run two seperate operations, Big Sky Outfitting waterfowl hunting and the fly-in Wheeler River Lodge.

Big Sky Outfitting is based at their home near Cut Knife, Saskatchewan. We offer both a spring snow goose hunt as well as a fall migratory and upland bird hunt and are based at the Rowswell’s beautiful farm – which just happens to be located in “waterfowl Heaven”! Waterfowl hunters will thrill as flight after flight of birds drop into the decoys. We will have the fields spotted and equipment ready when you arrive.

Wheeler River Lodge offers incredible fishing as well as hunting for black bear and moose. Kevin and Cheryl are very proud of their beautiful fishing and hunting camp on the Wheeler River. This total wilderness experience offers the finest opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Ammunition can be purchased onsite.
