Guides

I (Cory) was born and raised in the central flyway and big game bounty of Saskatchewan. I love hunting. My Dad and Granddad were both avid hunters and started teaching me about harvesting nature at the age of three. I carry their combined lifetime knowledge and expertise of the local land in my outfitting zone. My first big game milestone was at the age of 16 on October 9, 1993 – a muzzle loader mule deer that was officially scored as a 176. I have hunted mule deer, white tailed deer, elk, moose, antelope, waterfowl, and upland birds extensively for over 33 years all in Saskatchewan. I hold a 2008 world record for a 35 lb rainbow trout I caught here in my home guiding area 20 minutes from our farm. Like my father and his father before him, I am passing my love of hunting on to my two sons. My sons Rylan and Reed are both already experienced big game and waterfowl hunters and showing interest in the family outfitting business. Seeing the next generation hunting adds a whole new element to the outdoor passion we’ve developed. Not only do I know the land and the wildlife here, I also know generations of people here from growing up here my whole life.

While I enjoy being outdoors, hunting and having fun, I have also acquired the education, skills, and discipline necessary to organize, run and maintain a successful business long term. I hold a professional designation in accounting; however, I’ve focused exclusively on the outfitting business for the past 15 plus years. I’m a straight shooter – there are no surprises when you hunt with me at Highland Outfitters.
