Saskatchewan: Northern Saskatchewan
built 658 days ago
Saskatchewan is one of Canada's 10 provinces, located in the Prairies. Its southern third is predominantly prairie (with a reputation for being very flat), while its northern two-thirds is covered in the boreal forest of the Canadian Shield. The prairie is known for its seemingly endless fields of wheat, while the north contains the majority of Saskatchewan's 100,000 lakes.

The rich soil of the prairies provided Saskatchewan's primary symbol even while it was still part of Canadas North-West Territories. Within a couple of years of the beginning of the twentieth century, E.M. Chadwick designed a composite shield for Canada, his écu complet, which included a proposed design for the arms of the North-West Territories. In the chief it bore a polar bear to represent the northern climes; in the base, four sheaves of wheat to represent the agriculturally rich prairies. The sheaves, reduced to three in number, were incorporated into Saskatchewan's arms on August 25, 1906, shortly after the province was created on September 1, 1905. In the chief of the new arms was one of the Royal Lions of England.

Every serious hunter knows that the largest whitetail deer in the world are produced in Saskatchewan. That is not bragging, that is a biological and Boone and Crocket fact. Only the biggest and the best survive the harsh northern climate. Body mass is one of natures survival characteristics. With big bodies comes BIG antlers, simple as that.
