I will be headed to Saskatchewan bear hunting this spring (thanks to my loving wife who suprised me with the hunt!). I am wondering if the Cliff Zwickey broad head is legal there. I checked out the huntinting regulations and it states the heads must be 7/8" wide but does not say anything about barbed heads being legal or not. Does anyone know for sure?
Thank you,
Rusty
If it doesn't say it's illegal then you're fine. If you start making calls and asking questions then you'll be looking for trouble.
Just my 2 cents....Ryan
Hey Rusty,Ryans right,I've used them ,never had a problem.
Good deal. Thank you guys for your input.
Rusty
As far as I know their ok.But your outfitter might be able to find out for sure from his local SERM offfice.
If you read section below, 2(a)i) must be a certain diameter and 2(c)(viii)says no barbs.

If you send me model and photo I will verify mail to you if Zwickey broad heads would be included as barbed. If you through Prince Albert on the way up, give me a call.
Tim
I might suggest that you use a non-barbed zwickey such as the eskimo or delta and avoid any potential problem
Just use one of the zillion great heads that are not questionable and avoid getting on their bad side Canadian Mounted Police. You don't want that, AH....
Have a great hunt Rusty!
Thank you everyone. I will stick with my STOS heads just to be safe.
