Brian grew up in Cut Knife, and has been a Federation member since 2013 and has fond memories of many Wild Game Dinners. He looks forward to many more years with the Federation, and is excited to see the membership grow.

His hobbies include hunting and fishing, of course, as well as spending time with family and friends outdoors, and watching his children participate in the air rifle program. He also coaches kids’ baseball, goes canoeing and paddleboarding, and does a little CrossFit so that he can stay in good enough shape for all of these activities.

Howard handles a majority of the Outdoor Range upkeep, and is the Federation’s most well-known Range Safety Officer. And if you’ve ever eaten at a Saskatoon Wildlife Federation dinner, there is a good chance Howard had a hand in preparing your meal!

His fondest hunting story is when he received a call from his father during the 1974 hunting season, telling him to come out to the east side of Lake Winnipegosis for the weekend. Upon arrival, he discovered that his father had shot a monster bull moose in the muskeg south of Strong Lake, and needed help retrieving it. They worked all weekend, quartering the bull and taking it out one piece at a time via canoe. The CO said this was the largest moose he had seen in his lifetime! Wayde told his father that, if this happens again, to build a fire and start eating.

Wayde enjoys target shooting, fishing, camping, restoring cars, and collecting firearms… especially lever rifles and Savage 99s. He and his wife Joan have two children and four grandchildren.

Brad has been a member of the Saskatoon Wildlife Federation for 13 years. Brad would like to see memberships grow in all the sporting clubs that the federation supports and regain the capacity to deliver conservation programming as a stand-alone club to set a better example for other conservation clubs around the province.

Gordon has taught firearm safety and hunter education since 1964. Today, his hobbies include flower gardening, reading, and stock car racing.

He enjoys long-distance shooting and has competed in Nokomis and spent his fair share of time behind a loading bench. His current passion is getting individuals who are new to hunting the knowledge and access required for this great way of life. As a hunter and landowner, he believes the new property laws are a huge hurdle to overcome and will challenge new hunters. Jay’s hope is to help new hunters navigate their way through the new laws.
