Where might we find a bison today near Saskatoon? You will find some at Wanuskewin Heritage park and learn more about their importance to the area’s first inhabitants. The Plains Bison were actually a supermarket fulfilling many needs. Did you know that the earliest bison and tool remains in Saskatchewan date to 10 000 years ago? Hunting and prepping the animal with stone tools was an impressive feat especially considering that Bison antiquus was 15-25% larger than modern bison and weighed about 1500 kg.
This is a different type of hunt. First you will spot a modern herd of bison and then locate the information to an important second location.
Start at the coordinates N 52 11.672 W 106 40.799. Park at a friendly close by parking lot and then find a small sign with an 11 digit number. Give each digit a Letter A-K.

N 52 0 (B-4). 2( K+5) (G*2)

At the final you will learn about the demise of the bison and more. Then search for a winter
