We are a couple of Saskatchewan born and raised guys with a passion and excitement for the outdoors that is unmatched. Big Game Illustrated Media is the collaboration of ideas from both of us to bring what we do to you in a number of ways.
Big Game Illustrated is the magazine for the hunter/outdoorsperson in all of us! We also offer a number of other services listed in the What We Do section.
We hunt/scout/fish/shed hunt/and repeat it all year long all while shooting thousands of images and hours and hours of video - which is where "Northern Giants," was born. Many of the areas we use are seldom accessed or see another foot print. We have a very tight crew with us who are just as dedicated to the outdoors as we are.
We want you to join us on our journey year after year. BGI is for you, and your family and friends, to join us and run wild through pure nature.

Kaare Gunderson is a whitetail fanatic from northwestern Saskatchewan. He tries his best to keep tabs on the bucks that live in his forest fringe hunting area, year round. When the season ends, next season begins with countless hours of searching for shed antlers during the winter and spring and then scouting for one of those bucks that has survived enough years during the summer months. He has been fortunate enough to take some great bucks, most of them in October's muzzleloader season.
We are very excited to welcome Shawn Danychuk to the BGI team. Shawn grew up on a grain farm in central Saskatchewan and continues to farm. He lives to photograph, shed hunt and chase big mulies and whitetails around. Watch for Shawn's contribution in the magazine and other media as he shares some of his pictures and adventures with us.
"I joined the hunting community a little later in life. I began hunting 8 years ago and quickly fell in love with the excitement and challenge of chasing big whitetails. The greatest reward is spending countless hours, and having many close encounters, until finally getting an opportunity to see the animal you have been dreaming about for so long. Since I started hunting, I have been lucky enough to take some great animals, and also now get out every chance I can for elk, moose, bears, varmints, but my passion for whitetails drives me to become a better hunter. My other passion is taking photos of wildlife in the remote areas we spend our time. I carry my camera with me all the time and enjoy sharing what I am able to capture, in hopes of promoting hunting and the outdoors."
"I am a 26 year old outdoor addict from south central Saskatchewan with an applied degree in Environmental Monitoring and Protection. I also spent 4 years as a fishing guide at Lake Athabasca as well as a bird hunting guide at Sask River Lodge. My free time is spent on the water fishing for the next trophy fish or searching the back country for monster whitetail and mule deer. I promote and take pride in ethical hunting as well as catch and release fishing to sustain natural resources. Hunting season never ends for me when it comes to shed hunting, pre-season scouting and food-plotting."

Big Game Illustrated is very please to welcome Adam to the BGI team!
"I grew up in small hunting paradise, started hunting when I was old enough to fit in a pack on my dads back. I became completely addicted by the life altering, stellar sport. Since then I've hunted all over Alberta and successfully killed tremendous trophy animals of every huntable species in AB. I have taken up part time guiding for several outfitters in the fall and spring to lengthen my adrenaline rush and time in the field. Along the way I have met lots of popular faces in the hunting industry, and created many contacts and lifelong clients. I've started doing lots of videoing on my guiding adventures and whenever possible, my own."

"For as long as I remember I have always loved the outdoors. Hunting and fishing trips were a regular occurrence even before I was old enough to hold a fishing rod or firearm. I grew up in central Alberta on an acreage near Fort Saskatchewan. As I grew older hunting became my passion. I live and breathe hunting and the outdoors and with everyday my passion grows stronger. With every season that passes I learn new strategies and I strive to not only find trophies for myself, but friends and family as well. I have been very fortunate over my hunting career thus far and have harvested some tremendous trophies. I am proud to be a BGI team member and look forward to working with my fellow staff and share some of my adventures with fellow outdoorsmen that love the outdoors as much as I do!"
