Quote
“Thousands of people enjoy the physical challenges of hunting, the shared culture of getting out on the land, and the rewards of a healthy meal of wild game. With the smooth transition to a fully online application process, our staff have completed the draw earlier this year to give hunters more time to prepare for a safe and successful hunting season. I encourage hunters to review the Hunting and Trapping Guide to see what’s new for 2023-24 and learn how we manage our important wildlife resources.”

Minister of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture
