Random draw

Random draws for large game hunting are held every year, and only resident hunters are eligible to register. Two types of random draws are offered:

• Limited hunting licence (adult female moose, antlerless deer
• Hunting in a wildlife reserve

The limited hunting licences allow the winners to hunt for the designated animal at the location indicated on the licence. Hunters who win the right to hunt in a wildlife reserve may hunt for moose or white-tailed deer in the sectors reserved for them.

* The number of limited hunting licences allocated in each zone and territory is determined based on the analysis of deer and moose population monitoring data. Since 2021, the registration period is in June, in order to better take into account information on winter severity that affects white-tailed deer populations.

Take part in a random draw

The winner of a female moose licence or an antlerless deer licence does not have to take any particular steps to receive a special licence. They only have to buy their regular or additional white-tailed deer or moose hunting licence at a licence sales outlet. The system will automatically attach the special licence for antlerless deer or female moose at no additional cost.

Special rules apply to these various draws, which are generally managed by the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (Sépaq). For additional information on the draws, please visit the site Web de la Sépaq  or call 1 800 665-6527.
