2024-2025 hunting seasons for moose
Modifications in zone 17
Based on the results of the 2021 aerial surveys 
and in compliance with obligations under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA), moose hunting activities in zone 17 will be limited to harvesting by Indigenous people for subsistence hunting, until further notice. The decline in the population of moose observed in this area implies a decrease in harvesting.
Hunting dates are established based on the zone where hunting is permitted, the type of weapon used, the sex of the animal and its maturity.
Specifications on the hunting zones
Hunting may be prohibited in certain territories within a given zone. If it is permitted, the conditions may differ from those of the hunting zone in which those territories are located. You will need to communicate with the person or group responsible for the territories in question to find out the rules.
A resident holding an adult female moose hunting licence (random draw) may hunt adult female moose at the location indicated on their licence. The adult female moose hunting licence (random draw) for zone 1 cannot be used in a wildlife reserve or the Casault ZEC.
To find out what to do before, during and after hunting moose, refer to the rules for this species.
