2022-2023 hunting seasons in wildlife reserves
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.
Changes to the authorized periods and segments may be made at any time as required. It is your responsibility to abide by the terms and conditions in effect before you practice your activity.
Specifications on the hunting zones
A wildlife reserve may not offer daily access rights for small game hunting on certain days during a given period. For more information or to find out the opening dates for small game hunting, visit the Sépaq website

During a season of antlered deer hunting, the holder of an antlerless deer hunting licence (random draw) may hunt antlerless deer in the location indicated on their licence. When antlerless deer licences (random draw) are issued for a wildlife reserve or ZEC, the licences for the zone are not valid in these territories and the licences issued for these territories cannot be used in the zone.
