Frequently Asked Questions

Can a zone-associated hunting licence be used for wildlife reserve stays?

Yes, hunters whose regular or additional licence is still valid will be able to make a hunting trip to a wildlife reserve even if it is not located in the zone indicated on the licence. However, the harvest limit of the hunting zone in which this reserve is located will have to be respected.

Will white-tailed deer hunting be allowed in two wildlife reserves?

Yes, hunters will be able to harvest up to two deer from wildlife reserves. However, the deer will have to be harvested from reserves in different hunting zones since the zones where wildlife reserves are found all have a harvest limit of one deer per zone. It will therefore not be possible to harvest two deer from the same wildlife reserve.

What zone should I choose when purchasing my white-tailed deer licence if I have booked a stay at Réserve faunique de Papineau-Labelle?

You can use the licence of any zone for a stay at a wildlife reserve. The important thing is to make sure that it is still valid.

Will it be possible to bait white-tailed deer in 2020?

Hunters will only be able to bait white-tailed deer between September 1 and November 30 each year. However, the use of mineral substances (e.g. salt blocks) will still be permitted year-round.

Will it be possible to use natural urine or tarsal glands during my deer hunting trip in 2020?

No, only synthetic urine will be allowed as of 2020, even on Anticosti Island. This does not affect the use of moose urine.
