Get the paperwork done to prepare for hunting season, is the word from Saskatchewan Environment officials.
With Big Game Draw licences already available for purchase, regular licences will be available from Aug. 15.
Hunters have a few options to purchase a licence:
- Online through the Hunting, Angling and Trapping Licence (HAL) system, any time of the day.
- In person from any Saskatchewan hunting licence issuer.
- In person at a Ministry of Environment office with front counter service or at select provincial park offices.
- By phone at 1-855-848-4773 (you will require a credit card).
Hunters must provide their HAL identification number, or any other identification number previously added to their HAL account.
Hunting season will roll out in the various zones in the fall. With about 85 per cent of the land in southern Saskatchewan being privately owned or controlled, hunters are legally required to obtain consent from the landowner or occupant prior to hunting.
More details on things like CWD surveillance and the Saskatchewan Hunters and Trappers Guide are available on the government’s website.
