Big Game Hunting

Retrieval and Wastage of Game

A hunter who kills or injures a big game animal must make every reasonable effort to retrieve it. It is illegal to abandon or spoil the meat of a deer, elk, moose or caribou. If a wounded animal enters an area where hunter access is restricted, contact the local authority (landowner, federal Park Warden) or a Natural Resource Officer before entry into the area.

Field Dress of Game

During a season with a bag limit restricted to male animals only, the antlers or reproductive organs must accompany any big game animal taken.

During a season with a bag limit restricted to antlerless animals only, this includes animals with antlers that are 4 inches (10 cn.) or less, the following must accompany any big game animal taken:

  • the head or reproductive organs, in the case of a female animal;
  • the antlers, in the case of a male animal.
