How To Use This Guide Information on our

automated Hunting, Angling and Trapping
What’s New for 2021 licence (HAL) system is on page 26.
Quota-Limited Antlerless Mule Deer: The ministry has reviewed the allocation structure
of antlerless mule deer licences across Saskatchewan, and a new quota-limited antlerless
mule deer licence is now available in select wildlife management zones (WMZs) where
draw applications in the past two years have been lower than the available quota (WMZs
3, 7E, 7W, 8, 11, 12, 14W). This new license is available on a first-come, first-served basis
through your HAL account. See page 24 for details.
Quota-Limited Antlerless White-tailed Deer (Second Licence): Additional second
antlerless white-tailed deer licences will be offered for combined WMZs in select regions
of the province for 2021. Second antlerless licences will be available for either combined
WMZs 1, 2E, 2W, 3-6, 7E, 7W, 8-13, 14E, 14W and 19 (SW); or 33-35, 37 and 39 (E); or WMZ
55 on a first-come, first-served basis through your HAL account. See page 28 for details.
Hunting, Angling and Trapping Licence (HAL) System Audits: Over the past year, the
ministry conducted an audit to assess compliance with The Firearm Safety/Hunter
Education Regulations, 2009 for licences purchased through the online HAL system. The
ministry will continue to periodically audit our licence programming to ensure
regulations are being followed. It is your responsibility to understand any and all
eligibility requirements prior to applying for or purchasing licences. Any suspected
fraudulent account activity will be investigated and charges laid, as appropriate.
Use of Motorized Wheelchairs for Hunting: Previously, certain motorized devices used
by hunters with mobility impairments met the definition of an all-terrain vehicle in the
regulations. The ministry has amended the definition of an all-terrain vehicle so that
motorized devices used by hunters with mobility impairments are excluded. Hunters will
no longer have to obtain a permit to use a motorized wheelchair for hunting.
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD): CWD has been detected in 56 WMZs and is wide-
spread south of the boreal forest across Saskatchewan. Prevalence rates in mule deer and
white-tailed deer continue to increase in endemic areas. The disease has been detected in
elk and there have been sporadic cases in moose. It has not yet been detected in caribou.
For the 2021-22 surveillance season, the ministry is accepting sample submissions
province-wide, and is requesting samples from target zones 2W, 9, 10, 35, 37, as well as
boreal transition zones 50 and 55 to meet surveillance objectives. Hunters can help
reduce spread of CWD by avoiding the use of bait and minerals, quartering and deboning
their meat in the field and disposing of waste in a licensed landfill that accepts big game
carcasses. For more information on CWD and the 2021 CWD Surveillance Program, visit
saskatchewan.ca/CWD.

Changes for 2022

The following changes are planned for the 2022-23 hunting season:
Wildlife Management Fee
Hunter harvest surveys are essential for making management decisions, maintaining
healthy wildlife populations and protecting future hunting opportunities. Completion
of hunter harvest surveys is now mandatory. The ministry will be implementing a
wildlife management fee of $20 that will apply to hunters who fail to complete their
hunter harvest survey. Implementing the fee is intended to improve completion rates.
Hunters following the conditions of their licence, and who submit their survey(s) prior
to the completion deadline, will not be affected. A portion of the fees collected (30 per
cent) will be directed to the Fish and Wildlife Development Fund (FWDF) to support
wildlife and habitat management in Saskatchewan. Hunters are reminded it is now a
legal requirement to complete the survey(s) and something you have agreed to do by
purchasing your licence.
Hunting Opportunities for 2021

White-tailed Deer
Population surveys for white-tailed deer indicate stable or increasing populations
throughout most regions of the province. Additional hunting opportunities for
white-tailed deer are being offered for 2021. See pages 27 and 28 for details.
Moose
As moose populations in the forest continue to decline, hunting opportunities in all
forest WMZs will be bulls-only until populations recover. The draw season for bulls-
only in WMZs 56-69 is standardized, with a quota of 25 in each WMZ. The ministry is
taking steps to better understand forest moose populations and trends, with a
survey planned for WMZs 56 and 57 in early 2022. A research project is also planned
for fall 2021 in the east-central part of the province, where cow moose will be radio-
collared. This will allow wildlife managers to determine cause-specific mortality of
cow moose to better inform population management.
Moose populations in the boreal forest transition zone appear to be stable. There
are some localized areas in the parkland where moose numbers have declined.
Elk
Recent mild winters have benefited elk populations in various regions of the
province. Increased elk quotas and late antlerless seasons remain available within a
number of WMZs for the 2021 hunting season. In addition to a new draw
opportunity in the Regina-Moose Jaw WMZ, quota increases are being offered for
either-sex elk in WMZs 5, 6 and 41, and antlerless elk in WMZs 5, 41 and 48. In
WMZ 33 (including Moose Mountain Provincial Park), the two-bag limit will continue
for draw antlerless elk hunters. Regular elk season dates will remain unchanged
from last year.
4
Mule Deer
Mule deer populations are doing well across Saskatchewan, although chronic wasting
disease continues to be a significant concern for population health. Survey data
suggests mule deer populations are increasing in the parkland and boreal transition
regions of the province, resulting in increased quotas and hunting opportunities for
either-sex and antlerless mule deer. Quota-limited antlerless mule deer licences will be
available on a first-come, first-served basis in some WMZs, available through your HAL
account. In addition, draw antlerless mule deer licences will continue to be offered with
a bag limit of one or two deer, depending on the WMZ. See pages 23 and 24 for details.
Regular archery mule deer opportunities will remain unchanged for 2021.
Pronghorn
Pronghorn have shown strong population growth across their range, but may be
affected by the harsh 2020-21 winter weather conditions. Wildlife managers are
proposing to maintain current hunting opportunities in 2021, with either-sex quotas in
all eight pronghorn management units – WMZs 1-15, 18, 19 and 23-27. Surveys
planned for July will help determine whether quotas will be adjusted this year.
Applications for the pronghorn draw must be submitted during the Big Game Draw in
May. However, the pronghorn draw will not be conducted until July. Please check the
listed WMZ combinations to ensure you are applying for your preferred hunting areas.
Draw results are released immediately after the draw is completed and an email notice
will be sent out. The status of the pronghorn draw will also be posted on our website.
Game Birds
Upland game bird populations vary across the province. Sharp-tailed grouse continue
to increase in most regions and have reached the threshold to increase bag limits in the
southwest. Elsewhere in the province, local pockets may have recovered, but
populations generally remain below target levels. Similarly, gray partridge populations
continue to increase in most regions, but remain below target levels in zones with a
restricted harvest strategy in place. Ring-necked pheasant populations remain stable.
Forest grouse populations remain near a low point in their natural cycle. Although
spring and summer conditions may have an impact, particularly in southern
Saskatchewan, generally waterfowl populations remain at or above target levels across
much of the province. Seasons and bag limits remain unchanged, with the exception of
an increase to sharp-tailed grouse bag limits in the southwest. Please see pages 35 and
36 for more information.
Hunting under the influence

Hunting under the influence of alcohol, cannabis or other narcotics is illegal.
If you suspect an intoxicated hunter, report them to TIPP at 1-800-667-7561 or
SaskTel Cell # 5555

Residency and Veteran Definitions

Saskatchewan resident: A person who is a Canadian resident whose principal
residence is in Saskatchewan, has lived in the province for three months immediately
prior to applying for a licence and possesses a valid Saskatchewan Health Services
card (including RCMP members). This includes a person who is a regular member of
the Canadian Armed Forces that is stationed and residing in the province or who was
a Saskatchewan resident when recruited or deployed from the province.
Canadian resident: A person whose principal residence is in Canada and is a
Canadian citizen or has lived in Canada for 12 months immediately preceding the
application for a licence.
Non-resident: A person who is not a Saskatchewan or Canadian resident.
Canadian Armed Forces Veteran: A veteran is a Saskatchewan resident or Canadian
resident who is a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces, has successfully
undergone basic training and has been honourably discharged. For further
information on eligibility requirements, please visit saskatchewan.ca/hunting.
Reminder to hunters
Please check with authorities prior to importing wildlife to your
home province or state. Other jurisdictions may have additional
requirements or restrictions for importing game animals taken in
Saskatchewan.
Firearm Safety/Hunter Education Training

It is unlawful to apply for a licence without recognized training.
People born after January 1, 1971, must hold a certificate from a recognized firearm
safety/hunter education course in order to apply for and hold a Saskatchewan game
or fur licence. All first-time purchasers of hunting or trapping licences will be asked to
confirm that they hold a firearm safety/hunter education certificate. You may be
asked to provide proof of training in audit checks.
Contact the Saskatchewan Association for Firearm Education (SAFE) to check your
status or obtain documentation of successful completion at 306-352-6730 or
saskhuntered.ca.
If you have received training outside of Canada or the United States, contact SAFE or a
ministry office to confirm the training is recognized in Saskatchewan.
Licence issuers
A list of licence issuers by community can be found at
saskatchewanhal.ca.

Notice of hunter inspections

Conservation officers check for compliance with hunting regulations
throughout the province and at border crossings during hunting seasons.
Hunting or trapping violations may result in a fine and/or the loss of hunting
privileges.
Youth Hunting Requirements

A Saskatchewan resident youth game bird licence and a Saskatchewan resident
youth white-tailed deer licence are available to youth 12 to 18 years of age. Youth
wishing to hunt waterfowl must also purchase a federal migratory game bird permit,
except during Waterfowler Heritage Days.
While hunting, youth aged 12 to 15 must be under the direct supervision of an adult
who is at least 18 years of age. Subject to federal firearms legislation, youth aged 16
to 17 may hunt unsupervised.
Note: Firearm safety/hunter education training differs from the Canadian Firearms
Safety Course. The federally sponsored Canadian Firearms Safety Course allows
successful students to apply for a Possession and Acquisition Licence, which
authorizes a person to possess or purchase a rifle or shotgun and purchase
ammunition. The Canadian Firearms Safety Course does not authorize a person to
purchase a Saskatchewan hunting or trapping licence.
Federal firearms legislation states:
· any person who does not hold a federal Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL)
or federal Minors' Permit must be under the supervision of someone who holds a
PAL; and
· a youth hunter 16 years of age or older can hunt without supervision if that
individual possesses a federal Minors' Permit.
Youth aged 12 to 15 must have a parent or guardian complete the consent portion
of the Saskatchewan hunting licence. Each subsequent licence will require
completion of the consent section.
A free Saskatchewan resident youth fur licence is also available with the purchase of
a Wildlife Habitat Licence. First-time trappers must successfully complete a
recognized humane trapper education course or pass an equivalency test from the
Ministry of Environment.
Please confirm your mailing address

If you are ordering your hunting licence by phone or online and require seals by
mail, please order at least two weeks in advance. Leaving on your trip without
your pre-ordered licence and seals may result in a delay in obtaining
replacement seals. In order to receive program information and notifications, be
sure to:
Ÿ check the accuracy of the email address on your HAL account;
Ÿ make sure you are subscribed for notifications; and
Ÿ ensure notifications are not filtered to your email account's junk/spam folder.

Wild Boar
Wild boar is an invasive species in Saskatchewan. Current control efforts
include the Feral Wild Boar Program where residents can report sightings for
investigation and removal by calling 1-888-935-0000 or 1-833-PIGSPOT. Wild
boar may be hunted by Saskatchewan residents without a licence but is not
recommended as a control method. During a big game season, a person can
hunt wild boar (without a valid big game licence) as long as they are not
accompanying a licensed big game hunter. Hunters are reminded to always
obtain permission on private lands before pursuing wild boar.

The Agreement on International Humane

Trapping Standards
Canada is a signatory to the Agreement on International Humane Trapping
Standards (AIHTS). This agreement states that only certified traps, where listed, can
legally be used for trapping furbearers. In accordance with AIHTS, Saskatchewan
regulations state it is unlawful to use or set a body-gripping (killing) trap that is not
a certified trap for the applicable species. Trappers are allowed to use existing traps
if a certified device for that species has not been identified. Following the
agreement, restraining (foot-hold) traps can be used on land for the restraint and
live-capture of a fur animal if the trap has been certified or modified to improve
humaneness or is set in a manner that will kill the animal with reasonable dispatch.
Visit saskatchewan.ca/hunting for more information on modifying conventional
steel-jawed foot-hold traps.
The current listing of certified traps and humane trapping information is available at
the Fur Institute of Canada website at fur.ca, by phone at 613-231-7099, or by email
at [email protected].
Trapper Education
First-time trappers must take a trapper Saskatchewan Trappers Association
education course or pass an equivalency exam Email: [email protected]
before they can obtain a fur licence. Take the Website: saskatchewantrappers.com
trapper education exam by making an
appointment at a field office with front counter Northern Saskatchewan
service or by calling the ministry inquiry line at Trappers Association
1 (800) 567-4224. Phone: 306-635-9225
The Saskatchewan Trappers Association (STA)

and Northern Saskatchewan Trappers
Association Co-operative (NSTAC) offer
recognized trapping education courses. For
information, please contact:
Neck Snares
The Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards does not
currently address neck snares. In Saskatchewan, neck snares may only be
used with a special permit subject to provincial regulations and policy.
Check with your nearest conservation officer for more details.
