Advisories

Quotas for some Moose Management Areas (MMAs) may change pending aerial census work being carried out during the winter of 2021. Changes will be announced through a Departmental News Release prior to the big game licence draw. News releases are available online at www.releases.gov.nl.ca

Over 75 percent of meat spoilage cases that are reported occur as a result of improper handling or field care by the hunter. A replacement licence will only be issued if an animal is found to be unfit for consumption because of disease or previous injury and the entire carcass has been submitted for disposal. Contact your nearest FFA office for more information.
