  • Bow hunting season begins August 31, 2024 in all CMAs, excluding 70 & 72 and does not include cross bows.
  • Hunters are advised against harvesting adult male caribou during the peak of the rut, generally the first three weeks of October, due to the possibility of the meat being unpalatable.
  • Non-resident caribou allocations that are a component of the overall licence quotas are not indicated in this table and will be updated as they become available.
  • * An updated hunting area map for CMA 71 will be available when licences are issued after the 2024 draw is complete. Resident hunters applying in the 2024 draw should note that 5 licences will be available in southern island portion of the Grey Islands, CMA  71 A (Bell Island).

Advisory

Quotas for some Caribou Management Areas (CMA) may change pending aerial census work being carried out during the winter
of 2023/24. Changes will be announced through a Departmental News Release prior to the big game licence draw. News releases
