                                 Be an ethical hunter

Help ensure future hunting opportunities
To continue our hunting traditions for future generations, we should all be
aware of the importance of good hunter ethics. Responsible hunters will always
conduct themselves in a manner that consistently demonstrates respect for the
hunting tradition, other outdoor enthusiasts, landowners and the general
public, as well as all wildlife resources and the environment.
Since most hunting in Saskatchewan takes place on private land, hunting
activity is visible to many people, including other hunters, landowners and the
non-hunting public. Public perception of hunting is often determined and
influenced by hunter behaviour. Continued access to land depends on the
actions of all hunters. Ethical hunting practices include:
Respect for the landowner
·   Always obtain permission prior to hunting on private land, even if the land
    is not posted.
·   Abide by the landowners' requests while on their property and follow all
    posted instructions.
·   Minimize vehicle use on all lands.
·   Refrain from travelling on roads when they are prone to damage.
·   Always thank landowners for the privilege to hunt on their land.
Respect for the resource
·   Properly identify game and follow all wildlife regulations.
·   Do your part by participating in hunter harvest and game observation
    surveys.
·   Ensure your firearm is properly sighted in and always strive for humane
    dispatch of your game.
·   Follow the principles of fair chase and report any illegal activities.
Respect for others
·   Practice safe firearm handling at all times.
·   Use discretion in transporting game animals from
    your hunting area to your home.                      Saskatchewan Hunting,
·   Respect all viewpoints of hunting.

Landowner permission is now required before placing trail cameras or stands
on private land. Other changes for 2018 include allowing hunters to use tree
stands or blinds on wildlife lands provided they are removed at the end of the
day, and to use vehicles off roads and trails with landowner permission in order
to place bait, stands or trail cameras within Regina/Moose Jaw and Saskatoon
wildlife management zones (WMZs), provided there is no firearm in the
vehicle.
Chronic Wasting Disease
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance will continue for the 2018 hunting
season. CWD has been detected in approximately 50 per cent of the farmland
wildlife management zones. The disease has been found in mule deer, white-
tailed deer, elk and moose. Animals infected with CWD may appear healthy
and show no signs of disease. It is recommended that hunters have their
harvested cervids tested, and not consume or distribute the meat from known
infected animals. Hunters are encouraged to submit samples for testing, free of
charge, prior to consuming harvested animals. Hunters can submit samples for
CWD testing from an animal and still have a mount prepared by a taxidermist.
For more information on how to prepare a sample for submission, and to obtain
a unique CWD surveillance tracking number, visit cwdsk.ca.
Changes to Allowed Firearms for Big Game Hunting
Recent amendments now allow most common centre fire rifle cartridges to be
used to hunt big game. This regulation recognizes that advances in cartridge
design have justified allowing smaller calibre firearms for hunting big game
species. However, the ministry recommends that cartridges larger than .23
calibre continue to be used for game species such as moose, elk and black bear.
See page 11 for details.
Barren Ground Caribou
The barren-ground caribou season will be closed in 2018 in response to
population declines across northern Canada. The ministry, along with the
Beverly and Qamanirjuaq Caribou Management Board, will be monitoring the
status of caribou herds and the factors contributing to caribou population
decline over the next several years, and recommend management actions to aid
in recovery of the herds and return to traditional caribou range.

Hunting Opportunities for 2018
White-tailed Deer Opportunities
White-tailed deer populations are stable or slightly increasing across the
province, and in some areas are nearing the long-term average. For the most
part, the season structure for 2018 will be similar to last year. Season dates in
city WMZs (Saskatoon, Regina/Moose Jaw and Prince Albert) for either-sex
white-tailed deer are being lengthened as a response to increased deer numbers
and an antlerless season is available in these three WMZs. Antlerless
opportunities are now offered in WMZ 7 west, 14 west and 55 as a quota
limited regular hunting season. See page 29 for details on obtaining this licence.
The Canadian resident season is unchanged from 2017.
Moose Opportunities
Forest moose populations continue to decline with several zones 30 to 50 per
cent below the long-term average. In response to this population decline, the
ministry has adjusted the regular licence season length for all hunters as a
means to reduce harvest and protect moose. The draw season for forest zones
remain the same; however, quotas have been reduced.
Farmland moose populations remain at or above long-term objectives in some
WMZs. Quotas remain similar to 2017 with select WMZs seeing slight
reductions. Season dates in southern farmland zones have been changed to
reduce conflict with active farming operations. The either-sex draw moose
season will be delayed until mid-October and the antlerless season will start at
the beginning of November in WMZs 1 to 5, 8 to 29, 31, 32 and Regina/Moose
Jaw WMZ. Season dates for other farmland zones are unchanged. Refer to page
19 for additional draw season information.
Elk Opportunities
Interest in elk hunting remains very high, while elk populations are generally at
or slightly above population objectives. The number of draw elk licences was
increased significantly throughout farmland WMZs in 2017 and quotas in these
zones will be similar in 2018. Efforts to reduce elk numbers in the Moose
Mountain area continue with liberal quotas for both either-sex and antlerless
animals. Interested hunters, please note the season dates for this area have
been revised. Regular season elk opportunities are unchanged.
Mule Deer Opportunities
Provincially, mule deer populations have recovered. New either-sex mule deer
hunting opportunities are being introduced in WMZs 37 and 48, bringing the
total to 60 zones. Antlerless mule deer seasons are now offered in 50 zones
with this year's addition of WMZ 27. Quotas for both either-sex and antlerless
animals have been increased in many WMZs to manage population growth.
Regular archery mule deer licences will be offered in all the same zones as
2017, with the addition of WMZs 2W, 3, 7E, 7W, 12, 14E, 14W, 15, 28, 29E, 30,
39, 40, 42E, 42W, 43, 50 and 52.

    Pronghorn Antelope
    Pronghorn populations continue to expand throughout much of their range as
    winter weather conditions were favourable in 2017-18. Wildlife managers are
    proposing increased hunting opportunities with new quotas in three combined
    zones. The season structure has been expanded with designated archery,
    muzzleloader and rifle seasons in place for this fall. As in past years, the draw for
    pronghorn antelope will be conducted in July after the population surveys have
    been concluded. Draw results will be released as soon as possible with email
    notifications and website updates.
    Game Birds
    Most waterfowl populations remain at or above target levels. However, dry
    conditions over much of the province may reduce spring recruitment. Normal
    precipitation throughout the spring and summer will be critical for good
    reproductive success. Season dates and bag limits have not changed.
    Upland bird populations vary across the province with the southwest WMZs
    providing the best opportunity for sharp-tailed grouse and gray partridge. Forest
    grouse populations are at a low point in their natural cycle. Seasons and bag limits
    remain unchanged.

Respect Private Land
85 per cent of southern Saskatchewan is privately-owned
or controlled lands.
Please ask for permission to access private land, even if it is not posted. Always follow the
landowner’s wishes regarding vehicle access and minimize any damage to trails or roads
caused by your vehicle.

Signs which read Hunt on Foot Only, Vehicles Restricted to Roads and Trails Only, Please
Close this Gate and Occupied Building within 500 Metres are available free of charge to
landowners from ministry offices.

If you see a hunting violation, call the toll-free number or submit a report online
24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Residency Information
A Saskatchewan resident is a:
· Canadian resident whose principal residence is in Saskatchewan, who has
  been living in the province for three months prior to applying for a licence
  and possesses a valid Saskatchewan Health Services card (including RCMP
  members);
· member of the regular force of the Canadian Armed Forces who is stationed
  and residing in the province or who was a Saskatchewan resident when
  recruited or deployed from the province.
Saskatchewan residency confirmation is based on the possession of a valid
Health Services Card (HSC). All Saskatchewan residents including RCMP
members must ensure their name is entered exactly as it appears on their valid
HSC when creating a HAL account. HSC numbers are not recorded. Members of
the Canadian Armed Forces can use their regimental numbers when
establishing their HAL account.
Note: Saskatchewan residents must advise the Ministry of Health
(1-800-667-7551) if their mailing address changes in order to keep their HSC
account current and to avoid issues with residency confirmation.
A Canadian resident is a:
· person whose principal residence is in Canada, and who is a Canadian citizen
  or has resided in Canada for 12 months immediately before his/her
  application for a licence.
A non-resident is a:
· person other than a Canadian or Saskatchewan resident.

Firearm Safety/Hunter Education Training
People born after January 1, 1971 must hold a certificate from a recognized
firearm safety/hunter education course in order to hold or apply for a
Saskatchewan game or fur licence. Conservation officers may ask individuals to
present proof of training. It is unlawful to apply for a licence without
recognized training. All first-time purchasers of hunting or trapping licences will
be asked to confirm that they hold a firearm safety/hunter education certificate.
You can contact the Saskatchewan Association for Firearm Education (SAFE) to
check your status or to obtain documentation of successful completion at
306-352-6730 or visit saskhuntered.ca).
If you have received your training outside of Canada or the United States,
contact SAFE or a ministry office to confirm the training is recognized in
Saskatchewan.

Youth hunters (under 18 years of age)
· While hunting, youth aged 12 to 15 inclusive, 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 allows the holder to purchase ammunition. The Canadian Firearms
  Safety Course does not authorize a person to purchase a Saskatchewan
  hunting or trapping licence.
  Note: Federal firearm legislation requires that:
  >   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.
  >   if a youth hunter possesses a Federal Minors' Permit, they can hunt
      without supervision provided they are 16 years of age or older.
· 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 youth game licence includes both an either-sex white-tailed deer licence
  and a game bird licence. Youth wishing to hunt waterfowl must purchase a
  federal migratory game bird permit, except during Waterfowler Heritage Days
  (see below).
· A free youth fur licence is also available with the youth game licence or as a
  stand-alone licence with the purchase of a Wildlife Habitat Certificate. First-
  time trappers must successfully complete a recognized humane trapper
  education course or pass an equivalency test available from Ministry of
  Environment offices.

Waterfowl Heritage Days
(September 1 to 3 and October 6 to 8, 2018)
Waterfowler Heritage Days allow youth under 18 years of age to hunt waterfowl
during these dates without a federal migratory bird permit, while under the
supervision of an adult hunter. The youth hunter must be a Saskatchewan
resident and must have graduated from a firearm safety/hunter education
course and possess a provincial game bird licence (available as part of the
youth game licence). The supervising hunter must be an adult, be fully
licensed, and is not allowed to carry a firearm. Up to two youth hunters can be
supervised at one time.

Volunteer Opportunities
Co-operative Wildlife Management Survey
The Co-operative Wildlife Management Survey (CWMS) is a long-standing,
volunteer-based survey of game populations, specifically mule deer, white-tailed
deer, moose, elk and select upland game birds. Participants can now use their
smartphone (mobile app available at Google Play or the Apple store) to record
their observations or use the traditional paper-based survey form.
Participating in this volunteer-based survey is an excellent opportunity to take an
active and valued role in wildlife management. More observers are needed; for
information, contact the Ministry of Environment at 1-800-567-4224.

2018 Hunter Harvest Survey
Hunter harvest surveys are an important component of managing game in
Saskatchewan and provide valuable information for quota and season setting for
the upcoming year. There are three ways to complete your hunter harvest
survey(s): through your HAL account, by visiting a Ministry of Environment
office, or by calling 1-888-773-8450.
As an added incentive, for every survey a hunter completes, they will be entered
in a draw for one of several prizes.

Wildlife Research
The ministry, in co-operation with its partners at the University of Saskatchewan,
is currently researching the seasonal activities of mule deer, caribou and white-
tailed deer. A number of animals have been fitted with radio collars in order to
track their movements. We ask that hunters refrain from shooting these animals
and to report all sightings to your nearest Ministry of Environment office.

Banded Waterfowl
Hunters who shoot banded waterfowl should report the band number and
harvest information by calling toll free: 1-800-327-BAND (2263), or at
reportband.gov or email: BBO_cws@ec.gc.ca.

Fish and Wildlife Development Fund
The Fish and Wildlife Development Fund (FWDF) was initiated in 1970 with
funding provided by 30 per cent of the revenue generated from the sale of
hunting, angling and trapping licences, including big game draw application fees.
The main objectives of the terrestrial/wildlife component of the FWDF are to
secure and protect quality wildlife habitat, to support research and data collection
that will enhance the capacity to manage wildlife and its habitats, and to promote
public awareness of our wildlife resources. Through partnerships with Ducks
Unlimited Canada, Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Saskatchewan Wildlife
Federation, there were 1,300 hectares (3,211 acres) of land purchased and 256
hectares (633 acres) protected through conservation easements in the last year.
