Where the numbers come from
Every season table on this site is transcribed from the current official provincial hunting guide — the same publication enforcement officers use. Each row carries its source citation (guide page or quebec.ca section), and each province page links to the official PDF so you can verify anything in one click. When a guide is reprinted mid-season, the official document always wins; treat these pages as your fast index, not a substitute.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official regulations site?
No — this is an independent reference built from the official provincial guides. Each province page links directly to the official PDF/web guide, and every rule row cites its source page. The official publication always prevails.
Which guide editions are shown?
The most recent published edition for each province at the time of extraction — mostly 2026 and 2026-27 guides (BC's synopsis runs 2026-2028, PE's 2025-26 summary is the latest published). Each province page names the exact edition.
Do you cover draw hunts and tags?
Where the guides publish tag or draw details (for example Ontario moose tags or Alberta special draws), those notes are carried verbatim in the species tables and their “good to know” callouts.
Is Quebec in French?
Quebec publishes zones and seasons in French. We keep the official French wording so nothing is lost in translation, with English species context around it.
What about the territories (YT, NWT, NU)?
Not yet — the current dataset covers the 10 provinces. Territorial guides are a candidate for a future update.
Is there an app?
Yes — the TrueNorthHunter app carries the same regulation data plus offline zone maps, a licence wallet and a harvest log. It's free for the 2026 season, and you can use it in your browser right now.
