Licences and Licensing Information

Small Game Hunting

Licences are not required to hunt small mammals such as rabbits and gray squirrels.

These species may be hunted on any day. Hunting is permitted from one-half hour before sunrise until one-half hour after sunset. Hunters are subject to closures and restrictions, and to all general safety regulations, including vehicle regulations.

Fox and red squirrel are examples of furbearing animals which may be taken only in season and under a trapping licence.

There are no restrictions on the type of firearms used while hunting small game. Hunters should check with the municipalities regarding firearm discharge restrictions.
