2011 BIG GAME DRAW IS OPEN UNTIL MAY 31

The Big Game Draw for 2011 will remain open until May 31 for both Saskatchewan hunters and Canadian resident white-tailed deer hunters.

All Canadian resident hunters interested in pursuing white-tailed deer in Saskatchewan this fall will be required to apply for a licence online. Hunters will be asked to select one wildlife management zone to which their hunting activities will be restricted. There will be no priority pool system or minimum quotas for this year; therefore in 2011 all hunters will be selected.

Hunters are reminded to tell their Canadian friends and family coming to Saskatchewan to hunt white-tailed deer this fall, that they need to apply for a licence online.
