Hunting Season, Sunday Hunting Reminder

Natural Resources (to July 2018)

General deer hunting season begins today, Friday, Oct. 30, and continues to Dec. 5.

The Department of Natural Resources requires hunters to wear hunter-orange clothing in the woods and advises non-hunters to do the same.

The department has lifted the ban on Sunday hunting for the first two Sundays of general deer hunting season on Nov. 1 and Nov. 8. The change applies to hunting all wildlife in season on those dates except moose.

Hunting regulation booklets are available at all hunting-licence vendor locations and Department of Natural Resources offices. The regulations and safety advice are also available at www.novascotia.ca/natr/hunt .
