Be really nice if they would put it up somewhere, not on there website. I would live nothing more than to buy a .243 or .308 for everything from varmint to moose. But need tk know the particulars to decide what I'm looking at. Thanks

It was shared on social media, but without a news release from the Department, there's probably not much to put up anywhere.
 
Web page has been changed. Still haven't seen the regs.

Hunters must use one of the following:

A centre-fire or rim-fire rifle of any calibre
A shotgun with ball, slug or shot
A bow having a draw weight of not less than 10 kilograms (22 pounds)
A crossbow having a draw weight of not less than 68 kilograms (150 pounds)
A muzzle-loading firearm

Exceptions:

A youth hunter aged 16 or 17 years of age may not use a centre-fire or rim-fire rifle of .23 calibre or larger, or a shotgun with ball, slug, lead shot larger than BB or steel shot larger than F, unless that person is accompanied by an adult at all times.
A rim-fire firearm may not be used to hunt bear, deer, or moose.

Good information to have as the changes will be reflected in the new Hunt and Trap booklet when published . This has been a long time coming , and will certainly make things easier for N.B. hunters and recreation shooters . To bad they didn't legalize Sunday shooting year around , but I guess we can't win them all .
