Hunting in Quebec

[M16LR.50]

Hi guys,
I am considering purchasing some land in quebec (relatively close to ontario) but have been wondering a few things related to hunting:
- What is required to hunt in Quebec? Do I have to get another outdoors card and appropriate tags for the specie (deer, moose & upland bird)?
- How does one deal with hunting in quebec, and then transporting the carcass back to ontario?
- Are there ammunition restrictions for hunting big game ?

Thanks.

If you are a non resident you will have to buy a non resident licence. After that there are regulations you have to follow just like any other province. I went to Anticosti island a few years ago. Absolutely no issues. They quartered the deer for me, packed them in boxes and put them on the plane. Didn't need an export permit. Just go here for more information.

Just be ready to pay for your non resident tags, they're usually quite expensive

That's putting it mildly. They have upped the fees for non-residents over the last few years. Typical government thinking: I'm not selling enough, so I better increase the price. Opposite of supply/demand. Here's the list - make sure you are sitting down: http://www.mddelcc.gouv.qc.ca/faune/chasse/tarif-permis-en.htm

Holy crap!
Is one considered a resident if they have property in quebec? Say, a cottage/getaway home?

M16, if you ever do decide to hunt in Quebec and are looking for a partner let me know, I'm looking for someone to go with.

I would say no. I think it's 60-90 days living there to be considered a resident. It probably has the definition of resident in the hunting regs.

"Resident: a person domiciled in Québec who has lived there at least 183 days during the year preceding fishing activity or an application for a licence."

No. A resident means your primary residence is in Quebec. As a resident you would have to apply for a Quebec hunting license, prove you are a resident with a provincial ID of some type (drivers license, health card, etc) and as a Quebec resident you would have to register all of your firearms since they have appealed the LGR elimination. As a Quebec resident you would now pay Quebec provincial income taxes.....the list goes on. The money you would save in resident hunting fees would pale in comparison to the other costs you would incur.
