Ontario resident hunting in Quebec?

[yngpress]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't find a thread using the search function. As of official websites, little information as well..

I'm a Ontario resident with family and friends who own property in Quebec, including large acreage in isolated parts. If it's relevant, I will be in the Pontiac /

Im interested in going hunting this upcoming season in La Belle Province, problem is I can't find very accurate information. What do I need to hunt in quebec other then my fire arms license ? How do I aquire it? Any other notes I need to know?

Thank you

Did you check what they have on http://mffp.gouv.qc.ca/english/publications/online/wildlife/hunting-regulations/index.asp?

Specifically, the hunting licensing regulations are at http://mffp.gouv.qc.ca/english/publications/online/wildlife/hunting-regulations/licences-certificate/questions.asp

To obtain a hunting licence for non-residents, the applicant must be a non-resident and at least 12 years of age

This is the only info for non residents I see. This is very limiting. So I can walk into canadian tire to buy my license or so I require a prior hunting course in Ontario ?

I used to buy a QC license every year as we hunted both sides of the border for waterfowl for years. All you need is your Ont License as proof you are a licensed hunter.

All you need to do go to any License seller IE:Canadian tire in old Hull Quebec now Gatineau, most sporting goods stores sell Quebec hunting and fishing permits. deer non resident about $290 small game is about $85, non residents can not hunt Bear unless with a outfiter

what about moose hunting? Do they have a draw system?

 

[the spank]

They have differing systems depending where you hunt. In the Zecs you are assigned an area within the Zec and if memory serves you were allocated a tag? But its been a long while since friends I knew hunted there explained it to me so my memory is a bit dim. Some areas were over the counter tags at one time.

There is no draw if you plan on hunting public land or with an outfitter, SEPAQ draw if for Quebec resident only and it's already done so ... ZEC are different, you need to pay some fees to be a member then you can hunt on the ZEC.

I'm an Ontario resident and own a cottage in the Pontiac. (And I hunt there)

I purchased my license's at the local store in Portage Du Fort. (And my beer!!)

All you need is your Ontario Hunting License. Once you purchase your Quebec license, you'll get a "Client Card" that will fast track your future permit purchases.

Easy peasy!
