Hello!

I want to hunt small game, but I am not sure of what and where I can hunt. I live in Quebec and have found these information :

http://www.mddefp.gouv.qc.ca/faune/reglementation-en/chasse/impression/index.htm

Are these exact? If yes, that would mean that there is not really anything to hunt before August, and that in December everything is finished? As a potentially new small game hunter, this is kind of a let down...

I followed your link and clicked small game....looks like most species are open from September to March of the following year....perhaps you need to re-read the regs again...
 
As a potential new hunter you need to inform yourself some more.

There are seasons for a reason...#1 is animals need to breed.

Also, during certain times of the year there is a great influx of non hunters into "the bush", read summer vacationers.

On a personnel note, hunting isn't about killing as much as you can all the time. Between spring turkey and the end of Sept is a great time to do all the other important hunting stuff like improving your shooting skills and scouting for next year.

Plant some food plots, build some bunny habitat...all part of hunting.
 
I agree with Yomomma. In the mean time you can hunt varmints to get in some practice(after paper target practice)and at the same time help out some landowners with pesky animals. If you form good contacts with farmers by helping them clear out some groundhogs etc. from their fields there's a good chance you may be welcomed later in the fall to hunt other species. Right now you should be finding contacts,lands to hunt and scouting those lands plus honing your shooting skills so when the time come you can make a clean humane shot.
