Hunting Regulations Now Permit Crossbow and .17 Calibre Ammo

Amendments have been made to provincial Wildlife regulations that now permit the use of crossbows to hunt big game and small game species; and the use of .17 calibre HMR ammunition for hunting small game and furbearers.

The changes take effect for the 2020 big and small game hunting seasons.

More details are available in the online Hunting and Trapping Guide at the Department of Fisheries and Land Resources website.
