Seven hundred Big Game Management Licences are available to people who would
like to hunt anterless mule deer and white-tailed deer in the Saskatoon
Wildlife Management Zone. The offer is part of a plan to reduce and more
effectively manage the deer population in the Saskatoon area.
Anterless deer are does or fawns born in the spring of 2005. The licences cost
$20 each and will be valid in the Saskatoon Wildlife Management Zone from
December 5th to December 17th, which is after the regular deer season for the
area. Hunters may purchase a maximum of two licences each. Each hunter also
needs an $11 Wildlife Habitat Certificate. All regular season laws and
regulations apply, including only being able to use a bow and arrows, a
muzzleloader or a shotgun while hunting in the Saskatoon Wildlife Management
Zone. Rifles are prohibited due to the high human population in the area.
The licences are available at the Saskatchewan Environment office in
Saskatoon. Landowners are being asked to help hunters reduce the number of
deer in the area by allowing hunters access to their land.
The heads of all animals taken in the Saskatoon region while using a Big Game
Management Licence must be turned in for testing for Chronic Wasting Disease.
Hunters may also turn in the heads of white-tailed deer and mule deer they
take at any Saskatchewan Environment office for testing for CWD. There is no
charge for the test.
