Information for
Non-Residents
Wishing to Hunt Moose (From Hunting
Regulations 2004-2005)
A non-resident who wishes to hunt moose in Ontario must have valid
hunting accreditation and be a registered guest and actually
accommodated at a tourist establishment. The outfitter must apply for
and receive, on the non-resident’s behalf, a validation tag to hunt
moose (see exceptions below). A non-resident’s licence to hunt moose is
only valid if it has a bull, cow or calf validation tag affixed to it.
The non-resident can only hunt moose of the age and sex specified on the
validation tag. A non-resident may hunt in a party for moose when
hunting in a Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) that is specified on the
validation tag and that has a non-resident season. The party hunting
must be carried out in accordance with the definition of party hunting.
Changes to this definition take effect in 2004 – please see page 37 for
more information.
Please note that WMUs 46-63 and 65 do not have a moose season for
non-residents.
Exceptions to requirement to hunt through an outfitter:
• Non-residents may hunt with an immediate relative who is an Ontario
resident licensed to hunt moose in a WMU that has an open season for
non-residents. Immediate relative when used in reference to a person,
means that person’s grandparent, parent, spouse (or same-sex partner),
child, sibling or grandchild. If you qualify under this exception, you
may apply in the resident moose draw for an adult validation tag. You
must purchase a moose licence and submit your
application, along with your affidavit verifying your relationship to
your immediate relative, to the MNR office that has responsibility for
the WMU in which you wish to hunt (see MNR offices and WMU listings,
pages 95 and 96). Please note that the moose draw deadline is May 31,
2004.
• Non-residents who are owners of
land in a WMU that has an open season for
non-residents and wish to hunt in that unit, may apply for a calf
validation tag from the MNR office responsible for the WMU.
(Non-resident landowners are not eligible to apply in the resident moose
draw for an adult validation tag.) Non-residents who qualify under this
exception and wish to apply for a calf validation tag must purchase a
moose licence and prior to the hunt, submit their application along with
proof of property ownership to the District MNR office responsible for
the WMU.
• Please note: Non-resident moose hunters may hunt moose
in WMUs 7B, 9B, 11A, 11B, 12B, 13 and 14 only by hunting through a
tourist outfitter or by hunting with an immediate relative (as defined
above), who is an Ontario resident licensed to hunt moose. Non-resident
landowners
are not eligible to moose hunt in these units. |
