New Brunswick No-Antlers Deer Draw Applications Start July 18th

The New Brunswick government says anyone wishing to apply for the 2016 antlerless deer hunt can do so from July 18 to August 19. 

Resource Development Minister Rick Doucet says the number of permits for the 2016 season will be down slightly from last year. Province-wide, 1,800 permits will be allowed, down 450 from 2,250 in 2015. The decrease occurs primarily in central and southern New Brunswick.

Doucet says New Brunswickers can apply for the draw through the Department of Energy and Resource Development’s e-licensing system. Applicants can use their Outdoors Card number to complete their application online, at Service New Brunswick centres and at registered vendors. A list of registered vendors is available online.
