There will be a lot more hunters hoping to bag a moose this year.
Applications are now being accepted for the 2022 draw.
5107 licenses will be handed out, that’s the highest since 1995.
“The number of licences issued annually depends on two primary factors: the size of the moose population and the success rate of our hunters,” said Holland. “The department carefully monitors both the population and harvest trends to help ensure long-term, sustainable management of the species for all New Brunswickers.”
Applications must be in by June 10th.
Applications for a moose licence may be made by:
- visiting the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development website, through the Fish and Wildlife Licensing system. The application fee will be billed to the applicant’s Visa, MasterCard or debit account;
- going in person to an authorized vendor; or
- going in person to a Service New Brunswick location.
The cost of applying for a moose licence is $9.55 (HST included). Applications close at 11:59 p.m. on June 10. The results will be available July 4.
The season will run from September 20 to 24th.
