FREDERICTON (GNB) – Anyone wishing to apply for the 2020 antlerless deer hunt can do so from July 27 to Aug. 21.
The number of permits for this season has increased from last year. Provincewide, 4,400 permits will be allowed, up 800 from the 3,600 available in 2019. The increase occurs primarily in central and southern New Brunswick.
“Hunting is a tradition for many New Brunswickers,” said Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland. “Here’s to a safe and successful season and best of luck in the draw.”
New Brunswickers can apply for the draw through the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development 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.
The results will be available Sept. 8.
