Pronghorn Opportunities

Pronghorn populations have shown strong population growth across their range but may be affected by the harsh 2020-21 winter weather conditions. Wildlife managers are proposing to maintain current hunting opportunities in 2021, with either-sex quotas in all eight pronghorn management units – WMZs 1-15, 18, 19 and 23-27. Surveys planned for July will help determine whether quotas will be adjusted this year.

Applications for the pronghorn draw must be submitted during the big game draw in May. However, the pronghorn draw will not be conducted until July. Please check the listed WMZ combinations to ensure you are applying for your preferred hunting areas. Draw results will be released immediately after the draw is completed and an email notice will be sent out. The status of the pronghorn draw will also be posted on our website.

Moose Opportunities

Moose populations in the forest continue to decline. Moose hunting opportunities in all forest WMZs will be bulls-only until populations recover. The draw season for bulls-only in WMZs 56-69 is standardized with a quota of 25 in each WMZ. The ministry is taking steps to better understand forest moose

populations with a moose survey planned for WMZs 56 and 57 in early 2022, which will help inform population trends. A moose research project is also planned for fall 2021 in the east-central part of the province, where cow moose will be radio-collared. This will allow wildlife managers to determine cause-specific mortality of cow moose and help inform management direction.

Moose populations in the boreal forest transition zone appear to be stable. There are some localized areas in the parkland and grassland where moose numbers have declined.

Mule Deer Opportunities

Mule deer populations are doing well across Saskatchewan, although chronic wasting disease continues to be a significant concern for population health. Survey data suggests mule deer populations are increasing in the parkland and boreal transition regions of the province. As a result, these regions will have increased hunting opportunities, including higher either-sex and antlerless mule deer quotas.

The ministry has reviewed the allocation structure of antlerless mule deer licences across Saskatchewan. For the majority of the province, the current big game draw system is functioning as intended, with higher numbers of applicants than available antlerless mule deer draw

quota. However, in those WMZs where available antlerless mule deer draw quota have outweighed hunter demand in the past two years (WMZs 3, 7E, 7W, 8, 11, 12, 14W), a quota-limited antlerless mule deer licence will be available on a first-come, first-served basis through HAL. Additional details will be provided in the 2021 Hunters and Trappers Guide.

Elk Opportunities

Recent mild winters have benefited elk population growth in various regions of the province. Increased elk quotas and late antlerless seasons remain available within a number of WMZs for the 2021 hunting season. In addition to a new draw opportunity in the Regina-Moose Jaw WMZ, quota increases for either-sex elk in WMZs 5, 6 and 41, and antlerless elk in WMZs 5, 41 and 48 will be offered. To reach elk objectives in WMZ 33 (including Moose Mountain Provincial Park), the two-bag limit opportunity will continue for draw antlerless elk hunters. Regular elk season dates will remain unchanged from last year.

2021 Saskatchewan Resident Big Game Draw Checklist

3

Use this checklist to avoid common mistakes and ensure your application is submitted successfully. Applications submitted improperly can result in your application being rejected from the draw or have an undesirable result. Avoid disappointment and take time to read the information carefully.

Detailed information on the draw is available online in the Saskatchewan Resident Big Game Draw Overview.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply early and review your applications for accuracy prior to the May 25, 2021 deadline. You can review and edit your application details and status in your HAL account at any time.

Make sure you are eligible to apply

· All members on your application must meet residency and age requirements, comply with firearm safety/hunter education regulations and not be suspended from hunting in Saskatchewan. If any member of your application is found to be ineligible, the application will be rejected from the draw.

· Each person may submit only one application for each species or species type. If a person is found to have submitted more than one application for the same species type, each of the applications will be rejected from the draw. The exception is mule deer, as either-sex mule deer and antlerless mule deer are considered separate species types for the big game draw. Youth hunters may submit a youth draw application and an antlerless mule deer application.

· Any applications containing false information will be rejected from the draw. Providing false information is an offence under The Wildlife Regulations.

Obtain group member information

· If applying as a group, the HAL number and date of birth for each group member must be included on the application.

· Group members with valid email addresses on their HAL accounts will receive notification emails.

Confirm your pool status

Purchase your awarded licence

· If drawn, purchase your licence through your HAL account beginning August 1, 2021.
