Hunting Season Reminders To Keep Everyone Safe

Nov 18, 2022 | 10:23 AM

Are you headed out hunting? Don’t forget your colours!

You must be dressed in required hunting colours if you are:
• hunting big game with a rifle;
• hunting in a designated rifle-only season; or
• accompanying a rifle hunter.

Requirements include:
• a bright yellow, scarlet red, blaze orange or white vest or jacket (an outer garment that covers the upper torso) or a high-visibility garment carrying a Canadian Standards Association label (CAN/CSA Z96); and
• a bright yellow, scarlet red or blaze orange hat or toque (white is not permitted).

It is a violation to:
Enter land without the consent of the landowner or occupant;

Shoot across or along a provincial highway, provincial road or municipal road;

Carry a loaded firearm in or on a vehicle, including horseback;

Hunt within 500 metres of a building, stockade or corral occupied by people or livestock without the consent of the owner or occupant in charge; and

Hunt wildlife 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise.

For information on season dates, bag limits and a summary of hunting regulations, download the Hunters and Trappers Guide at saskatchewan.ca/hunting.

During the hunting season, Saskatchewan’s conservation officers will be busy helping protect our province’s resources.

To keep our officers safe this hunting season, please remember:

It is illegal to carry a loaded firearm in or on your vehicle.

If a conservation officer asks you to exit your vehicle, leave your firearm behind.

Do not try to hand a firearm to an officer through an open window.

Firearm safety should always be top of mind! Always handle your firearms carefully.

Hunt smart, hunt safe!
