Moose
season runs from next Thursday until Saturday--and with over 4600
licenses being given out this year, the Department of Natural Resources
has set up a number of new registration stations so that hunters can get
their moose registered quickly.
The new private moose
registration stations are in Neguac, Saint-Paul, Tay Creek,
Saint- LĂ©onard, Edmundston, and nearby McAdam. Moose can also be registered at 17
department offices throughout the province. Time is of the essence to
get moose to a butcher shop after they are shot for safety reasons and
it's hoped the new stations will cut the wait time.
A change
in the moose hunting rules is also making it possible for a previously
chosen hunter to be issued a moose license in the event of the death of
the primary license holder before moose season. The change will come
into effect in time for this fall's hunt.
