Limited-entry hunting regulation updates have been made by the Province, which includes the Cariboo region.
The changes will manage wildlife, respect First Nations’ hunting rights and give diversity of recreational and economic opportunities to hunters.
The Province said the recent changes would affect the hunting of moose, caribou elk, bighorn sheep, thinhorn sheep, mountain goats, white-tailed deer and mule deer.
For the Cariboo, the changes include the Oct 1-14 bull moose limited-entry hunting regulation in parts of the Chilcotin, increase hunting opportunity for white-tailed deer in the Cariboo, and closed antlerless mule deer limited-entry hunting in parts of the Cariboo.
The Province, First Nations and affected stakeholders will continue to work together to develop an approach to wildlife co-management to improve shared understanding and stewardship of wildlife.
Hunting regulations are reviewed every two years by the Province and are amended when necessary.
