Hunters may choose to register their harvested big game animal online by using the Big Game Registration Portal or in person at a registration station for beardeer or moose.

Every successful hunter must have their moose, deer or bear registered, and be issued a registration permit.

The moose, deer or bear may be left at a cold storage facility or butcher for up to 15 days if a copy of the registration permit is left with the carcass.

New for 2023: When registering a deer at a private deer registration station, hunters must now make a payment of $4 + HST directly to the deer registration agent.
