FREDERICTON (GNB) – Anyone wishing to apply for the 2021 antlerless deer draw can do so from July 26 to Aug. 20.

The number of permits for this season has increased from last year. Provincewide, 6,050 will be allowed, an increase of 1,650 from the 4,400 permits that were available in 2020.

“Hunting is a family tradition for many New Brunswickers,” said Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland. “I wish all New Brunswick hunters a safe and successful hunting season, and best of luck to everyone who enters the draw.”

New Brunswickers can apply for the draw through the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development’s e-licensing system. Applicants can use their Outdoors Card number to complete their application online, at Service New Brunswick centres or at authorized vendors.
