FREDERICTON (GNB) – New Brunswick hunters may apply until June 9 for a chance to have their name drawn for the 2023 moose hunt.

“Moose hunting is a fall tradition in New Brunswick, something hunters in the province look forward to every year,” said Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland. “The 2023 draw will see the highest number of available moose licences since 1995.
