October 3, 2017Read more... — Please be aware that the printed map included in the 2017-18 Yukon Hunting Regulations Summary does not include six parcels of Category A Settlement Lands. The Department of Environment regrets the error and is working to correct the map online and provide updated maps at Environment offices and directly to hunters via email. Please note that all other maps developed and distributed by the Department of Environment – including those within the hunting regulations summary from previous years, and the Administrative Boundary Atlas – are correct. Remember the annual regulations summaries are not legal documents. It is the responsibility of all hunters to know their legal responsibilities and obey the laws.
September 15, 2017Read more... — Moose hunting is closed, effective September 15, 2017, in Game Management Subzones 4-44, 4-45 and 4-46 near Faro.
