Hunting Outside Ontario
More Information
If you plan to travel outside Ontario to hunt members of the deer family (i.e., deer, moose, caribou or elk), you are advised to check with state or provincial wildlife authorities in the area before travelling, to determine if there are import/export and disease testing requirements for harvested animals and their parts or products.
In addition, hunters hunting outside Ontario in areas where CWD is found should inquire about the practices for handling meat recommended by the jurisdiction in which they will be hunting.
Be aware that some states and provinces may have restrictions on transporting members of the deer family (deer, moose, caribou or elk) in or out of the jurisdiction even if Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has not been detected in that area.
Please participate in the 2011 CWD testing program if you harvest deer in these Peterborough and Bancroft area WMUs: 57, 60, 61, 74A, 74B and 75.
