If you're a hiker, camper, bird-watcher, angler or hunter, Ontario's natural resources provide a wealth of opportunities for activities of all kinds.

The elk draw is now open. This year, hunters who are successful in the draw can hunt in the Bancroft area for two weeks instead of one.
The antlerless deer draw and moose draw are also open.
As part of the modernized hunting and fishing licensing system, you can now apply for the big game draws online. Hunters can also apply by telephone or by picking up and dropping off an application at select ServiceOntario centres. Applications by mail will not be accepted.
