The official regulations have the final word

These dates come from rows a person checked against the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development's regulations, but bag limits, licences, draws, legal hours and closures are set there and can change during the season. Read them before you hunt.

HuntGrid isn't affiliated with the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development. A season shows here only once a person has checked it; others may exist.
