Holders of resident, non-resident and non-resident alien hunting licences are prohibited from hunting in any Territorial Park, Wildlife Sanctuary or Preserve, National Park, or Park Reserve. These protected areas are shaded dark grey on the Wildlife Management Unit Maps.
The NWT is divided into six wildlife management units represented by the letters D, G, I, R, S and U.
 |
Within the wildlife management units, species management areas for certain animals are represented by a two-letter code and two-digit number:
- PB polar bear
- GB grizzly bear
- WB wood bison
- BC barren-ground caribou
- MX muskox
- WF wolf
- WV wolverine
Maps of the hunting areas for different species in the wildlife management units are also illustrated.
Examples of how to interpret the coding of the different hunting area names:
D hunting is allowed in all of unit D for the specific animal
I/MX/01-04 muskox hunting is allowed in areas 01, 02, 03 and 04 of unit I
G/OT/01 outfitter hunting is allowed in area 01 in unit G
