Possession of Wildlife

Licenced hunters are entitled to possess all the meat and wildlife parts they legally harvest. Resident, non-resident and non-resident alien hunters must keep their tags and licence as proof of legal possession until all meat is consumed. Resident, non-resident and non-resident alien may not sell their meat without a permit or commercial tag. General Hunting Licence (GHL) holders may buy, sell, barter or gift game meat to another person who is eligible to hold a GHL. Any other sale of meat by a GHL holder requires a permit or commercial tag. All hunters can sell, trade or gift the inedible parts of wildlife that they have lawfully harvested under the authority of a licence.

Hunters may give away game meat but must provide a receipt stating their name and licence number, the date of the transaction, the species of game the meat came from and the weight of the meat. A person who does not hold a GHL may not receive more than 10 kgs of meat from a GHL holder over a 60-day period.

The provisions of the land claim agreement govern the exchange of meat and wildlife parts by land claim beneficiaries.
