Three hundred and forty six antlerless mule deer licenses will be available for purchase beginning September 6, 2011. The licenses were originally made available through the Big Game Draw but were not allocated due to lack of applicants.
The remaining licenses are in nine wildlife management zones including 3, 7, 8, 12, 45W, 46, 47, 49, and Saskatoon Wildlife Management Zone. The licenses are $19.62 each and are only available to Saskatchewan residents by calling 1-306-798-4000 beginning at 8 a.m. on September 6, 2011. Callers will have to supply their Health Services Card number or Habitat Certificate number, as well as a full mailing address and birth date for each license purchased. There is a limit of one licence per person and four licenses per telephone call. In-person orders will not be accepted. License purchase will be by credit card only.
Hunters who already hold an antlerless mule deer license issued through the Big Game Draw may purchase a second antlerless mule deer license. The licenses are valid during the draw antlerless mule deer season and hunters may use those firearms that the season allows including archery, muzzleloader or rifle. The bag limit is two deer for each license.
Hunters are encouraged to turn in deer heads to local ministry field offices for Chronic Wasting Disease testing. There is no charge for the test.
