1. Use of crossbows by certified hunters is legal for hunting all
species that may be harvested with a bow or firearm, except
during the Special Open Season for Bowhunting Deer.
2. Deer Management Zones 102, 105, and 107 are open to
either antlered or antlerless deer. Antlerless Deer Hunting
Stamps are, therefore, not required in those Zones .
3. Bonus Antlerless Deer Hunting Stamps to be used in Deer
Management Zone 102 will be available at select licenced
vendors and DNR offices for a fee of $5.00 plus HST.
4. The Department of Natural Resources has extended the validity
of the Wildlife Resources Card. If your card expiry date is
between December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2012, you are
not required to renew your card until at least December 2012.
5. The use of .410 slugs and buckshot are now legal to hunt
big game. For other changes related to weapons and
ammunition please see page 87.
6. Deer Management Zone boundaries have been changed to
be more reflective of eco-regions and better accommodate
hunting where opportunities exist. This has resulted in 12 Deer
Management Zones. To avoid confusion with old boundaries,
the zone names have been changed to three digit numbers.
Please see Zone descriptions on page 62 for further information.
7. The bag limit for bear snaring has been increased
from one to two.
8. Bear bait sites no longer have to be registered with the
Department of Natural Resources
9. A new moose hunting opportunity will be offered this fall
in the form of a transition hunt. This hunt will be held in
Zone 5 (Pollets Cove Aspy Fault Wilderness Area). This is
a non motorized hunt which is expected to be physically
demanding. For more information see page 80.

Furharvesting
1. For the most up to date list of approved body gripping
traps please check the Department of Natural Resources
Fur Harvesting Regulations website at
www.gov.ns.ca/just/regulations/regs/wifurhrv.htm or
contact your local DNR office.
2. A pelt incentive of $20 will be paid to Furharvesters for
coyote pelts which are exported for sale. See page 29
for more information
3. A voluntary collection of coyote carcasses from
furharvesters is requested.
4. All otter pelts must be stamped before export and the
carcasses turned into your local DNR office.
Migratory Bird Hunting Regulations
1. An early September Canada goose season has been
introduced in Nova Scotia (all zones). This season is
restricted to farmland (land which is being used for crop
production or animal husbandry). Hunters should check
the regulations for more details.
2. Bag and possesion limits for Scoters has been reduced to
four birds in the daily bag and eight birds in possesion.
3. Additional seasons for ducks have been amalgamated into
one “additional season� with consistent season dates by zone.
