Tagging
Any hunter who has killed a black bear must immediately detach the appropriate transportation tag from his or her license and affix it to the animal. The tag must remain attached throughout the registration process and until the animal has been dressed and stored.
Exporting Black Bear
As black bears are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), a CITES permit is not required for a Canadian or American resident who is exporting, in his or her personal accompanied baggage, a fresh, frozen or salted black bear carcass (or parts thereof) acquired and possessed through legal hunting. If the bear or its parts are mounted, processed or otherwise preserved by a person other than the hunter who killed the animal, then a CITES permit is required.
Hunting License
To hunt, a person must hold and carry an appropriate hunting licence. A hunting licence is personal. The issuer and the licence holder must sign every hunting licence. Dumoine Lake Cottages pricing does not include hunting licenses.
To obtain a hunting licence for resident, Quebec residents must hold a valid hunter’s certificate bearing the code corresponding to the hunting weapon they intend to use. To obtain a non-resident’s hunting licence, a person must be a non-resident and be at least 12 years of age. Non-residents must use at least two of the services provided by an outfitter, including lodging.
Bow hunting is permitted in Quebec subject to the same regulations as hunting with a firearm. Hunting licences are available from agents who sell licences: they generally include sporting goods, hardware or convenience stores. Licences expire at the end of the hunting season for the animal for which they were issued or when the transportation tag has been removed
