In response to changes to the moose population within WMZ 15, an either-sex draw season for moose has been implemented for the 2022 hunting season. The quota is for 20 either-sex moose in this zone is similar to quotas in adjacent WMZs (i.e. WMZ 1 (10); WMZ 31 (10); WMZ 16 (20); WMZ 18 (10)). Mandatory harvest reporting will help assess the impact of this change.Hon. Dana Skoropad – Minister of Environment
