The new private moose registration stations are in Neguac, Saint-Paul, Tay Creek, McAdam, Saint- Léonard and Edmundston. Moose can also be registered at 17 department offices throughout the province. Time is of the essence to get moose to a butcher shop after they are shot for safety reasons and it's hoped the new stations will cut the wait time.
A change in the moose hunting rules is also making it possible for a previously chosen hunter to be issued a moose licence in the event of the death of the primary licence holder before moose season. The change will come into effect in time for this fall's hunt.
