Are Hunting Licenses Required for Non-Residents in Saskatchewan?

April 5, 2026

Quick Answer

Non-resident hunters in Saskatchewan require a non-resident hunting license, which must be purchased in conjunction with a big game animal permit. This license allows non-residents to hunt big game species such as white-tailed deer, moose, and elk. The license fee varies depending on the type of hunt and the species being targeted.

Types of Licenses and Permits

Non-residents can purchase a non-resident hunting license for a 10-day period, which is the minimum required to hunt big game species in Saskatchewan. The license fee for a 10-day period is $101.65 for an adult. Hunters can also purchase a 7-day or 14-day license for $81.65 and $131.65 respectively. In addition to the license, non-residents must also obtain a big game animal permit, which costs $101.65 for a white-tailed deer and $201.65 for a moose.

Required Documents and Information

Before applying for a non-resident hunting license, hunters must provide proof of identity and residency. They must also provide a completed application form, which can be obtained from the Saskatchewan Environment and Resources website or at a Service Saskatchewan location. Hunters must also provide information about their hunting experience and the type of hunt they will be participating in. This information will be used to determine the type of license and permit required.

Bag Limits and Hunting Seasons

The bag limit for white-tailed deer in Saskatchewan is two deer per hunter per season. The hunting season for white-tailed deer typically runs from the Saturday before September 15 to the last Saturday in November. For moose, the bag limit is one animal per hunter per season, and the hunting season typically runs from the Saturday before October 15 to the last Saturday in November. Hunters should check the Saskatchewan Environment and Resources website for specific information about hunting seasons and bag limits.
