Resident hunters in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador, can now submit applications for the 2026-27 big game licence draw which opened on March 5, 2026.

The Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture is accepting applications for moose and caribou licences until the deadline on May 1, 2026.

All eligible hunters are required to use their Wildlife Information Management System (WIMS) account to complete the application process through the online portal.

This annual draw is used by the provincial government to manage wildlife populations, with specific quotas set each year to ensure that animal numbers stay at a healthy level.

Members of the Mount Pearl community and other residents across the province rely on this lottery to secure their permits for the upcoming hunting season.
