Category III lands As is the case elsewhere in Québec, hunting and fishing activities are permitted. There is, however, one exception: you cannot trap or hunt fur-bearing animals. In addition, certain species of fish, such as coregonids, are reserved for First Nations. North of the 52nd parallel, non-residents of Québec must call on the services of an outfitter to pursue hunting or fishing activities. © Mathieu Dupuis
