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.

Permits and regulations

To hunt or fish in Northern Québec, you have to comply with the Act Respecting Hunting and Fishing Rights in the Baie-James and New Québec Territories.
