A hunting destination
In our
fairy tales,
legendary
beasts
inhabit
the forest!
Hunting enthusiasts are spoiled for
choice in Québec: caribou, deer, moose,
bear, small game and waterfowl fill the
woods, and, further north, the tundra.
In the forest, you can take on a giant:
the black bear. Perhaps you prefer still
hunting? White tailed deer, moose and
caribou are wonderful challenges!
And waterfowl had better watch out
when lovers of this tasty game are on
the prowl. Birds such as the ruffed grouse
and the spruce grouse have long been
a special treat for Québec families,
as are the snow goose and the hare.

hunting
(5)
white-tailed deer
Anticosti Island is the only
place in North America where
the deer can be hunted on
a beach.
snow goose
moose
They can stay underwater
for nearly a minute to feed.
During rutting, combat
between rivals generally
results in no injuries.
Breeding in the Arctic
islands in summer, the
snow goose stops along the
St. Lawrence in the fall and
spring to feed. Hundreds of
thousands of birds can be
found on the river’s banks
during these periods.
caribou
black bear
Looking for the spine-tingling
excitement the black bear
can bring? Remember: this
beast is an excellent climber,
swimmer and runner.
The crown of antlers sported
by young males starts to grow
during their first fall. The male
is polygamous and takes on
rivals in a ritual that involves
a clash of antlers.

hunting
white-tailed deer
This magnificent ungulate is hunted
on the continent, but is particularly
popular on Anticosti Island. If
the white-tailed deer, or Virginia
deer, is your preferred game,
this incredible island territory is
for you. A jewel of nature in the
heart of the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
this outstandingly beautiful fossilbearing site is home to spectacular
falls, cliffs, canyons and caves.
Huge numbers of white-tailed deer
gambol about, and you are their
sole predator. Good hunting is
virtually guaranteed!

caribou
The nomadic caribou prefers
the Great North for its annual
migration. Just take a two-hour
flight from Montréal to find yourself
in another world. The caribou
occupies a vast realm made up of
the regions of Nunavik, Baie-James
and Eeyou Istchee. The Rivière aux
Feuilles herd has close to 400,000
head according to recent counts.
The caribou, which has a finely
honed sense of smell and excellent
eyesight, is an exciting challenge
for hunters.

moose
Would you like to see moose stroll
nonchalantly by your blind? Some
hunting zones are the perfect spot
for this noble beast to put in an
appearance. Basically solitary, the
moose frequents clearings, bays
with submerged vegetation,
marshes and swamps. It is hunted
in the fall, and to attract it, hunters
imitate the call of the female, an
art in and of itself.

black bear
black bear
The imposing black bear is
partial to berries… and pretty
much anything else it can sink its
teeth into. In spite of its cuddly
appearance, it is a formidable
adversary! Black bear is hunted
largely in the spring, and, in
certain areas, in the fall. Hunting
mainly takes place from a tower.
The secret is to keep your eyes
peeled! According to estimates,
Québec’s black bear population
is in excellent shape.

waterfowl and small game
hunting
In the forests, the ruffed grouse struts
brazenly along the roads, swallowing
gravel to grind its food. The snow goose
is hunted both spring and fall on its
migratory stops along the banks of
the St. Lawrence. As for the hare,
it is easier to spot before the first snow
as its coat is starting to turn white.

fishing
A fishing destination
The size
of the
catch grows
with each
telling
of the
fishing trip.
Fishing fans wait impatiently for
spring to head into the woods and
the wash of the rivers, or to troll
on the freshly calés (thawed) lakes,
doing a bit of fishing for powerful
salmonids or formidable flesh eaters.
To try your hand at ice fishing while
waiting for summer, take a trip
to Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, in
Mauricie. This is where the famous
winter cod, or Atlantic tomcod, can be
found, a one-of-a-kind seasonal treat.
What’s more, 2013 marks the village’s
75th anniversary of this unique style
of fishing!

(7)
Faire les close cut des photos
achetées
walleye
Perfectly delicious in fish
and chips! The walleye is
more common than the
sauger, adapting more easily
to its habitat, and is preferred
by fishing enthusiasts.
northern pike
bass
Its French name “achigan”
comes from Algonquin,
a North American Aboriginal
language, and means
“the one that struggles.”
There are largemouth
and smallmouth bass.
The extremely voracious
northern pike has close to
700 teeth. An opportunistic
carnivore, it can even feed
on muskrats and ducklings.
lake trout
arctic char
The absence of marbling
on its back distinguishes
it from the speckled trout.
Young individuals can
remain in fresh water for
up to seven years before
swimming to the sea.
When the prudent but
voracious lake trout is
captured, it often ends up
mounted on the wall. This
inhabitant of the deep lakes
of Southern Québec is also
found in the shallow rivers
and lakes of the north.
salmon
speckled trout
The adults migrate,
sometimes many
kilometres, to reach their
spawning beds. Fly fishing
is the approach that yields
the most satisfaction.
The Atlantic salmon and
landlocked salmon are
the same species, but
the landlocked salmon
remains in lakes, while the
Atlantic salmon migrates
to the ocean.

fishing
predatory fish
walleye
The walleye is a catch much prized by
sport fishers in Québec, who are fans
of its flavour. It is often found in sizable
bodies of water and large rivers, also
home to the pike. It feeds primarily on
fish and dabbles in cannibalism if need
be. The walleye is attracted to anything
that moves at the bottom of the water.

northern pike
The pike is highly combative; it can jump at the surface
when hooked. Generally 50 to 70 cm (20 to 28 in.) in
length, some pike can reach one metre (3 ft.) upon
maturity. In Québec, its nickname is the “freshwater
shark” because its prey can be a third or even half its
own size, and it can live for over 20 years. Some people
say that this remarkable fish is prehistoric.

bass
Quick to attack the right lures, the
smallmouth bass and the largemouth
bass are generally caught and released
for sport. Native to North America,
this carnivore is related to the perch.
Fishers often notice that when the trout
isn’t biting in rivers, the bass takes over
as the waters warm up!

arctic char
The Arctic char is an aggressive
attacker. An elite athlete and delicious
to boot, in Québec it is found almost
exclusively in the north. On its quest
for sustenance, it can migrate toward
the ocean in the summer or from
one habitat to another in a given lake,
creating variations in its colouring.
Its fertility seems to increase
proportionally with its size.

lake trout
In the southern part of Québec,
the lake trout responds well to the
fly, but after the summer solstice,
it dives into the depths, where a
number of techniques can be used
to bait it, in particular a core line
with a string of weights. It has a
delicate flavour and is especially
tasty filleted.

speckled trout
The speckled trout, or brook trout,
is a combative fish that makes its
home pretty much throughout
the province, frequenting streams,
rivers and cold-water lakes.
It even has an annual festival
dedicated to it in the Mauricie,
a region that is home to an
impressive number of speckled
trout. Its size and appearance vary
slightly according to its habitat,
and it is a good environmental
indicator because it thrives only
in fresh, oxygenated water.

salmon promises a memorable
fight. It is fished in the rivers
of the Bas-Saint-Laurent, the
Gaspésie region, Nunavik

Anticosti Island. In Southern
Québec, salmon is fished only
with artificial flies. Catch and

impressive Cabonga and Baskatong
reservoirs, where pike, grey and
rainbow trout, brook trout and bass
abound. And since black bear, deer,
moose and small game also share

information
hunting and fishing
zones
with and without
exclusive rights
transport and export
of fish and game
— In Québec, hunting and fishing
is allowed on public land with the
appropriate permits. National parks,
wildlife refuges, and controlled harvesting
zones (ZECs) are all accessible under
certain conditions. For detailed
information on hunting and fishing main
rules (e.g., zone boundaries), contact the
Québec Natural Resources and Wildlife
Department at www.mrnf.gouv.qc.ca/
english/wildlife/hunting-fishing-trapping
or call 1 866 248-6936.
EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS
— Individuals who have in their
possession, other than in their place
of permanent residence, fish caught
while sport fishing, must keep such fish
in a condition making it possible to
determine the species (enough skin
left in place for identification), length
(where length limits apply), and number.
Non-residents may leave Québec with a
quantity of fish equal to the possession
limit for each species.
permits and quotas
— Hunting and fishing quotas are
established on a species by species basis,
and governed by wildlife management
plans. Hunters and anglers must purchase
fishing and hunting licenses. Non-residents
wishing to fish or hunt north of the 52nd
parallel or east of the St. Augustin river
(Zone 19 south), as well as those hunting
black bear and woodcock south of the 52nd
parallel (except in wildlife sanctuaries and
controlled harvesting zones (ZECs), must
use the services of an outfitter.
Non-residents do not have to produce a
hunter’s certificate to purchase a hunting
license. Although they may use a gun, rifle,
crossbow or bow to hunt game, they must
use the gear authorized for each species
and zone. They must also comply with
Canadian gun legislation.
For information on fishing and hunting
rules and restrictions in Québec, visit
www.mrnf.gouv.qc.ca/english
or call 1 866 248-6936 or 418 627-8600.
Only customers of the outfitter operating
on the leased territory are permitted to
hunt, fish, or trap on that territory.
NON-EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS
All hunters and anglers are allowed into
the territory, even if an outfitter offers
accommodations and services on that
territory.
salmon fishing
For details on salmon fishing, contact
the Québec Outfitters Federation
and the Québec Atlantic Salmon River
Management Federation, which offers
a wealth of information on salmon rivers
to suit a variety of tastes and a broad
range of budgets.

gun legislation, arms
and ammunition
— Non-residents entering Canada
with firearms and without a Canadian
firearms license must complete a
non-resident Firearm declaration
and pay a fee at the point of entry. The
Canadian Firearm Centre now offers
pre-processing of declarations, which
helps save time at the border. And don’t
forget to declare all your firearms!
Please visit the CFC Web site for forms
and information at www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca,
or call 1 800 731-4000 (Canada and
U.S.A. only), and visit the www.cbsa.gc.ca
for information on transportation of arms
and ammunition.
Any hunter who has killed a deer,
moose, caribou or black bear must
immediately detach the appropriate
transportation tag from his or her
license and affix it to the animal. The tag
must remain attached throughout the
registration process and until the animal
has been dressed and stored. Where a
moose has been bagged by a hunting
party, the hunter who killed the animal
must ensure that the transportation tag
of any other hunter participating in the
hunt is also affixed to the animal on
the same day it is killed.
Anyone wishing to export black-bear
trophies, or any part of these animals,
must obtain a CITES (Convention on
International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) export
permit. Residents of the United States
may export a black bear trophy
consisting of the hide, hide with paws
and claws attached, skull, or meat
(excluding all organs) from Canada to
the U.S. only on the condition that the
animal is in a fresh, salted or frozen
state, the result of their own hunting
activity, and transported as personal
accompanied baggage (not shipped).
For a CITES export permit, visit
www.cites.ec.gc.ca.

As of January 23, 2007, a new American
law, the Western Hemisphere Travel
Initiative (WHTI), requires anyone,
including U.S. citizens, entering or
re-entering the United States by air to
have a passport or a NEXUS card when
used at a NEXUS kiosk at designated
airports. As of June 1, 2009, anyone,
including U.S. citizens, entering or
re-entering the United States by land
or sea must have a passport or other
appropriate, secure document.
At this point, only requirements for
travel by air to the United States have
changed. Americans can continue to
use documents such as their birth
certificates and government-issued
photo identification (e.g. driver’s license)
to cross the Canada-U.S. border by
land or sea until the WHTI is fully
implemented. For more information,
look under useful. Tips on our Web site:
QuebecOriginal.com.
D.W.I.
– Travelers admissible to Canada
must not have a criminal record; this
includes any convictions for driving while
intoxicated. A waiver of exclusion may be
obtained from a Canadian consulate in
the United States, but several weeks are
required. There is a processing fee for
the waiver. If you have questions about
your eligibility to enter Canada, contact
your nearest Canadian embassy
or Consulate or visit www.international.

Québec outfitters
– Non-residents are advised to use
the services of an outfitter. Founded in
1948 and recognized by the government
of Québec, the Québec Outfitters
Federation is an association of some
400 establishments. Its solid reputation
is based on its code of ethics and the
quality of service provided by its
members. Their packages generally
include transportation, accommodations,
meals, equipment and guide services.
Each outfitting camp operates within
a specific fishing and hunting zone.
For more information on the outfitters:

code of ethics and basic
principles
– Professional ethics are the basic
principles of moral conduct and
obligations that QOF member outfitters
must follow when dealing with society
in general, as well as their clients,
employees, and colleagues. They also
include outfitters’ duties to the profession.
Each outfitter that becomes a member of
the QOF must respect the Federation’s
Code of Ethics and basic principles. To
learn more about QOF’s Code of Ethics,
visit www.quebecoutfitters.com.
trip cancellation
– Whether you are dealing with an
outfitter or an intermediary, make sure to
inquire about cancellation policies and
refunds on deposits or full payments.
These conditions should appear in the
outfitter’s brochure or website.
insurance
– Most agencies offer trip-cancellation,
medical, and baggage insurance. For
information on such policies, please
contact the fishing or hunting agency
of your choice.
If the trip has not been completely paid
for before your departure and you do
not intend to settle the bill with cash, it is
recommended that you verify whether
the outfitter accepts personal checks,
traveler’s checks or the credit card you
plan to use.
baggage
– Before departure, you should always
check the weight limit on baggage with
your airline carrier as well as the fees and
policies related to bringing back meat
and antlers.

weather conditions
tourist information
– While every effort is made to comply
with published timetables, irregularities
in flight operations may occur in some

conditions can also affect the schedule
of activities at the outfitter’s camp. There
is no refund for adjustments to activities
resulting from such irregularities.

and hunting outfitters

suppliers, outfitters cannot be held
responsible if suppliers fail to provide the
services described. In addition to the

responsible for any damage, loss, delay,
illness, injury or inconvenience arising
