Saskatchewan residents interested in hunting elk, moose, pronghorn or mule deer in the province can apply for the Big Game Draw starting Sunday.

Applications must be submitted online through the Saskatchewan Hunting, Angling and Trapping License (HAL) system by 4 p.m. on May 25. Late applications will not be accepted.

The government encourages hunters to access their HAL accounts early and use the online residency verification tool to avoid complications during the application process.

Draw results will be available through HAL accounts in June, except for pronghorn, which will be available in mid-July. Big Game Draw applicants will be notified by email about their draw results, but hunters are ultimately responsible for checking their results online.

Successful applicants will be able to purchase licences through their HAL accounts beginning August 1.
