Is moose season open in New Brunswick right now?

As of October 29, 2026, no moose season is running in any of the 27 New Brunswick Wildlife Management Zones North Ground evaluates, under the rules it has certified. By unit: closed in 27. A running season is not a licence: licensing, legal hunting hours and local restrictions still apply.

How are moose seasons set in New Brunswick?

New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development sets them by Wildlife Management Zone. North Ground evaluates 27 of them. This page lists what the certified rules state for each of them.

Where do these moose season dates come from?

From Moose Hunting Regulation – Fish and Wildlife Act, N.B. Reg. 94-47, last verified by North Ground on Sep 30, 2026. The authority's own regulations are the law; confirm with them before you hunt.

Before you rely on this

What this page does not decide

  • Each status is the whole-unit answer for October 29, 2026. A season running in a unit is not a licence, and it does not tell you about restricted areas, municipal by-laws, land access or legal hours at a particular spot — Hunt checks an exact location.
  • A unit marked "Not covered here" has no certified rule for this species. That is a gap in North Ground's coverage, not a closed season.
  • This page describes sport hunting seasons. It does not describe harvesting under treaty or Aboriginal rights, which is a separate legal context North Ground does not evaluate.
