About LEH authorizations

An LEH authorization permits a person to hunt a specific species, or a specific class of species (i.e. antlerless) in a specific area during a specific time. This authorization does not exempt a holder of an LEH authorization from any other law related to hunting. For example, a holder of an LEH authorization must comply with all regulations related to areas where motor vehicles are prohibited or restricted, areas where firearms are prohibited or restricted, bag limits, compulsory inspection, licensing, etc. It is the responsibility of an individual to be informed of the current hunting regulations. Information on these regulations can be found in the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis.

Before, during and after your hunt

Before your hunt

• Buy your hunting and species licences (if required)
• Review all important information for successful applicants

During your hunt

• Carry all of your species licences for the current year, cancelled and uncancelled
• Carry photo ID (hunters under the age of 16 are exempt from this requirement)
• Carry or know your Fish and Wildlife ID (FWID) 
• Shared Hunts only: carry the Harvest Report form found on your LEH authorization

These must be presented upon request by a conservation officer or other authorized official.

After your hunt

If you harvest a species that requires Compulsory Inspection, during the inspection you must:

• Present your cancelled species licence and photo ID
• Indicate whether the animal was harvested under an LEH authorization

Important information for successful applicants

Specific Hunt Area/Zone Notices

Hunters are reminded of the existing Motor Vehicle Closed Areas designed to accommodate the effects of significant wildfires in Regions 3, 4, and 8. Several of the original closures have been either modified or rescinded as a result of wildfire recovery. More information can be found at Motor Vehicle Prohibitions.
