Hunting Program

• Hunting is only permitted for lease holders and their guests from September 1ˢᵗ to December 31ˢᵗ (inclusive). The lease holder's have exclusive hunt privileges on a three-year term basis.
• Once this 3-year term expires, current lease holders are given first right of refusal, followed by adjacent property owners. Once this process has been exhausted, we turn to our waitlist.
• If you would like to be added to our waitlist, please email your full name, phone number, and email address to info@quinteconservation.ca.

• You will be sharing public lands with other hunters, as well as hikers.
• A firearm must never be discharged unless the user is positive of the target and the surroundings make it safe to do so.
• Hunting is not permitted at any conservation area and is strictly monitored.

• Be aware of hunting season in the area. Quinte Conservation recommends you wear high visibility attire on your head and chest for the safety of all property users.
• Please see the Outdoor Spaces page for maintained Conservation Areas where hunting is not permitted.

Quinte Conservation leases parcels exclusively (for a fee) between 18 Calendar Days before the Resident Open Season for the use of Rifles & Shotguns, to 15 Calendar Days thereafter (inclusive).

Five of these parcels are available for anyone to use outside of the lease period for hunting any regulated game species in the regulated season, as determined by Provincial and/or Federal regulations. A permit to use these parcels is not required. 

These properties are also used by hikers and other hunters and a firearm must never be fired unless the user is positive of the target and the surroundings make it safe to do so.
