REGINA — Hunters, the countdown is on. Starting May 1, Saskatchewan residents can apply for the 2025 Big Game Draw for limited opportunities to hunt mule deer, elk, moose and pronghorn across the province.
Applications must be submitted online through the Hunting, Angling and Trapping Licence (HAL) system by 4 p.m. on May 29.
Saskatchewan Environment offers tips to make the application process as smooth as possible:
- Log into your HAL account early.
- Use the online residency verification tool.
- Visit to review the 2025 Big Game Draw Supplement for quotas and other key information.
Draw results will be posted in mid-June with pronghorn results available in mid-July. While email notices will be sent, it's still up to each hunter to check their own results through their HAL account.
If drawn, licences will be available to purchase starting Aug. 1 through the HAL system.
