Quebec wildlife officers plan deer-hunting enforcement blitz November 7–9

Quebec wildlife protection officers will step up their presence during white-tailed deer season from November 7 to 9, the provincial government announced Thursday.

The operation, called “Blitz Cerf 2026,” will take place in several regions. Officers will focus on compliance with hunting rules, poaching prevention and public education.

Hunters remain responsible for checking the rules that apply in the zone where they plan to hunt, including the permitted dates and equipment. The province’s release links to the current white-tailed deer rules and zone information.

Anyone who witnesses a suspected wildlife offence can contact SOS Braconnage – Urgence faune sauvage at 1-800-463-2191 or use the province’s online reporting service.
