Good news for those hoping to get a chance to participate in the upcoming moose hunting season.
The number of ballots available to applicants whose names have not been drawn for 20 years or more in the random computerized draw will increase to 243 from 81.
This will increase their probability of success to 93.9 per cent.
Another change will require applicants to provide proof of proper training or previous hunting experience prior to applying.
About 60 thousand residents apply to the draw each year. There are just over 4 ,700 tags available for the 2019 moose hunting season.
Application for the resident moose draw opens on May 21 and the list of successful applicants will be made public on July 8.
