HALIFAX – A ban will be lifted on the first two Sunday’s of the general deer hunting season in Nova Scotia.
The Department of Natural Resources says the change will apply to all wildlife in season on those dates except moose.
Sunday hunting will be allowed Nov. 1 and 8.
Natural Resources Minister Zach Churchill says the decision follows a public consultation process.
The department also says amendments to Wildlife Act regulations will also clarify the distance hunters need to stay back from Christmas tree and agricultural operations.
The changes will also make it easier for hunters to help farmers deal with nuisance wildlife.
