Submission of Mandatory Data Forms for the 2019-2020 Hunting Season

Submission of Mandatory Data Forms for the 2019-2020 Hunting Season

The public is kindly advised that in accordance with Regulations 2 (3) of the Conservation of Wild Life Regulations made under Section 24 of the Conservation of Wild Life Act, Chapter 67:01, Submission of Mandatory Data Forms for the 2019-20 Hunting Season becomes due on or before 31st May, 2020.

However, the Forestry Division is mindful that the current ‘Stay at Home Measures’ have affected its normal business operation hours. Additionally, the Ministry is aware that many hunters are reluctant to leave home solely to return the form to the Forestry Division. In this regard, given the existing restrictions, the Honorable Minister of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries has agreed to pursue an amendment to the relevant regulation to allow the Minister to extend the deadline to return the form. Before the current May 31 deadline the Forestry Division will provide a further update on this proposal.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries, thanks you for your continued support and apologizes for any inconvenience caused during this period.
