Hunters who pull the trig­ger af­ter yes­ter­day could face a stag­ger­ing $100,000 fine, as the 2025–2026 Hunt­ing Sea­son of­fi­cial­ly comes to an end.

In a re­minder to the pub­lic, the Min­istry of Agri­cul­ture and Fish­eries con­firmed that all hunt­ing ac­tiv­i­ty on pub­lic and pri­vate lands ceased yes­ter­day, Sat­ur­day, Feb­ru­ary 28, 2026, with the sea­son for­mal­ly clos­ing to­day, Sun­day, March 1.

The warn­ing comes amid con­tin­ued na­tion­al ef­forts to pro­tect wildlife pop­u­la­tions and pre­serve Trinidad and To­ba­go’s frag­ile eco­log­i­cal bal­ance. Of­fi­cials said the closed sea­son is crit­i­cal to al­low species to re­cov­er and en­sure long-term sus­tain­abil­i­ty of the coun­try’s nat­ur­al re­sources.
