THE hunting season officially opens on October 1 and runs till February 28, with the sale of State Game Licences (SGL) beginning on September 22, at a cost of $100 per game species. Hunters will be limited to three licences each.

A release from the Agriculture, Land and Fisheries Ministry urged hunters to become familiar with the Conservation of Wild Life Act chapter 67:01.

The act says SGL permits the hunting of the game species specified on hunters’ respective licence on state lands and forest reserves.
