Hunting Tag and Licence Fees by Province
Each province and territory sets its own hunting licence, tag and seal fees, and this page lists the fees each one publishes, by species and residency. Pick a province below. Each price is a link, straight to the government page it came from.
The prices here are exactly what each government publishes. We haven't added tax. We haven't totalled anything either, since provinces don't agree on what a listed price includes, so each section quotes that province's own rule. Want just the basic licence, side by side? That's in hunting licence cost by province.

Not published: Tax: neither the Hunting Licences page nor the 2026-27 Hunters Guide fee table says whether GST is included or extra. (A separate provincial trappers' guide states its fur licence prices include GST; that statement is not about hunting licences and is not applied here.) The same fee figures appear in the 2026-27 Hunters Guide ('Licensing fees and requirements'); items quote the web page table, where several rows share the text 'Saskatchewan Resident' under different species headings, so the product field names the heading. Veteran licences (Saskatchewan and Canadian resident veterans) are listed as Free for the habitat certificate, game birds, white-tailed deer, elk, moose, mule deer archery, wolf and black bear; they are not itemised because the schema has no veteran class.

Not published: Moose: no licence price. The 2026 summary states the province 'will not be holding a draw for moose licences in 2026' (Cape Breton population low). Wild turkey: no open season or licence; wild turkey appears only in the regulations' definition of game birds. Antlerless deer draw application fee: the summary says 'you must apply and pay a fee' but gives no amount; the HuntNS site is a JavaScript application that could not be read.
Prince Edward Island fees
Tax: The 2026 Hunting Summary states "The above fees do not include HST"; the License and Permit Fees Regulations head the schedule "Fee – HST Not Included"; the Wildlife Conservation Fund Regulations give each fee "(HST not included)"; the 2025 Trapping Summary marks trapping fees "*(+HST)".

Not published: No big game: PEI has no deer, moose or bear hunting season, so there are no big game licences or tags to price. This is correct, not a gap. No wild turkey licence: PEI has no turkey season. Pheasant: listed as 'No open season' in the 2026 summary, so no pheasant licence.
Newfoundland and Labrador fees
Tax: The fee page states: "Prices do not include HST." and "Licences sold through vendor outlets and/or Government Service Centres are subject to an additional $3.00 fee at the time of purchase." It also states "Licence fees for seniors apply to those aged 65 and older."

Not published: yukon.ca returned HTTP 403 to scripted fetches; both Yukon pages were read in a browser. The licence page shows 'Date modified: 2026-04-14' and states 'Licences are valid from April 1 to March 31'. Non-resident seal prices and non-resident trophy fees: the licence page lists one set of seal prices with no residency breakdown. Wolf and coyote: no seal is required ('except for wolf and coyote'), so no per-animal price exists on the page; they are covered by the big game licence.

Not published: Tax: neither the 2026-27 summary nor the 2022 fee schedule says whether GST applies. Quotes from the summary PDF are its table-row text as extracted from the PDF (Harvester, Tag Fee, Harvest Fee, then bag limit/season/area fragments); multi-line cells extract in pieces, so some quotes contain partial bag-limit or area text. The summary URL serves the PDF directly. The 2022 fee schedule URL also serves a PDF ('Updated June 2022').
Waterfowl need a federal permit too
Ducks, geese and other migratory game birds are federal. Their permit sits on top of any provincial licence. Environment and Climate Change Canada lists the Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit at $17.00 plus applicable taxes. The $8.50 habitat conservation stamp is part of that price. The youth permit is free.
What the fee tables include and leave out
- A tag is often not the whole cost. Many provinces require a base licence or card first. If a government says so, the row's note quotes it.
- Draw-only means paying twice. Some tags are sold only through a draw. That draw has its own application fee, which gets its own row.
- Surcharges are separate. British Columbia and Nunavut print the surcharge in a column of its own. We do the same.
- Prices change every licence year. Every section names the year its prices are for, so check the linked page before buying.
Questions about hunting tag fees
What does it cost to hunt wild turkey in Ontario?
Ontario lists a resident wild turkey tag at $26.33 for spring, and the same for fall, plus 13% HST. That isn't the whole bill. Ontario's fee page says a tag is required in addition to a small game licence ($22.76 for one year) and an Outdoors Card ($8.57, valid for three calendar years). Both of those are plus HST too.
How much is a bear tag in Ontario?
Ontario lists a resident black bear licence and tag together at $43.86, plus 13% HST, with no draw. A second bear tag costs the same, but it's sold only in some Wildlife Management Units. An Outdoors Card is also required.
Do these prices include tax?
It depends on the province. That's why each section on this page quotes the government's own statement about tax. Quebec publishes prices with tax included. New Brunswick, Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island publish them before tax. On the pages we read, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut don't say either way.
Is the migratory bird permit included?
No. Ducks and geese need a separate federal Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit, on top of whatever the province requires. Environment and Climate Change Canada lists it at $17.00 plus applicable taxes. That price includes the $8.50 Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp. The youth permit is free.
