Know your WMU

The province of Ontario is subdivided into 95 wildlife management units (WMUs). Some WMUs are split into sub-units. Each WMU has customized hunting regulations for:

  • game you can hunt
  • open season dates
  • permitted methods of hunting

It’s your responsibility to:

  • know which WMU you are hunting in
  • know and follow the hunting regulations for that WMU
