The general public is reminded that it is an offence under the Forestry & Wildlife Act for persons to engage in any form of hunting or fishing during the closed season and as such are liable to a fine of two thousand five hundred dollars (XCD 2,500) per offence.
Also, the sale and possible limited export of wildlife or parts thereof is prohibited as of December 31, 2022. Exportation will not be granted to persons until the next Hunting Season is officially reopened.
