Bathurst caribou Mobile Zone is now in effect

December 4, 2020

Public Service Announcement

The Mobile Core Bathurst Caribou Management Zone (Mobile Zone) is now in effect for the 2020/21 winter season. This no-harvest zone is one of several management actions established by the GNWT and co-management partners to protect the declining Bathurst caribou herd.

It is illegal to harvest caribou within the Mobile Zone.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) actively monitors caribou and hunters in the area. If you are caught harvesting in the Mobile Zone, you may be charged under the Wildlife Act.

The location of the Mobile Zone is updated every Tuesday throughout the winter.

You can get a map of the current boundaries from:

· Gordon Lake check station
