Take a minute to watch....it is very interesting. We have met and spoke with Chris Parish, he is very passionate in conservation.

The population of endangered birds suffers lead poisoning from ammunition used to fell game, which this bird of prey scavenges; scientists are now appealing to hunters to protect the species' future.

When you sign up for your HAL(Hunting and Angling Licence) as a new hunter in Saskatchewan, we recommend using your Hunter Safety Certificate number as a secondary identifier to their HAL account in the 'other' box. This will help compliance and show proof of you graduating our course which is mandatory for anyone born after January 1, 1971. You still need to carry your Hunter Safety card with you at all times when purchasing tags and out in the field. Also, all first time hunters regardless of age should take the Hunter Safety Course for the purpose of safe and responsible hunting when out in the field.

If you have taken your Hunter Safety/CFSC in Saskatchewan and have lost your hunter safety ID cards; we may be able to help you retrieve your information. We have a data base that holds records that go back to the 1970's for Hunter Safety Certification. If your information is in our system we reissue the Certificate to the student with a replacement fee. Some students took their course between 1994-2003 which usually includes the CFSC and some CRFSC information. They would be able to apply for their PAL if this information is in our database, but only if it was during those years. Please email or call the office for more information.

Just a reminder to anyone looking for a copy of their Hunter Safety you can contact us via email @ safee@sasktel.net or call our office @ 306-352-6730. Also to anyone who took their Canadian Fi****ms Safety course between 1994-2003, we may also have a copy of those records that you may be able to apply for your PAL, and in some cases, your RPAL with. Prior to signing up for a Federal Fi****ms course, it may be in your best interest to contact our office to check if you already took the Canadian Fi****ms Course. It could save you some time and money.

Important Notice:

As you know, Big Game Seals have a notch for the year to mark the year they are valid in. One of the earliest run had the highest year notch going up to 2020. Almost all the Seals from that range have been used, but there might still be some in circulation.

Since some of the Hunting seasons go till 2021, the seals dated up until 2020 are not suitable for use. Therefore, Seal numbers between S000001 thru S0500000 have been withdrawn.

Any Seal number between this range that has not already been issued can no longer be used. If you have any Big Game Seals that fall within this range, please destroy those securely. Please DO NOT call Helpdesk to activate them.

07/09/2020

We are happy to announce our Hunter Safety courses and testing restrictions have been lifted. Please contact us either by phone @ 306-352-6730 or email safee@sasktel.net.
Thank you for your patience and understanding through this trying time.
