The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation has received numerous inquiries regarding the Provincial Government’s recent announcement of the 2025 Additional Antlerless Elk Hunt in Wildlife Management Zones (WMZs) 1–55.
We would like to clarify that the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation WAS NOT consulted by the Ministry of Environment prior to this decision. While we recognize the importance of addressing elk-related concerns in agricultural areas, we believe that a more targeted and controlled approach would have been more effective in mitigating the challenges faced by farmers and ranchers.
The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation remains committed to supporting sustainable wildlife management practices and ensuring that stakeholder voices are included in future decisions.
For further information contact the Ministry of Environment directly at 1-800-567-4224, email them at centre.inquiry@gov.sk.ca or wildlifefeedback@gov.sk.ca.
