The polar bear hunting for beneficiaries this year was different compared to last year.
Todd Broomfield is the Director for Renewable Resources for the Nunatsiavut Government.
He says last year, they had harvested 7 of 12 licenses, and that was due to a part of the early break-up and the poor ice conditions.
This year was a different year where we had a more traditional winter with good ice conditions and filled all of the licenses.
Broomfield adds that the migratory bird hunting season is now open, and recommends that our beneficiaries refrain from harvesting migratory birds after May 29th, 2022.
