The deadline is nearing for this season's Big Game Draws. 

Hunters interested in submitting applications for this year's draws must submit them by June 1st. 

The deadline usually falls on May 31st but because the 31st is a Sunday it has been extended.  There are two ways of applying.  First is an online application process and second is the traditional paper application.  This will be the final year of paper applications as next year the only way to apply will be on the Saskatchewan Environment website.

There are also changes to this year's Draw program.  There will be no draw for either-sex mule deer in several zones.  That includes zones 10 thru 14, 24, 26, 29, 45 and 46 among others.

For more information visit or to apply for the draws visit the Ministry of Environment's website at http://www.environment.gov.sk.ca .
