Hunters are not allowed to hunt during the time that they are prohibited from hunting which is from July 16th until the 1st day of January in any new year; so hunters would be required to wait until January 2nd before being able to hunt again in 2017 and 2018 for example. The Big Game Hunting Season in New Brunswick is normally from the first week of January to the last week of February (depending on weather conditions) so always check the dates of the big game season with a province website.
The small game bag limits are as follows:
During Elk Season, a Hunter may take one elk with up to four deer or one mule deer. With either tag, no more than two elk or four deer may be taken in any season. During Black Bear Season, Hunters may take two black bears with any tag and no more than two black bears may be taken during any campaign. During Mule Deer Season, a Hunter may take one mule deer with any tag. With either tag, no more than two mule deer may be taken in any season.
In New Brunswick, the laws of the province state that you can only hunt big game during the closed season, elk (Mammoth) Season, bear season and deer season.

Any kind of hunting during these closed seasons is illegal unless it is for food for human consumption or for a great business purpose like a zoo or breeding establishment. It is also illegal to hunt during the time that hunting is prohibited.
