ONTARIO — The deer and moose hunting season have been extended to control population, deer-vehicle collisions and crop damage.

Bancroft and Peterborough districts (covering most of east-central Ontario) have changed their seven-day late November archery-only deer season into a seven-day muzzleloader and archery season starting the first Monday after November 28.

The Kemptville district (covering most of eastern Ontario) is extending the one-week rifle, shotgun, archery and muzzleloader deer season, starting the first Monday in November, to two consecutive weeks.
