“We have great offers to take advantage of the approximately 40,000 km2 of wild areas, which include Quebec’s 13 game reserves and the largest exclusive rights outfitter in the world, Sépaq Anticosti,” explains communications manager Simon Boivin. Wherever people are in Quebec, it is more beneficial than ever to share the passion and heritage of hunting. »
Personally, I have always felt that small game hunting is the best way to introduce young people to hunting. With this in mind, Sépaq has developed various packages. The day hunt is free for young people up to 17 years of age when accompanied by an authorized adult.
If you want to go on an autumn adventure with your family, consider the Relève package. This is an ideal hunting trip for two adults accompanied by their children under 18 or a student aged 18 to 24 with a valid student ID.
This package includes accommodation in a chalet for three nights and hunting access rights. Additionally, if your hunting group consists of at least one person with a valid introductory permit, you can benefit from a 10% discount on your midweek small game hunting trip using the promo code INITIATION.
Concrete gestures
To support the next generation, Sépaq, in collaboration with the Quebec Federation of Hunters and Fishermen, has published the guide “The ABCs of Small Game Hunting.” We’ll learn how to identify and identify the species to hunt, what equipment to bring, how to prepare and preserve your harvest, and much more. The guide is offered free of charge in game reserves. You can also get it on the Sépaq website at: sepaq.com/abc-petit-gibier.
Very close to Quebec, in the Laurentides Game Reserve, more specifically in the L’Étape and Croche-McCormick sectors, we have created trails accessible by mountain bike, bicycle or on foot for small game hunting. There is also a fun animal target-themed practice course. We have also built equipped shelters along the lakes to provide people who want to prepare the harvested game with the opportunity to cook it.
In the game reserves of Portneuf, Laurentides, Mastigouche, Rouge-Matawin, Saint-Maurice and La Vérendrye there are hiking trails for lovers of quad hunting. In the Ashapmushuan Game Reserve, quad bikes are permitted throughout the area.
LARGE GAME AND ANTICOSTI
Initiatives also impact big game hunting.
During the spring black bear hunt, if you form a group of four or more hunters, you will receive a 25% discount. As with most big game hunting packages offered by Sépaq, it is free for your companions.

There are other benefits to going with young people. For example, in a big game hunting group, if one of the members is under 18 and has a hunting license, the group can enter the family hunting package drawing and save 50% on the package price.
In addition, a young hunter under 18 years old or a student between the ages of 18 and 24 can join an already formed moose hunting group for free.
Sépaq Anticosti is considered a deer hunting paradise and also offers interesting family activities. In fact, you can experience a family hunting trip with a 25% discount in 2023.

You have the opportunity to gain access to this dream area and kill two animals per hunter. Enjoy the joys of hunting accompanied by your partner and children aged 12 to 21.
