This year’s local shotgun seasons for deer are Nov. 6 - 11 (Halton and South Wellington County) and Dec. 5 – 11 (South Wellington County) for shotguns and muzzle loading guns. We recommended you avoid hiking in the woods for those dates and otherwise wear bright colours during the fall months. Other townships may have different dates. For more info Ontario hunting website.
