30 Small Game and Game Birds A small game licence entitles you to hunt snowshoe hare, arctic ground squirrel, porcupine, grouse and ptarmigan. (You may use snares to catch hares, ground squirrels, and porcupine.) Marmots, woodchucks and all other small mammals and birds (except those noted in the migratory bird regulations) are protected. Remember that you may not hunt or set snares within 1 kilometre of a residence, whether the occupants are present or not, without permission.

Showing Respect for Small Game Animals Although small game such as ground squirrel and snowshoe hare have no bag limits, these animals should not be regarded as vermin. Along with porcupine, they are a valued food source in the traditions of First Nation people and other Yukon residents. Remember, it is unlawful to waste the meat of small game.
