3.6. The possession of a cervid, other than a caribou and subject to the exceptions provided for in the second paragraph of section 3.1, that had lived in the wild and is dead within a zone A is allowed only in that zone and in any other zone A area that partly overlaps it.

The possession of a cervid, other than a caribou and subject to the exceptions provided for in the second paragraph of section 3.1, that had lived in the wild and is dead within a zone B is allowed only in the zone AB that comprises it and in any other AB zone that partly overlaps it.

Despite the first and second paragraphs, possession of such a cervid is also permitted outside the zones in which possession is permitted for the purpose of having the animal registered in accordance with the third paragraph of section 21 of the Regulation respecting hunting activities (chapter C-61.1, r. 1).

Despite the first and second paragraphs, where no plant for preparing meat for human consumption in compliance with the Food Products Act (chapter P-29) and the regulations accepts the cervid in that zone, possession thereof is allowed outside that zone only for the purpose of going to the nearest plant that accepts the cervid.

The first and second paragraphs do not apply to persons who, within the scope of their functions, have such a cervid in their possession

(1)  in a plant where cervid meat is prepared for human consumption in the conditions prescribed by the Food Products Act and the regulations, for the purposes of the fourth paragraph;

(2)  for scientific, diagnostic or educational purposes in a laboratory, veterinary establishment or university-level educational institution;

(3)  for the purpose of the cervid’s salvaging and reclamation in accordance with section 3.8;

(4)  for the purpose of the cervid’s disposal in accordance with section 3.9;

(5)  to transport the cervid to a location for the purposes referred to in subparagraphs 1 to 4.
