Zec Bas-Saint-Laurent is pushing its action even further to make big game hunters more responsible in their quest for a coveted species.
It will make him benefit from the knowledge of the speaker and trainer specializing in big game research, Yves Martineau, first president and co-founder of the Association des Conducteurs de Chiens de Sang du Québec.
His lecture will be presented this Friday, September 1 at Salle Michel-Leblanc, École Paul-Hubert, in Rimouski, at 6:30 p.m.

“Improved” hunters
Yves Martineau discusses the anatomy of big game bear, moose and deer, the reactions of target animals, signs of injury, search techniques, the best place to target big game, shooting control and advice after the shot.
During his conference, Yves Martineau deals in particular with the anatomy of the big ones and the reactions of the targeted animals.
“He is a specialist in the anatomy of big game, which he has explored and reconstructed from the real organs of moose and deer. Yves will share his knowledge, in addition to providing practical and essential advice for precision shooting. His training is based on lived experiences. It’s a 5-star conference,” said ZEC-BSL president Guillaume Ouellet.
A target of the CRR
This conference is part of the objectives of the “Recognized Responsible Hunter (CRR)” pilot project, which aims to make hunters aware of the importance of better using their hunting gear and ensuring accurate shooting.
In 2022, the CRR program educated 1,208 firearm hunters, 899 crossbow hunters and 64 bow hunters, for a total of 2,171 participants. Several participants have followed the double bow-crossbow and firearm training.

“Now that these hunters have been made aware of the CRR program, the moose has regained its former glory,” ZEC-BSL President Guillaume Ouellet had already told us.
