Of course it’s different from mine, yours is in Quebec (and Ontario) while mine sits in Argentina, matter of fact it probably has more in common with Revontouli with the waterfowl, grouse, moose, bear and white-tail

Okay bad news: The Caribou do poorly in Quebec in general and it seems like hunting for all caribou are generally off-limits there (they also have no season in Ontario)

Good News: there are a few species that can be used

  • Wolves do range thorough southern Ontario and Quebec and Wolf Hunting does seem to be allowed in both. You could do either Eastern Wolf or take the safe route and do Grey Wolves
  • You could also add the infamous Eastern Coyote, which tend to have wolf DNA and can be more aggressive then your average coyote
  • A potential small game animal could be Beavers
    (First image is of the Eastern Wolf, the second is of the Eastern Coyote)

I just realized you already have Wolf on your list after typing all of that haha, guess you can still choose between Grey or Eastern Wolf

#

I think regarding the fact that Caribou are protected in Quebec, Beaver wouldn’t be a bad inclusion: for one a lot of us want our revenge on the paddle-tailed tent wreckers and secondly the beaver has a huge part to play in the early days of Canada and was part of why they kept going west. And they can also be used as a back-fill for other reserves

Mallard: Males have a bright green head, thin white collar, dark reddish-brown chest, yellow bill, and a black rump with a white-tipped tail.
Females are mottled brown with orange and brown bills.
Both sexes have purple-blue secondary feathers on their wing, which is most visible when they are standing or flying.

#

American Wigeon: Compact ducks with round heads. Blue-gray bills that are tipped in black.
Males are mostly brown but have a distinctive green band behind their eyes and a white crown.
Females have brown bodies overall, with a grayer-colored head.

#

Gadwall: Males have an intricate pattern of gray, brown, and black feathers, which look like white-fringed “scales.” Brown head and dark grey or black bill. The back is covered with medium and dark brown feathers. Males have a dark bill.
Females are mottled shades of brown with a dark orange-black bill. Look similar to female Mallards.
Both sexes have a white patch (much smaller on females) on their wings, visible when flying.

#

Northern Pintail: Slender ducks with long tails and necks and a pale black-gray bill.
Males have a cinnamon-brown head, gray bodies, and a white throat and breast.
Females have plain, tan heads and rufous-brown plumage on their bodies.
