The 2026–2027 hunting season in Trinidad and Tobago is set to open on October first and continue until February 28th next year.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries says State Game Licences will go on sale from Monday, September 21st, at designated Forestry Division offices and sales centres.
Each State Game Licence costs one hundred dollars per game species, with hunters allowed to purchase a maximum of three licences. But there are specific restrictions hunters need to note before taking to the field.
Iguana hunting ends on December 31st, and the hunting or possession of iguanas will be prohibited during January, February and March. A fine of ten thousand dollars applies to persons found in breach of that restriction.
Hunting lizards is also prohibited within the municipal boundaries of the City of Port of Spain.
First-time hunters must provide valid government-issued identification and a recent utility bill for address verification.
The Ministry is also reminding licence holders that mandatory data return forms must be completed and submitted by May 31st, 2027.
