e guide requirements for a Nunavut resident depends how long the resident has held a harvest-ing licence, and on the availability of approved, licenced guides. e Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO) in the community has theresponsibility for approving individuals to be licenced as guides, and also has the authority towaive the guide requirement.

Upon qualifying as a resident in Nunavut, a personcan hunt big game in the following circumstances:(i) If they are accompanied by a licenced profes-

sional big game guide or community big gameguide (community big game guides are onlyallowed to guide for Nunavut residents) approved by the HTO.

(ii) If the HTO waives the guide requirement.(iii) If no guides have been approved by the HTO.(iv) If it has been two years since they obtained

their first harvesting licence.

BE BEAR AWARE!Avoid areas where bears are evident.Look for tracks or droppings before making camp.Avoid locations where terrain may limit your viewand might hide a bear.Do not sleep without a tent.Maintain areas of cooking, food storage, andcleaning fish about 50 m away from sleepingquarters.Latrines should also be some distance from thesleeping areas.Keep a clean camp. Wash utensils and eliminateany greasy smells which especially attract bears.

Produce minimal food waste and pack food in air-tight containers, such as coolers, plastic pails withlids or heavy plastic bags. Do not let garbage accumulate.Elimination of odours is essential. Burn garbageand bury the ashes a distance away from camp.Unburied garbage should be stored in airtight con-tainers. Pack out all garbage when you leave so itis not a danger to future campers. Do not leave camp alone. Watch out for freshtracks near camp. Never feed bears or other wildlife.
