The Saskatchewan government says the Big Game Draw and Canadian Resident White-tailed Deer Draw have been re-opened and the deadline has been extended to May 31 at 5 p.m.

The Environment ministry says they had issues with the system on Wednesday evening which verifies Saskatchewan residency.

To make sure the process is fair and transparent, they have decided to extend the draw date and will provide results as soon as they become available.

They also apologize for any frustration experienced by hunters trying to submit applications.
