The season runs until Saturday, December 2.
In a release Margaret Miller, Minister of Natural Resources, says thousands of people across the province enjoy the traditional activity of deer hunting in the fall.
She reminds hunters and hikers alike to stay safe and wear orange when in the woods.
Hunters are also required to carry a compass and waterproof matches.
Anyone going into the woods should carry a map or GPS unit, a first-aid kit, a communications device and tell someone when and where they will be in the woods.
Hunting is not allowed on Sundays during the season except for Oct. 29 and Nov. 5.
