The only part of the province that has any limitations is in the south east part of the province because of Sage Hens. And even in that part of the province you are good to go after Aug 1...Just as long as you have permission from the land owner or lease holder you are good to go....

4. Hunting
(a) Hunting Defined
For purposes of the Wildlife Act, “hunt” means to [WA 1(1)]:
shoot at, harass or worry,
chase, pursue, follow after or on the trail of, search for, flush, stalk or lie in wait for,
capture or wilfully injure or kill,
attempt to capture, injure or kill, or
assist another person in any of the above actvities while that other person is so hunting.
However an animal is not being hunted when the person is not carrying a weapon and their activity is "restricted to watching, photographing, drawing or painting a picture of the animal", or where they are seeking with humane methods to recapture a wildlife or controlled (exotic) animal that has escaped from a permitted premises (such as a zoo) [WA 1(2)].
This definition of hunting applies even where a person is hunting decoy animals set out by enforcement authorities for purposes of entrapment [WA 1(6)] (eg. moose silouettes).
