About hunting in Manitoba

Manitoba, one of Canada’s three prairie provinces, covers more than 250,000 square miles and has a diversity of habitats, including boreal plains, tundra, prairie, and boreal forest. Pine and spruce forests make up about 48 percent of Manitoba’s land area. The province's northeast corner bordering Hudson Bay is considered tundra. Mixed-grass prairie and agricultural areas make up most of the rest of the province. Manitoba has an abundance of wildlife, including moose, white-tailed deer, black bears, wolves, and caribou. It also has a healthy population of polar bears, which are not currently huntable by nonresidents. To hunt big game (deer, moose, black bear, and caribou) in Manitoba, all nonresident hunters must book with a licensed outfitter and be accompanied by a licensed Manitoba guide, with no more than three hunters per guide. Manitoba is considered one of the top black bear destinations in North America. Bears can be hunted in both spring and fall; most hunting is conducted over bait, and hunters may have opportunities to take color-phase variations of black bears. White-tailed deer, some bucks tipping the scales at 250 pounds, are another big draw, along with moose and caribou. Gray wolves may be hunted by guided hunters with an unused deer, moose, black bear, or caribou tag (personal or party), which is valid for that area, species, and time period. Upland birds and waterfowl, including ducks, geese, and sandhill cranes, round out the hunting opportunities. When bringing firearms into Canada, foreign resident hunters need a permit application from the Canadian Firearms Centre (http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/visit-visite-eng.htm).

Guides worked really hard to help everyone get a bear. Food was excellent. Great fishing was also available.

Long (30+ miles) ATV ride to camp.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage. Comfortable, clean, and stocked with food, milk, clean water. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Low numbers of bears. Only a 5 day hunt.

The adventure of the hunt- the boat used to run up and down the river was all one could ask for Guides were very knowledgeable and ran the boat with confidence and ease

The sit for 5-6 hours got a little long if there were no bears coming in That didn’t happen a lot but when it did it was a long sit- but something one needed to do as you never know what might happen

The Best Bear Hunting and Fishing Experience in North America

Absolutely the best hunting and fishing experience you can have in North America. No detail is overlooked. Every aspect of the time spent there is superb. I have been there twice and there is no other outfitter that I have been to in North America that can compare with them. The guides and the staff is phenomenal.
