Mentored Hunting

Mentored hunts introduce Manitoba youth to the concepts of ethical utilization and stewardship of wildlife resources. They provide an educational opportunity and help to ensure a high quality learning experience for youth interested in hunting.

An adult supervisor / mentor may be held accountable for the actions of a youth hunter.

Deer Hunting

Youth and first-time hunters can participate in a mentored hunting program at various times and locations during the deer hunting seasons. Participating youth and first-time hunters are required to purchase the appropriate hunting licence. For more information see the white-tailed deer seasons.

Waterfowler Heritage Days

A qualifying youth can hunt during Waterfowler Heritage Days (September 1 to 7) without purchasing a provincial Game Bird Licence, or a Canada Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp.

Waterfowl Hunting

In addition to Waterfowler Heritage Days, youth can participate in a mentored hunting program at various times and locations throughout the season. Participating youth and first-time hunters are required to purchase the appropriate hunting licences.

Wild Turkey Seminars

Youth and first-time hunters can attend an evening seminar that discusses ethical and safe practices for hunting wild turkeys.

 

Hunt Safely, Hunt Smart

Mentored Hunting Opportunities for Manitobans

Manitoba Conservation, in co-operation with the Manitoba Wildlife Federation, Delta Waterfowl Foundation, Ducks Unlimited Canada and the National Wild Turkey Federation Canada is offering young and first-time hunters the opportunity to take part in:

  • Mentored Waterfowl Hunters
  • Mentored Deer Hunts
  • Wild Turkey Seminars

These mentored hunts are a safe and effective method of introducing young and first-time hunters to hunting.

Hunting with a mentor

Our mentors are experienced hunters who put their years of hunting experience to good use by helping to teach new hunters safe and ethical hunting practices. This way, Manitobans who are new to hunting learn the right way to hunt in our province's great outdoors.
