Resident Youth Hunting Opportunities

Option 3 - Special Youth Hunting Licences

There are two special types of resident youth hunting licences available (see below). Youth hunters must be accompanied by an adult supervisor who is a resident of Manitoba and who possesses any valid current year hunting licence or has proof of graduation from a valid Hunter Education course. Adult mentors must comply with the hunter dress requirements.

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

Deer and Game Bird Licence (Youth)

A qualifying youth hunter can only purchase one Deer and Game Bird Licence (Youth) at a reduced cost of $10.00. This licence entitles a youth to hunt one deer in any deer season (archery, muzzleloader, shotgun/muzzleloader, rifle) until the tag is filled, and to harvest and possess upland game birds in accordance with current bag limits and season restrictions. Once this deer tag has been filled, the youth can continue to hunt deer by exercising either Option 1 or 2 as stated previously.

If the youth wants to continue to hunt in the Youth Muzzleloader Deer Season, the youth must exercise Option 2 and purchase a regular Muzzleloader Deer Licence.

If the youth wants to hunt migratory game birds with a Deer and Game Bird Licence (Youth), a Canada Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp are required.

This licence may be used to form a party during any season for which the licence is valid.

Youth hunters cannot purchase a Second Deer or Third Deer licence unless they are in possession of a deer licence for the archery, shotgun/muzzleloader, muzzleloader or general rifle seasons.

Wild Turkey Licence (Youth)

Youth may purchase a Wild Turkey Licence (Youth), at a reduced cost of $5.00, which is valid during the youth spring and fall wild turkey hunting seasons.

Youth hunters must abide by all other regulations and bag limits set for the wild turkey season.

This licence may be used to form a party during any season for which the licence is valid.
