Big Game Hunting
Tree Stands and Blinds
A tree stand or blind on Crown land must be clearly identified
with the name and address of the person who placed it. Tree stands can only be placed two weeks before the season. All parts of tree stands and blinds on Crown land must be removed within two weeks of the close of the hunting season for which they are in use.
The feeding of wildlife in Manitoba is not recommended as it
can have serious consequences to the health
of wildlife.
It is illegal to feed cervids (e.g., deer and elk) in the Riding
Mountain area (GHAs 23 and 23A) and Duck Mountain area (GHA
18 to 18C).
Bait is any thing that is placed for luring or attracting big
game, but does not include decoys, scents or chemical attractants.
It is illegal to:
- Place bait for the purposes of hunting a big game animal,
excluding black bear or grey wolf, or to hunt within 800
metres of bait placed for the purposes of hunting in all areas
of
Manitoba.
- Hunt any cervids within 800 metres of anything posted by
a Natural Resource Officer as a cervid bait.
Decoys may be used for big game hunting.
Electronic game calls are prohibited when hunting big game.
It is illegal to use scents, chemical attractants and other substances that contain urine, faeces, saliva or scent glands of cervids.
Dogs may not be used for any purpose connected with big game hunting.
