Migratory Game Bird Hunting
Waterfowler Heritage Days
Waterfowler Heritage Days is a mentoring
program which provides qualifying resident youth 12 to 17 years
of age with the opportunity to hunt ducks and geese during a
special season.
Waterfowler Heritage Days introduces Manitoba
youth to the concepts of ethical utilization and stewardship
of waterfowl and other natural resources. Waterfowler Heritage
Days provide an educational opportunity during a special season
and help to ensure a high quality learning experience for youth
interested in hunting.
Waterfowler Heritage Days commence on September
1 and close on September 7 in GBHZ's 2, 3 and
4. During this season, youth do not require a provincial Game
Bird Licence or a Canada Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit
or Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp. Youth hunters 12 to
17 years of age, who have passed the
Manitoba Hunter Education Course, may hunt ducks and geese
during this special season.
Youth must be accompanied by an adult mentor who may supervise
up to two youth hunters at one time. Youth hunters must abide
by all other regulations and bag limits set for the waterfowl
season in the GBHZ in which they are hunting. Adult mentors
do not require a provincial Game Bird Licence, but must possess
a Canada Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit and Wildlife Habitat
Conservation Stamp. Adults mentoring youth during Waterfowler
Heritage Days may not carry a firearm in the field
or hunt migratory game birds.
