Licences and Licensing Information

Guides

A person, who receives or expects payment or compensation for assisting another individual in hunting a big game animal, upland game bird or migratory game bird, must possess a valid Manitoba Guide Licence.

A guide may not push bush or attempt to drive or flush game to a hunter. A person who is guiding may not hunt while acting in that capacity.

All licensed waterfowl guides require a valid Canada Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp to carry out all activities that fall within the definition of "hunt" (under the Migratory Birds Regulation) while guiding a group of waterfowl hunters. The guide must not exercise any privilege under the hunting license as per the Manitoba Hunting Guides Regulations which prohibits a guide from hunting.

For more information on obtaining a Manitoba Guide Licence, please contact your local Manitoba Conservation office or phone 204-945-7775 and ask for the Guide Licensing Program. You can also email or write to:
