Non-resident Hunting in Manitoba
Manitoba has many hunting opportunities for non-resident hunters.
Non-resident hunters are defined as follows:
- A non-resident is a person who is a Canadian citizen, but is not a Manitoba resident.
- A non-resident alien is a person who is neither a Canadian citizen nor a resident of Manitoba.
To hunt big game (deer, moose,
black bear, and caribou) in Manitoba, all non-resident alien
hunters must book their hunt through a registered
lodge or outfitter, authorized to outfit non-resident alien
hunters. It is also mandatory for all non-resident alien hunters
to be accompanied by a licensed Manitoba guide, with no more
than three hunters per guide. Non-resident hunters must only use the services of the outfitter specified on their hunting licence.
During the wolf season,
non-resident and non-resident alien may hunt gray wolves only
if they possess an unused deer,
moose, black
bear or caribou
game tag (personal or party), which is valid for that area,
species and time period. Non-resident alien gray wolf hunters
must be accompanied by a licensed Manitoba guide.
All non-resident and non-resident alien game
bird hunters (migratory and upland game birds) do not require
the services of a guide. Non-resident aliens, wanting to bring
their dogs into Canada,
should contact the Canadian
Food Inspection Agency for information on permits.
Non-resident and non-resident
alien youth hunters are not eligible for any of the resident
youth hunting opportunities. All non-resident youth must purchase
the appropriate big game or game bird hunting licence if they plan to hunt in Manitoba.
When bringing firearms into Canada, non-resident alien hunters
are advised to contact the Canadian
Firearms Centre for information on permits, possession,
storage and transportation. Also, it is recommended non-resident
alien hunters contact Canada
Border Services Agency when crossing the border from United
States into Manitoba.
Non-residents shippring or transporting big
game or game birds
out of the province or the country may be required to meet certain
conditions and/or obtain relevant permits.
Hunters may purchase licences
by mail.
Be sure to review the appropriate section in the hunting regulations
guide for more information on the species you wish to hunt.
