Youth Hunting in Manitoba
The future of hunting is in the hands of our youth. Manitoba
Conservation has partnered
with several organizations to improve hunting
opportunities for resident youth.
A shared bag limit allows resident
youth hunters to hunt under the direct supervision (within reach)
of a licensed adult supervisor. Any game harvested is included
in the bag limit of their licensed adult supervisor.
Resident youth can harvest their own separate
bag limit provided the youth has purchased the regular licence
for the species they are hunting.
Two special youth hunting licences
are also available for resident youth; the Deer and Game Bird
Licence (Youth) and the Wild Turkey Licence (Youth). Resident
youth must be accompanied by a licensed adult supervisor.
Mentored hunting
provides training in safety and ethics for resident youth and
the first-time hunters. These hunters learn the right way to
hunt in the great outdoors. Mentored hunting opportunities include
Waterfowler Heritage
Days, waterfowl
and wild turkey hunting
for youth.
First time hunters wanting to purchase a licence must be a graduate
of the Manitoba Hunter Education Course or a similar hunter education course from another province or state.
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.
Be sure to refer to the hunting regulations guide for detailed information
on these youth hunting opportunities. You may pick up a copy
of this guide at any Manitoba Conservation
office and at hunting licence
vendors. You can also download this
guide for printing.
