Licences and Licensing InformationDisabled Hunters
A person with a permanent disability who is unable to walk
more than 50 metres due to the nature of the disability, or
to inordinate pain, harm to health or risk to safety caused
by the disability, may be eligible for a permit.
This will authorize the use of a vehicle in a GHA in which such
vehicle use connected with big game hunting is normally restricted
or prohibited.
A permit holder must hunt within 50 metres of the vehicle and may not travel more than  three kilometres off a designated route except to retrieve an animal.
A permit holder who is paraplegic or otherwise permanently confined to a wheelchair may also be authorized to discharge a firearm from a vehicle.
A person with a permanent upper body disability may be eligible for a crossbow permit. This will authorize the use of a crossbow or a mechanical device capable of holding a bow at full draw for use in all archery seasons.
Application forms may be obtained from any Manitoba
Conservation regional or district office or the Wildlife
and Ecosystem Protection Branch. A medical doctor must certify
the disability.
Applications should be submitted well in advance of the time
the applicant intends to hunt.
Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for processing your application.
A Disabled Hunter Permit is valid for the five year period following the date of issue. They are renewed upon written request to the Director of Wildlife and Ecosystem Protection Branch.
