Licences and Licensing Information

Big Game Draw Licences

Draw licences are issued for all elk seasons (including archery and landowner) as well as some moose seasons. Licences are allocated through a draw held prior to the season and are valid only in the area(s) stated on the licence.

Applications for draw licences are available in March from most Manitoba Conservation offices and must be received by 4:30 p.m. on the first Thursday in April.

A non-refundable application fee of $6.87 (includes G.S.T.) per hunter is required.

Persons obtaining a draw moose licence may not purchase a non-draw moose licence, except under the exchange program.

A person who is under a hunting licence suspension is not eligible to apply for the Big Game Draw.

The number of hunting licences/tages available for the draw hunting seasons may be amended, should conditions warrant.

More information regarding the big game and landowner hunting licence draw procedures is available on this web site.

Two License/One Tag System

Elk and some moose licences are issued on the basis of one tag for two hunters. Each hunter must observe party hunting regulations and must sign the other's hunting licence prior to hunting. If hunting alone, the licensee must be in possession of the game tag. Licensees may not sign up for another party.
