White Tail Deer Hunting

Non-resident (non-Canadian) deer hunters must book their hunt through a registered lodge or outfitter that is authorized to outfit non-resident deer hunters. Also, non-resident hunters must be accompanied by a licensed Manitoba guide. No more than three hunters may use the services of one guide at the same time.

The bag limit in most areas is one deer of either sex. Deer hunting by non-residents in Manitoba is usually done from tree stands or by stalking.

Hunting season occurs in the fall, but dates vary based on the type of hunting (rifle, archery) and region. Rifle season varies from mid-September to mid-October in the north and early November to the end of November in the south.

The black powder season generally occurs during the three-week period prior to rifle season. There are no non-resident (non-Canadian) rifle or black powder seasons in southwestern Manitoba.

Archery season for non-residents is the same as for residents, generally running from late August to early November depending on the region. Bow hunting is also permitted during the rifle season.
