To qualify for a hunting licence, any person who obtained their first hunting licence after 1969 must be a graduate of the provincial Manitoba Hunter Education Course or a similar hunter education course from another province or state. The federal Canadian Firearms Safety Course does not meet this requirement.
How old do I need to be?
A person must be at least 12 years of age to purchase a hunting licence or qualify for the youth hunting provision. We will accept students into our Hunter Education class who are within 3 months of their 12th birthday, however the hunter safety card is not issued until he/she turns 12. Younger students may take the course, but will be required to take the course again when they turn 12.
Where and when are classes offered?
The Manitoba Hunter Education Course is available in almost every community across Manitoba, usually in late summer or early fall, or year round in larger communities.
The Manitoba Hunter EducationManual (PDF) is available on line and reading the manual prior to the class is recommended.
