To qualify for a hunting licence in Manitoba, 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.
Hunter Education Manual
The Manitoba Hunter Education Manual (PDF) is available on-line, at no cost. Reading the manual prior to the class is highly recommended. The Manual is also available in hard copy for $10, or on CD for $6.95 (shipping charges of $4 are extra).
