World Renowned Hunting
Specializing in Black Bear and White-Tailed Deer, big game hunting in the Swan Valley is second to none. Hunting seasons include black bear, gray wolf, coyote, moose, white-tailed deer, caribou and, for residents of Manitoba only, elk. To hunt big game (deer, moose, black bear, and caribou) in Manitoba, all foreign resident hunters must book their hunt through a registered lodge or outfitter and be accompanied by a licensed Manitoba guide.
The government works with hunters and outfitters to ensure the sustainability of our wildlife and preserve our hunting heritage.
