Big game is plentiful in Manitoba, which offers some of the best hunting in the world. From mountain terrain to woodlands and prairies, Manitoba offers a brilliant array of landscapes and hunting experiences. Hunters come to Manitoba to track whitetail deer, moose, elk, bear, cougar and mountain lion, as well as smaller game like coyote, fox and wolf. It truly is a sportsman's paradise.
Manitoba, a province of Canada, is one of Canada's Prairie Provinces, with most of its territory lying outside the northwestern extension of the Central Plains, which run farther into Saskatchewan and Alberta. Unlike the French-influenced Ontario and Quebec, Manitoba reflects the spirit of the west, and offers big game hunters a memorable sporting experience. As in the other Prairie Provinces, the air in Manitoba is dry and clean, offering cold winters followed by short, warm summers, with bright sunshine throughout most of the year. In the far north, summers are very short, and daylight hours are few during the bitterly cold winter months. The are is fairly dry, with rainfall well below the annual average of twenty inches, and only light snowfall.
There are a number of resources on the Internet, in guidebooks and elsewhere, where you can find outfitters to help you plan your Manitoba big game hunting trip. Most of these outfitters offer a variety of packages where you can book hunting and fishing trips for a week or longer. They offer guides, accommodations, meals and other amenities - of course, the more you get, the more you pay, with packages for hunting elk or black bear running $3,000 or more. It's entirely up to you how much you want to pay for, though. Outfitters will hook you up with a simple do-ot-yourself package, aiming you at a hunting area, leading you to a campsite, then letting you alone to hunt on your own. But some packages include full-time guides, hot cooked meals, luxurious cabins and full assistance with any big game that you bag during your hunt.
Manitoba is a beautiful part of the world, and the opportunities for hunting and fishing are spectacular. Find a good outfitter and get out your checkbook for a big game hunting trip in Manitoba that will provide a lifetime of memories.
