First Hunt Winnipeg has offered education-oriented mentored hunts since 2022. We guide deer hunts and grouse hunting. We are unique because we operate with three important goals:
1. We prioritize an educational foundation so that our clients, after their sessions with us, feel comfortable continuing their hunting career independently.

2. We cater our mentored hunts to city dwellers, taking them from the city into the bush, showcasing the endless options of public-land hunting available within a 1-hour drive from the Perimeter (no pickup truck, no ATV, no backcountry outfitting lodge needed). So far, for 2023, we've explored 80+ locations, and have 26 remote but public hunting areas scouted for our clients.

3. We cater our mentored hunts to marginalized communities (2SLGBTQIA+ communities, new immigrant communities, urban living new hunters, etc.) by studying and implementing proper language, teaching with patience, communicating without biases, and providing a safe and open space for all parties (teacher and client) to learn.
