General Details (please read first)
- Our packages are only offered for 1-2 hunters.
- Our prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD) plus 7% PST.
- Our organization is dedicated to hunting knowledge and safety, and therefore, we do not offer any hunts without the Pre-Hunt Meeting.
- Our packages are open to anyone 12 years old or older.
- We only offer our services to Winnipeg residents (or, in special circumstances, those living within a 30-minute drive of the Perimeter).
- First Hunt Winnipeg does not guarantee a harvested animal. But we do guarantee that the piece of land where we bring you hunting will (1) be scouted thoroughly by us beforehand, (2) be active with your desired animal, and (3) not be used by other First Hunt Winnipeg hunters during the hunting year you use it. We also guarantee that, should you be open to learning, our services will leave you feeling comfortable and confident enough to continue your hunting career until you find success.
- Our packages are open to any weapon type, except crossbows.
- While we can advise clients about obtaining their Hunter Education Card and a gun licence (PAL), it is highly recommended that clients be proactive and acquire these two licences several months before the autumn hunting season (bow hunters, of course, don't need a PAL). It is also necessary that all hunters adequately practice their shooting accuracy well before the hunting season (if you are unsure about where to practice, feel free to ask us! We also offer many free target training sessions throughout the summer. Keep an eye on our Instagram page for updates.)
- All of our hunt packages are specific to 1 animal species: Whitetail Deer or Grouse. We also offer our services to Elk hunters, but only if you apply and win an Elk big game draw in GHA 25A or GHA 30. We do not offer any services for Moose, Migratory Game Birds, Boars, Turkeys, or Black Bears at this time.
- Yes! Personalized hunts are available! Please inquire.

- We at First Hunt Winnipeg will transport you and your gear from your home or a convenient location, to the hunt location, and return you at the end of the day.
- We will depart the city 1.5 hours before sunrise, and return around sundown.
- We will spend the days mentoring you through a hunt, putting into practice everything we learned from our Pre-Hunt Meeting, while answering any and all of your questions. This will include:
- Safely accessing our desired hunting location.
- Reading weather.
- Learning how to move as a hunter.
- Discovering hotspots and animal travel corridors.

- Should you harvest an animal, we will teach animal cleaning and quartering, and we will transport the meat from the field to your home. For big game, we can recommend reputable butcher shops, or (for a fee) we can teach you the butchering process.
- The two hunting days do have to be used in the same calendar year, and do have to be for the same animal species. But the two hunting days do not have to be consecutive days, nor must they be for the same weapon season (ie. you can use one day in the deer muzzleloader season, and one in the deer rifle season).
