I've heard this Manitoba Canada duck hunt described as a blue collar hunt, but aside from the very reasonable cost it's far from that.  You get alot for what you pay. Lots of geese and ducks, with several different opportunities of hunting them.  Good equipment, good guiding and scouting, and good land to hunt makes it a favorite destination for a no-frills Canada waterfowl hunt where the bottom line is hunting success.  Ducks were mostly mallards and pintails, but we did kill several gadwalls, wigeon, a couple of ringnecks.  Looking forward to going back. ~Pat Pitt

I was hoping for a good goose hunt.  We had a great goose shoot instead.  The first day was awesome.  With only 3 hunters, we shot 60 snow geese, 9 Canadas and 18 ducks. In 30 plus years of duck hunting I have never seen anything like it. All I could think was that this was only day one! The last day ended with mallard limits including one band and a bonus honker. ~Jeff Stallings

About the Area - Manitoba Canada Duck Hunting

The name Manitoba comes from the Cree words "Manitou bou," which mean "the narrows of the Great Spirit."   Manitoba is a huge province with comparably few residents but the people that do live there are renowned for their friendly, hospitable natures and diversity.  Located in the heart of Canada, Manitoba is easternmost prairie province in Canada, it covers about a quarter-million acres and 1.1 million residents. 

Renowned for dramatic landscapes, cultural tradition with warm and friendly people, Manitoba is recognized as the land of 100,000 lakes, a legacy of enormous Lake Agassiz, which covered much of the province after the glacial retreat.  Nearly 20 percent of its agriculture is dedicated to wheat production; thousands of acres of harvested or swathed grains sustain resident and migratory waterfowl.

Manitoba is one of the sunniest provinces in Canada. Two-thirds of Canada's 500-plus species of birds come here, drawn here by the waters.  Manitoba is a premier wildlife-watching destination with among the highest densities of moose, elk and black bear.   The abundance and diversity of waterfowl that migrates through Manitoba during the fall months captivates the hearts of wingshooters during Manitoba Canada duck hunting vacations. Tired shoulders, big smiles in Manitoba.

Bird Cleaning is NOT included in the cost of the Manitoba Canada Duck Hunt package. Bird processing fees are $4 per duck or goose.  For hunters that clean their own birds, a $50 per person storage and transportation fee will be assessed.

• All imports into the US of sport-taken migratory birds may only be imported by the person who hunted them. A hunter cannot give the birds to another person to take into the US on their behalf.

Canada Duck Hunt Checklist (PDF)

Manitoba Canada Duck Hunting on over 30,000 exclusive acres of prime agricultural land and day-roost waters, morning limits of honkers and ducks are not uncommon on this Manitoba duck hunt. If you don't shoot your liberal limit of 8 ducks in the morning, or simply choose not to because the goose action is fast and furious, a hot grain field or small pothole will provide for a relaxing afternoon hunt of decoying mallards and pintail.

"We had an excellent duck hunt in Manitoba, Canada.  The hunting and lodge atmosphere were perfect, I felt right at home.  Would tell everyone to go ahead and experience it at least once in their lifetime. I can't wait to go again."

"My son and I had a great time hunting ducks and geese in Manitoba.  It was the first of what will be many Canada goose hunts for us. 

Reserve me a spot on the Canada spring snow goose hunt.  I'll be returning to hunt ducks in Canada with more friends next fall, too, deposits are in the mail."

"Well, Ramsey, more great duck hunting on a different continent than last time.  We had 6 great days of Manitoba mallard and honker hunting. I enjoyed every part of it.  It certainly lived up to my expectations.  

I've been blessed to hunt many of the prime waterfowling hotspots and this is definitely one of them.   The guide is a true master of decoying birds, an excellent caller and hunter.  I'll be back next season to waterfowl hunt in Canada again.  

Your attention to detail made this hunt trouble free and smooth, from start to finish.  Ramsey Russell's GetDucks.com did it again!"

"The entire Manitoba hunting experience was excellent. The time spent with staff defined my Manitoba Canada waterfowl hunting experience.  They are a very good team, very professional.  Deb made me feel very much at home and appreciated. The staff were professional, engaging and enthusastic - funny as well. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. They were very good at finding the birds in a very vast hunting landscape and putting us on birds.  The hunting was excellent. For what it's worth, all of the hunts were very good - none better or worse than the other. Anita's GetDucks.com pre-trip planning was very helpful.  I rate the Manitoba Canada goose and duck hunting experience a 10 and will recommend it to friends. This type of hunting is very different than how I hunt in Arkansas and I enjoyed every minute."

"Ramsey, I had a great time waterfowl hunting in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.  I loved hunting the prairie.  The sights and sounds are second to none; they don't call it the duck factory for nothing! 

It takes a great deal of effort and attention to detail to consistently put such great hunts together.  The guides did a great job as did you.  The hunts were great and travel between provinces was smooth.  Thanks again."
