Moose hunting season in Manitoba opens Dec. 1 and all hunters are asked to follow all hunting and safety rules. Conservation Officers will be deployed to ensure access to game hunting areas (GHAs) is maintained, so licensed hunters can hunt safely and responsibly and that hunting regulations are followed. Key safety guidelines to remember: always carry your valid hunting licence and identification, wear hunter orange for visibility, know your target and what lies beyond before shooting, do not trespass on private or restricted lands, and report illegal hunting or wastage to the Manitoba Conservation Officer Service by contacting the Turn in Poachers line at 1-800-782-0076. Hunters who are active in areas where chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a concern should have harvested animals tested, practise safe carcass-handling protocols and avoid consumption of any animal that has tested positive or has not yet been tested. To access the CWD dashboard visit www.manitoba.ca/cwd. Manitoba Natural Resources and Indigenous Futures reminds all hunters across Manitoba, including licensed hunters and those exercising Indigenous harvesting rights, of their shared responsibility to hunt safely, ethically and legally this moose hunting season. For more information about seasons, bag limits and regulations, and GHAs, consult the Manitoba Hunting Guide by visiting www.gov.mb.ca/nrnd/fish-wildlife/pubs/fish_wildlife/huntingguide.pdf.
