Questions

White-tailed deer season in Manitoba: answers

Is white-tailed deer season open in Manitoba right now?

As of October 29, 2026, a white-tailed deer season is running in 51 of the 62 Manitoba Game Hunting Areas North Ground evaluates, under the rules it has certified from the official regulations. In 54 units, whether a season is open to you depends on your hunt — licence, residency, tag or method. By unit: depends on your hunt in 54, closed in 8. A running season is not a licence: licensing, legal hunting hours and local restrictions still apply.

When does the next white-tailed deer season open in Manitoba?

After October 29, 2026, the next certified white-tailed deer season opens Nov 9, 2026 and runs to Dec 13, 2026 in GHA 1, GHA 2, GHA 2A, GHA 3, GHA 3A, GHA 4 and 2 more.

How are white-tailed deer seasons set in Manitoba?

Government of Manitoba sets them by Game Hunting Area. North Ground evaluates 62 of them. This page lists what the certified rules state for each of them.

Where do these white-tailed deer season dates come from?

From Hunting Seasons and Bag Limits Regulation, M.R. 165/91, last verified by North Ground on Sep 30, 2026. The authority's own regulations are the law; confirm with them before you hunt.

Before you rely on this

What this page does not decide

  • Each status is the whole-unit answer for October 29, 2026. A season running in a unit is not a licence, and it does not tell you about restricted areas, municipal by-laws, land access or legal hours at a particular spot — Hunt checks an exact location.
  • A unit marked "Not covered here" has no certified rule for this species. That is a gap in North Ground's coverage, not a closed season.
  • This page describes sport hunting seasons. It does not describe harvesting under treaty or Aboriginal rights, which is a separate legal context North Ground does not evaluate.
