Planning Your Trip

When planning your trip to Manitoba in either October or November, you want to consider the fact that our temperature varies from 15 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. (-10 to 17 Celcius) Our snow fall on the ground can also vary between 1 to 12 inches. "Dress Accordingly"; layers of clothing are the best so that you can adjust to temperature and activity.

Taxidermy and Meat Processing:

We can arrange taxidermy here in Manitoba by one of our quality and renowned taxidermists. Meat processing is also readily available in local communities at reasonable costs for those wishing to take home their meat. Hunters are responsible for all processing costs, packaging, handling, and shipping charges for their animals and meat.
