To help you prepare for your Manitoba hunting experience, Blue Skies Hunting Adventures has put together this list of helpful tips and suggested hunting gear.

Helpful Hunt Tips

  • BE PHYSICALLY PREPARED: The better physical condition you are in the better your hunting experience will be.

  • Manitoba weather can be diverse to say the least. Spring hunt can be warm. Fall ranges from pleasant days to below zero with occasional snowfalls. Manitoba winters can be severe, sub-zero temperatures, typical conditions are near or below freezing but above zero with plentiful snowfall. Dressing in layers (including long underwear) is the best way to combat the cold. We provide heated blinds and radio communications.

  • Be sure your boots are broke in prior to beginning your hunt.

  • Mole Skin is a great item to keep in your First-Aid-Kit to help keep sore feet from stopping your hunt.

  • ARCHERY HUNTERS: Be practiced up on shots from many different shooting positions and angles, from 20-50 yards for the best chance at bagging your priced trophy.

  • RIFLE HUNTERS: for bear hunting shots are no farther that 60 yards. For whitetail hunters you should be able to shoot 200-300 yards for the best chance at bagging your trophy animal.  Also, be familiar with your bullets and bring extra.

  • Scent Killer - Dead Down Wind now has a liquid pack.

  • Thermacel - This is a must for spring and early fall hunts, you don't want flies or mosquitoes to make your hunt miserable.
