RE: winnipeg...what is there to do?
There is certainly no shortage of game and fish within easy driving distance of the city.
As rbduck said. Tons of deer opportunities with an hour of the city, Moose anywhere from an hour and a half to 4-5 hours depending on where you want to go. I leave this Sunday for a week of bowhunting moose and the drive will be about three hours.
You can shoot ducks and geese that roost on the retention ponds in the city at night and then fly out past the perimeter to feed. A little over half an hour and you can hunt near Oak Hammock Marsh. About an hour to Delta marsh. Lots of little marshes and other great waterfowl spots in the Interlake area.
You want fishing. An hour and a half to the Whiteshell. Walleye, Pike, bass, you name it. A little farther north and you get a little more remote in Nopoming park. More great spots to hunt and fish.
It's all here, just a little farther than 10 minutes.
9 months of winter just means more ice fishing and snowmobiling!! I'll take that over 30 degrees and humid any day.
