You will be hunting in Manitoba, a province having one of the highest mature trophy buck densities in Canada. Our whitetail deer hunting areas are located in the Interlake region, an area renowned worldwide for it's record book whitetails deer as well as in the southern and western areas of Manitoba, also well renown. The hunting area primarily consists of aspen forest with interspersed meadows. This combined with marshes and willow thickets allows many of the bucks to grow to maturity with very little contact with humans and in turn has resulted in a high buck to doe ratio. Whitetail deer in Manitoba are large bodied with typical large heavy massed antlers. It is not uncommon to harvest bucks weighing over 250 pounds and scoring 160 plus.

We are very fortunate here for our deer hunting numbers have been dropping. It is not unsusual to hunt an entire season on public land and not see another hunter. 3 years ago I harvested a buck that dressed out at 264 lbs. and I only came in third in the interlake area. I've seen some that would make your jaw drop.
