PHONE, WALLET, KEYS, LICENSES... HUNTER EDUCATION CARD!

Fall hunting seasons are coming fast! Do you know where your Hunter Education card is? Your card isn’t just for buying licenses; in Manitoba hunters must carry physical proof of having completed Hunter Education. Even if you completed the Manitoba course many years ago, your file should be on record. A replacement card is only a phone call away!

Durable plastic Hunter Education cards are available through the MWF office. You can replace a lost card, upgrade to a sturdier version, or even purchase a duplicate for convenience. Call 204-633-5967 to order a card which will be mailed to you. Please have your Hunter Education ID number (or full name and date of birth) and a credit card ready when you call. Alternatively, order one in person at the office in Winnipeg, where you can pay cash, debit, or credit. Hunter Education cards are often a while-you-wait service! MWF members receive replacement cards at half price (please mention your membership).
