About the Area - Manitoba Canada Duck
Hunting
The name Manitoba comes from the Cree words "Manitou bou," which
mean "the narrows of the Great Spirit." Manitoba is a
huge province with comparably few residents but the people that do
live there are renowned for their friendly, hospitable natures and
diversity. Located in the heart of Canada, Manitoba is
easternmost prairie province in Canada, it covers about a
quarter-million acres and 1.1 million residents.
Renowned for
dramatic landscapes, cultural tradition with warm and friendly
people, Manitoba is recognized as the land of 100,000 lakes, a
legacy of enormous Lake Agassiz, which covered much of the province
after the glacial retreat. Nearly 20 percent of its
agriculture is dedicated to wheat production; thousands of acres of
harvested or swathed grains sustain resident and migratory
waterfowl.
Manitoba is one of the sunniest provinces in Canada. Two-thirds
of Canada's 500-plus species of birds come here, drawn here by the
waters. Manitoba is a premier wildlife-watching destination
with among the highest densities of moose, elk and black bear.
The abundance and diversity of waterfowl that migrates
through Manitoba during the fall months captivates the hearts of
wingshooters during Manitoba Canada duck hunting vacations. Tired
shoulders, big smiles in Manitoba.

ice chests large enough to ensure proper care of birds. Ice
