How about hunting in Manitoba.
Anyone done it?... do you have fun like I do, with the great people I hunt with, and did you get youre deer?:D
Also would a 30-06 be safe enough to use on deer when on point and men are walking towards you?.... or shooting a 30-06 while on the move pushing deer to the point men?...:)
 
I hunt manitoba .Never been a fan of driving deer.I once got caught between drivers and posters in the late 80's while still hunting and was shot at.NOT fun.
I prefer to sit in a elevated blind these days or still hunt my 1/4 or the nieghbors 7-1/4's.
 
I used to hunt with a few friends that pushed bush, but nobody shot towards anyone, or it was their last time hunting with us. I now mostly sit in a ground blind, or still hunt. I shot a good eating 4x4 this year.
 
NO firearm is safe to shoot towards someone else, no matter what the cartridge is! When pushing bush it is essential that everyone know what is a safe zone of fire - if you don't have one, don't shoot!
 
I am a big fan of pushing bush. Sit in the morning, and evening, and push them when they arent moving. I find it far more exciting than sitting, and waiting for a victim.Have the pushers bark(shout) so you know where they are at all times. Baze orange is also a good idea.
 
I know i could google it but as I'm here now, What does a Non Resident Canadian have to pay to hunt deer in Man. ? And is there any "guiding requirement" ?

I live in Alberta and have gone to Sask. to hunt deer but may give Man. a try some day.
 
Sure a 30-06 is great for deer hunting here. We have a pretty big range of habitat, open prarie all the way to Canadian shield. I don't have my hunting guide handy, if I find it I'll post answers about regs. Rob

Pushing deer is not hunting IMO but more just shooting terrified animals that people have pushed out past you.

30 years ago I started deer hunting in that manner as I was unskilled and didn't know any better.

Today I sit mornings and evenings. Scout inthe afternoon and have shot some nice bucks while poking around scouting.

We all have our own methods of putting meat on the though:)

This is a great reply and pretty much cover's it for me too. Anyone I've since ran across that tell me they hunt by pushing bush are not hunters or sportsmen in my eye's and I don't care where they live. I hunted deer in Manitoba for 40 years. There is no hunting skill involved in being a pusher or on stand.
This reply should get this post going.

Some areas in Manitoba are perfect terrain for pushing bush, others are not. It's a legal hunting activity and those that enjoy doing it can have at it, I see nothing wrong with it. Same goes for baiting in SK.
There's no skill involved in sitting in a heated blind and waiting for a monster buck to appear either.
However, you're probably one of those rare hunters that sneaks up stealthily on sleeping giants and puts them down mercifully before they have a chance to know you're there, right? ;)

I have no issues with any legal hunting practice. There are enough anti's out there that despise all hunters, so I really don't think your comments are justified. Next time, keep them to yourself, or be prepared to open yourself up to criticism on whatever hunting you practice.

LMAO....No skill?.....So says the guys who can't hit a moving deer.

I do both stand hunting, and pushing bush, and it takes a whole hell of alot more skill to shooting pushed game than sitting in a stand waiting for a victim.

Its around 155 dollars for a non resident Canadian to buy a tag.

In the southern parts of the province, there are no guide requirements as long as you hunt with a resident. Far as I know.... non resident aliens (Americans) are not allowed to hunt the southern parts. (please correct me if im wrong?)

The more northern areas require a guide, and quite a few Americans go to the more northern parts of the province.

I hope you aren't serious about shooting toward people that are walking towards you ...

Its all safe... No point men shoot at anything, not even a rabbit or coyote when the pushers are advancing anywhere past the half mile line.
We can see them coming and will only take shots at incredibly safe targets that are right angle or cross behind the point men.

Just as its the bush pushers responsibility to shoot only ahead or behind the line of walkers while always looking ahead for the location of the point men, which are generally a half mile apart, and more than a half mile ahead.

Its a great way to cover a lot of ground and put up most bucks, I cant say all the big ones cause some will lay low and let you walk by and the hunter will never know:eek:

Those are SK regulations you're quoting.

A non resident Canadian doesn't need a guide or a resident to hunt with, that's province wide. Licenses can be bought over the counter.

Non resident, non-Canadians need to go through an outfitter.

But there is skill sitting in a tree stand above where a deer's normal predetors would be?:p

Thank you for single handedly pointing out to non-hunters that there is absolutely no skill required to hunt.;)

The "my way or the highway" posts are almost always amusing.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I don't agree with yours. It seems a little high and mighty. Any newbie can nail running shots, right:agree:.How do you hunt that requires so much more skill than doing a push? :nest:
