Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship advises that effective immediately, moose hunting is closed to all hunters in Game Hunting Areas 29 and 29A, in the Turtle Mountain area.
This conservation closure is in addition to previous closures in and around west-central and eastern Manitoba.

Signs notifying hunters of the closure are posted around the boundary of each GHA.

In addition, GHA 19A east of Duck Mountain is closed to licensed hunters, but remains open to Indigenous and Métis harvesters.

The moose population in these areas has been declining and this step is necessary to help the population recover.
The animals will be monitored closely and if the population increases to an acceptable level, hunting restrictions may be lifted.
